Conquests of the Longbow: The Legend of Robin Hood
DOS version
Get in the shoes of the Prince of Thieves (Robin Hood)
The Good
Finally someone did an adventure game about the legend of Robin Hood, he is the perfect character for an adventure game,
Really nice graphics for a game as old as that, there are some real good effects (like flowing water, which was really well done)
The music was beautiful (perfect for a game ambiented in the 12th century)
The gameplay is great, as almost all Sierra classic adventures. Lots of different ways to advance in the game, and hey, there are more than one possible endings! So replayability is asured.
The Bad
Maybe some cut-scenes lack of 'realism', they were only backgrounds with some moving sprites (like a head moving when the character speaks) and that was kind of odd.
There are too some arcade sequences (but hopefully difficulty can be adjusted at the game control panel)
If that game had a CD version with speech it would have been almost perfect.
The Bottom Line
A classic of the genre, not as popular as other Sierra titles but very interesting, if you like bard stories and all that kind of stuff check that game.
