[The Fifth Horseman]

Essentially it's one of the authors offering the game from her personal site. Since it doesn't seem to have caused her any problems with Sierra, I think we can safely declare CotL freeware.

Done (until further notice).

Greetings!

I have recently downloaded Robinhood. I had this game over a decade ago as a teenager. I never beat it, but I found it again on here and am trying to get it to work! I have downloaded Dosbox and know how to use it basically. My problem is, the Robinhood version you download is the pre-installed version. how can I install this?

Thank you to all for your time and help,

Tommyboy

if you need to change the game's configuration look for EXE or COM files in the directory other than the one used to start it.

Abandonia.com's version is 1.1. I'm not sure if this is the latest version ever released. This game still crashes at random times due to "Out of handles!" :notrust: The errrors are probably due to a limitation with the SCI engine itself. Well, that's another reason to save your game!

You can only fight the Abbey's monk in brown robes with Little John's quarterstaff. The exact time clicking the walk cursor determines which monk appears on Watling Street first. Don't take too long! You can also visit Watling Street by clicking the hand cursor on it, as if you can just grab & pull it towards you. Don't worry about meeting the "wrong" monk, because you'll meet the other one tomorrow. You need to meet both of them to finish the game.

Speaking of playing as an Abbey monk, does anyone know of a good first move or general strategy for winning Nine Men's Morris? I remember searching and finding an entire solution on the Internet somewhere, but there's no hints at all in Abandonia.com's walkthrough.

When I played through it, my highest score can be seen in the last screenshot. And it is WAY below the max. Maybe it is because I shot one of the pixies?

I don't know how he did this, but some player INTENTIONALLY finished the game in the worst possible way to see the worst possible ending. Not only did the outlaws fail to add to the puny 300 ransom they started with, the merry men actually LOST 10 outlaws & only scored 980/7325 points! You must do everything Robin Hood doesn't stand for. (make people mad, kill peasants, & letting Maid Marien die & not resurrect her)

He's posted the worst ending on YouTube.com http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ay5sd...eature=related

My siblings and I even transcribed someone the midi music for the piano. This game had it all, and now I can enjoy it again.

One day, I will get max points.... one day.

I have a secret to get max points. Please don't try for max points before finishing the game once, but if you wish to redo the entire game for max points, here's the max points walk-through.

Look at the bottom of this walk-through for the all of the coat-of-arms & other information which was included in the original manual which you will need to finish the game.

Just finished the game, really liked it a lot, except that I lost some points by turning the arcade level way down. I was tired of being hit by falling rocks on that damn tower!

I love how Sierra will find a way to inject some humor into even the most "serious" games. This is what happened when I was disguised as a monk, and I clicked the hand cursor on the other monk in the abbey:

You should tell Kevin McCullough about this... I'm sure he'll love to spout another tirade on how computer games are corrupting the minds of innocent little children (LULZ).
