Summary

This is one of the greatest of the classics.

The Good

The play control was excellent, the sound was as good as the Commodore give, and the graphics were stellar. The strategy was one of the best I have ever encountered, and the gamer interface set the industry standard.

The Bad

This is a tough one. Most likely the only thing that I didn't like about the game was the fact that you couldn't actually play as Robin Hood, even though getting help from him was pretty cool it would have been nice to be able to choose him as a playable character.

The Bottom Line

Considering the platform, the time, and the limited capabilities of the Commodore 64, this game should go down as one of the greatest of all time.
