The Sherwood Open

About

The Sherwood Open is a medieval-themed mini-golf game featuring Robin Hood and his crew. Players tackle 18-hole courses through Sherwood Forest, using putts to navigate trees, rivers, and castle walls. Each level introduces environmental hazards like shifting branches or hidden pitfalls. The simple control scheme focuses on angle and power adjustments, with occasional character-specific abilities to aid progress. Humor comes from lighthearted interactions between outlaws, adding charm to the sporty challenge. Released in 1992 for Commodore systems, the game stands out for its quirky take on the genre. While mechanics stay straightforward, the medieval setting and character banter give it a distinct personality. Small but dedicated retro gaming circles praise its nostalgic appeal, though modern players might find the lack of polish dated. At just under two hours of gameplay, it remains a brief but memorable entry in classic C64 sports titles.
