"The Adventures of Robin Hood" is a computer game released in the autumn of 1991 by Millennium Interactive.
Initially, the game was supposed to be set in the Wild West, but the developers later decided to base it on the legend of Robin Hood. The protagonist, Robin of Loxley, is robbed of his castle by the Sheriff of Nottingham and has to get it back with the help of Maid Marian, Little John, Will Scarlet and Friar Tuck.
The gameplay can be described as an "action RPG". The player controls Robin as he robs from the rich to give to the poor, adventures through Sherwood Forest, defeats the sheriff's henchmen, gathers special objects and saves peasants. Heroic acts increase Robin's popularity among NPCs. Archery plays an important role in gameplay.
The isometric interface developed for "The Adventures of Robin Hood" by Millennium Interactive is similar to the interface used in Populous. "Robin Hood's" interface was later used for "".
The game packaging featured an image of Kevin Costner as Robin Hood from the film , but the story line of the game did not follow the film.
Reviewer Gary Whitta gave the PC version 820 out of a possible 1000 points, praising the graphics, controls and sense of involvement.
