[comp.sys.atari.st] Barbarians

A friend of mine asks the following:  does anyone know how to get
past the pendulum in Barbarians?  I've tried running, jumping, etc.
in every conceivable combination.  What gives?

Since I don't play Barbarians, I couldn't help this lost soul.
Any ideas?

In order to get past the swinging pendulum in Barbarian, you must duck,
just as the rock is about to come 'round and bash your skull.  You do this
by using the 'pick up' function on the second screen of icons.  Try that.

If this is the rotating "pendulum" after about 40% of the game, all it
takes is ducking using G for Get and the right timing (duck then walk,
duck and walk, etc.). I hope this helps.
