Robin Hood Conquest of the Longbow war ziemlich gut!
148When Conquests of the Longbow was released in 1991, Sierra Online was at the height of its creative power. Alongside the odd royal spawn, space travelers, and lecherous white-suited characters, the studio regularly ventured into more unusual territory. Especially when a game bore the personal signature of a game author. That was exactly the case here. The creative mind behind Longbow was Christy Marx, who had already proven with Conquests of Camelot two years earlier that point-and-click adventures could be far more than pixel puzzles with rubber chickens.
Where Camelot combined the Arthurian legend with spiritual riddles, ancient gods, and a critical eye on religious fanaticism, Longbow took it one step further. A historically grounded Robin Hood adventure deeply rooted in medieval myths, political conflicts, and the green magic of ancient forests. Marx was not only a developer, but also a historian at heart. For the game, she pored over ancient legends, studied clothing, heraldry, and the legal system in twelfth-century England, with the goal of telling a believable, yet fairytale-like version of the legend. In an era when many games relied on fast-paced action or crude humor, Conquests of the Longbow was almost a work of literature. The player's decisions had a real impact on the outcome; depending on whether they acted kindly or cruelly, cunningly or combatively, they influenced not only the fate of the hero but also that of the kingdom.
