Synopsis

Plot

Thou art somewhere in Sherwood Forest. Thus it begins. Take up thy bow and arrow and gather thy merry men, for thou art Robin Hood. There are rich merchants to rob and great deeds to do. But have care, bold Robin! The sheriff of Nottingham longs to see thy neck in a noose. Thou wilt surely need all thy wit and cunning to succeed.

Notes

This was adventure #14 in the SoftSide Adventure of the Month Club subscription service. It was released in July 1982 and first advertised in SoftSide magazine, issue 31, vol. 5, no. 10, July 1982, p. 81.

This is called 'Robin Hood' in the original advertisement and the game itself and 'Robin Hood Adventure' in the instructions. The latter was written by SoftSide staff, not the original author, so the former is considered to be the correct title.

This is loosely based on the legend of Robin Hood.
