Robin of the Wood

About

Play as Robin in a forest full of dangers and quirks. Your goal is to gather enough cash to buy weapons from a forest spirit, then face the Sheriff’s contest for the Silver Arrow. You’ll dodge Norman soldiers, witches, and wild boars while hunting nobles for donations or slinging flowers at a witch to avoid her traps. Combat and platforming mix with light resource management, you need coins to progress but risk getting caught by enemies or locked up in a dungeon. The game balances action and strategy with its quirky rules. The witch’s flower tradeoff adds a clever twist to enemy interactions, and the Ent’s shop introduces a simple but necessary economy. Released in late 1985, it runs on classic 8-bit systems, giving it a retro charm. While not a household name, its blend of platforming and puzzle elements earned it a niche reputation among old-school arcade fans. Short but tricky, it rewards patience and timing over brute force.
