Many of you might think that Cimmeria only existed as a fictional world in Robert E. Howard's weird tales. Although I saw only sources confirming that Howard derived the word from Cymri (Wales), let's assume he was smater than that and inspired himself from its reality counterpart. The Cimmerians were nomad people living somewhere around the Black Sea. They haven't left their mark on history for a long time, but in their brief moment of glory they succeded in conquering the kingdoms of Phrygia and Lidia, creating also chaos and panic in the greek cities from nearby.

After their Golden VIIth Century (BC) they disappeared without a trace, probably assimilated by other people. But here's a character that bears their name and has survived up until now: Conan, The Barbarian; Conan, the Cimmerian; Conan, the Wanderer... We've uploaded new stuff for the game: the manual, the installation reference and various boxshots, including the map of Shadizar and a front cover that features Conan himself and a beautiful female warrior wearing the usual highly-protective armour hiding only her most sensitive parts. |+_+| Our famous Abandonian Battle-Axe is awarded to our non-stop scanning robot, Geezer.

Note: For those who were insulted by me when writing in this newspost about Cimmeria as based on the Cimmerians, instead of the Welsh people, you must understand - I was only searching for something interesting to write about.
