Player's Review
"Control super Robin Hood in this brilliant arcade game. Blast the onslaughting enemy fighters in your heroic attempt to rescue the lovely Maid Marian."
Super Robin Hood for the C64 is a single load large level requiring you to navigate the various platforms and ladders in order to reach keys which unlock more platforms usually by activating moving platforms and lifts. Along the way there will be enemies in your path shooting arrows at you. In most cases you need to shoot back defeat them but there are a few that are unreachable and need to be dodged. Luckily they are plenty of health potions spread about and should be used sparingly as you never know if you will be back that way again in need of health. Your objective is to collect all the heats and reach the prison chamber to rescue Maid Marian.
Compared to the Spectrum game the C64 game is quite different looking very zoomed in making it difficult to see what's ahead of you. The graphic style is also quite different when it comes to displaying the moving platforms. The control also handles quite badly on C64 with questionable collision detection. It's all to easy to mess a jump and fall through a platform and even accidently double jump to death.
Overall, I find it a frustrating platformer with just a few sfx to accompany you on your journey.
