Conquests of the Longbow: The Legend of Robin Hood

The puzzles were difficult and required memorizing (or writing down) a code system for some of them, the humor not on par with other Sierra titles, and while it seems you cannot soft lock yourself, it's very easy to get a bad (or at least not as good) ending. On the positive sides, the graphics are fine for the time and used well. The music fits the era portrayed perfectly. If you don't mind needing a walkthrough, it's not a bad way to spend day.

Well written (both when it wants to be more serious or when funny) and even with the short length gives some time to John, Alan, Will, Marian, Tuck, and Much. Most every choice or action that leads to death is an obvious bad idea, and the game has you do smart things to either survive or to gain more points for a better ending (leaving a room as it was after stealing something, hiding the color of your beard). Both choices that positively effect your reputation (and score) and conversations with your men have you actively looking out for the poor or people driven to you for help. Puzzles are fair, some have worse solutions that will still work but may lead to a worse ending or less ideal result. The druid code is pretty poorly implemented though. Speed setting is nice to have.
