Based on the hit film, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves is an action-adventure RPG released for the Game Boy in 1993. Players take on the role of Robin of Locksley in a quest to save Maid Marian and defeat the Sheriff of Nottingham. The game blends overhead exploration and skirmishes with distinct side-view combat sequences for one-on-one sword duels.
How to Play
Your goal is to gather a band of Merry Men, navigate Sherwood Forest, and conquer Nottingham. For general movement, use the arrow keys (D-pad). Press Z (A button) to attack or confirm selections, and X (B button) to sprint or cancel. Press Enter (Start) to open the inventory screen, and Shift (Select) to cycle through your available weapons or items.
Tips
- Keep a close watch on your companions' health during large brawls; you can heal them using food from your inventory to keep your party strong.
- In the side-scrolling duels, patience is vital. Focus on blocking incoming strikes and counter-attack immediately after a successful parry.
- Thoroughly explore castles and forests to find hidden items like apples and meat, which are essential for surviving longer dungeon crawls.
