Personal review

A showcase for the A500 produced as a conversion of the Atari ST title. Showed off the console's excellent graphics and sound capabilities.

One of my first games ever. Great graphics. Free england, talk to Robin the Hood, rescue beautiful maiden, take part in tournements, be king! Has also little RPG elements and... ah, a little of everything.

Cinemaware went and released most versions of this game for free download. Specifically the "CD32/CDTV" version. But not the Amiga 500 version.
