Review of Conquests of the Longbow: The Legend of Robin Hood by TheReturnOfTheSonOfNothing

This is a childhood favorite of mine.  The game is packed full of old english folklore, and history.  The story is very compelling, and dialog is well written.  The game plays on a day-by-day system, where the player has to complete certain objectives (usually unknown) to progress to the next day.  But certain decisions affect the final outcome of the game.  Some of the arcade-style events in the game don’t work that well in Dosbox, or ScummVM (it emulates them much too fast).  So to avoid them, you can skip them by turning the Arcade meter down in the options.  This is one classic Adventure game that I would love to have a modern remake made!
