                              ROBIN HOOD

                               by Xonox

Travel back in time to life in Merry Ole England.  Don't
forget your bow and arrows or your quarter staff.  Come on
now, Robin Hood is in dire need of your assistance to combat
the evil Sheriff of Notingham's men.

This is a fun game with great graphics (especially the
Castle scene).  There is a two player option and one to four
levels of skill to choose from.

In the first scene, you are Robin minus all your jolly band.
You have to fight off all the Sheriff's men.  You fire
arrows by turning the joystick in the direction you wish to
fire and pressing the fire button.  Do not stand in one
place as there maybe as many as six of the Sheriff's men on
the screen at any one time firing arrows back at you.  If
you are hit, you lose one life.

After you completely eliminate all the Sheriff's men in this
screen, you will be able to cross the bridge in the lower
right corner to the next screen.  In the second screen, you
are facing the Sheriff's men with your quarter staff.  In
this section, you won't lose any lives but you will have to
go back to the bridge each time you are knocked down.  If
you position Robin just a fraction above the man you are
attacking you will knock him down.

After knocking down all the men in this area, you can cross
over to the right of the screen to go on to the Castle.  Now
you will change back to your bow and arrow and fight the
sheriff's men both in the fields around you and in the
Castle above.  Here, as in the first scene, if you are hit
by an arrow you will lose a life.  So far no one in my
family has rated higher than a Stable cleaner when we got
killed off but it doesn't stop the boys from wanting to play
this everytime they have a chance.  Now, I have to go out in
the backyard and get a little target practice..........
