Could be Gods. Opening the doors to end a level usually requires a lot of lever switching to finally find a key.
If this is not the game you're looking for, I recommend you trying some links SFaPiL posted in this thread (almost last post on first page):

Looking through those playlists helped me finding the game I was searching while browsing Amiga sites and random youtube videos didn't help me much.

Maybe it's Deliverance then. The protagonist throws axes and doesn't have a sword but he's a barbarian type, starts in a castle and the sprite is really big.

Nah, thanks, but it's not any of the games listed on the sites you linked to above.
You're right about the sprite being really big though. It's just that type of game. Only without the helmet. And I think the enemies were giant bats or something. But I never got far because that gate just blocked the way.

Keep an open mind on what you find. I remember looking for a Master System game for a long while a few years back. Every time I came across Aztec Adventure, it seemed like it had similarities, but wasn't it. Later came to find out (from my uncle) that it WAS Aztec Adventure. My little kid memory made me remember it as much brighter and flashier than Aztec Adventure actually is. And as fun as I felt AA was when I'd try it to see if it was the game, I just couldn't believe that this game, not so colorful as what I remembered was that game, so I kept looking (before my uncle told me, that is).

Dude, thanks. I think I found it thanks to this, although that would mean my memory was way off in some aspects. I don't remember the game being mouse-controlled for example. But those walls and those gates and the dragon things that I might easily have mistaken for bats...

Yeah I remember magazines at the time raving about it, then got bad reviews a fear years later when the developers re-released it to budget label.
But the way he describes the game it sounds so much like this, but sewer? I don't remember that :P

Ok people, so I think I found it thanks to your help. I think I was talking about Skrull the Barbarian, although I really don't remember it being mouse-controlled.
Gee, thanks, especially to ErrEff.
I have been looking for this for 20 years. I'll try this on WinUAE.

That other nostalgia thread reminded me of this:
I played a game on my Amiga 500 in the early nineties and I just can't remember the title.
I've been trying to find it on the net for ages but it keeps eluding me.
All I can give is this description:
The player was a dark-haired loin-clothed barbarian type character (it wasn't the Barbarian series). You'd start out in a sewer-type environment. The colors were mostly yellowish-stonewall and mossy-green. The player had a big sword and the player sprite was way larger than most sprites in games at the time. You'd start out running sideways towards a huge metal gate that I never found out how to open.
Eventually the computer would break for good while trying to open that gate.
Your experiences may have differed somewhat from mine.
I have little hope of recovering the title based on this but I appreciate any input. Thanks!
Edit: All movement was strictly horizontal, although you could jump. But it wasn't like Golden Axe or Moonstone where you could move on the ground in all directions. You'd see the scene in flat 2D from the side.
Edit 2: Changed "castle" to "sewer". Sorry. My memory of the game is a bit blurry.
