Released for the NES in 1991, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves is an action-RPG based on the hit movie of the same name. Players guide Robin through an overhead world, exploring Sherwood Forest, gathering Merry Men, and engaging in side-scrolling sword duels. Blending adventure elements with action-oriented combat, it offers a varied experience as you fight to free Nottingham from the Sheriff’s grip.
How to Play
Your goal is to recruit allies, equip better gear, and eventually defeat the Sheriff. You can play directly in your browser using the standard NES controls: move Robin with the Arrow keys, use Z and X for your primary attacks and actions, press Enter to open the menu or start the game, and use Shift for Select.
Tips
- Pace your duels: During the side-scrolling sword fights, timing your blocks and strikes is much more effective than simply mashing buttons.
- Explore thoroughly: Take the time to search for hidden items and better equipment in Sherwood Forest; upgrading your gear is essential for surviving later battles.
