In this 1983 Atari 2600 action release by Xonox, you play the legendary archer on a quest to rescue Maid Marian and recover stolen gold from the Sheriff of Nottingham. Originally famous for being sold on unique double-ended cartridges alongside other titles, the adventure spans multiple stages including Sherwood Forest, the castle approach, and the fortress interior.
How to play
Your objective is to clear each screen of henchmen to progress toward the castle. You must rely on careful positioning and timing, as you cannot move while drawing your bow to shoot. Be careful not to hit your own Merry Men when they occasionally appear.

Tips
- Stop and shoot: Since you cannot move while firing your arrows, find a safe lane before taking your shot.
- Mind the Merry Men: Keep an eye out for friendly faces and hold your fire when they cross your path.
