ROBIN HOOD’S QUEST
More than once upon a time, a brave man has traversed hill and dale, river and valley, forest and fortress – to rescue his beloved. Yet never was a woman so beautiful and beloved as Maid Marian, and never was a man so brave as Robin Hood. Yet as much as Robin Hood was brave, the Sheriff of Nottingham was wicked! He was a horrible man – a dreadful, terrible tyrant who taxed the poor and made them poorer. And he hated Robin Hood, who was good and gallant and – unlike the Sheriff – so handsome that Maid Marion had no sooner met eyes with him than she was spellbound. She fell more in love with him than anyone had ever fallen in love before, and more in love than anyone has ever fallen in love since! But the Sheriff was not only wicked – he was also jealous! Now he has kidnapped Maid Marion to steal her from her beloved, and that is where Robin Hood’s Quest begins! Not hill nor dale, not river nor valley, not forest nor fortress will stop him!

IN-GAME INSTRUCTIONS
You must guide our hero through Nottingham Forest, Towne and Castle in order to rescue Maid Marion from the evil clutches of the Sheriff of Nottingham. Before you can reach her, you must first find and return the items that have been stolen from the Merry Men by the Sheriff’s guards, who patrol the forest in search of bandits. If you are caught by the guards, you will lose a life and current level must be restarted.
You can use a number of different methods to avoid the Sheriff’s guards:
• Sneaking – sneak past the guards when they’re not looking
• Whistling – whistle, then run away, to lure guards away from chests and items
• Gold – drop bags of gold in front of the guards to distract them – they’ll pick up and count the money
