Plant the seed and it seem to lead somewhere NEW... tip.
I was 5 short of the ring for Marion :( Little bug (played the DSK), when I restarted the game, the last heart and 3 arrows were still present on screen from the previous game. Looks like you're not blanking out the top bar all the way over... the book was still there too!
This game's aesthetic is masterful. I wasn't alive for the existence of the Commodore 64, but I very much want to own one now. I've been staring at these screenshots for the past five minutes. Is it hard to set up an emulator for the 64?
I tried running the demo with it, but it just says, "? UNDEF'D STATEMENT /n ERROR /n READY"
Tutorials said I could drop the file (currently using the demo one) into the emulator window and it would run it, but that's not happening. Suggestions?
EDIT: I was using the wrong .exe of many. Now though I've mapped my keyboard to the joysticks, I can't get past the "press fire to play" screen...
Love the game! Can you tell us how many different side quests there are? The Saracen said 45 coins for a ring, and I was going to do it, but talked to the king and ended on accident. Is there a completionist checklist?
There are hidden coins to find to get the 45 required. A map by Friar Tuck is available in the download of the game which gives you hints on how to find them.
The Saracen has three sings to sell, so when you get that ring, you will have completed 100% - It takes getting every single coin in the game.
We respect you fully as a gamer and fellow c64 enthusiasts without reaching 100%! :) - We added that for those rare individuals who loves that kind of thing :)
This is a great game. Tough at times due to there not being a save I have found yet... is there one? Also what is this tucks map I hear about?
Okay, I have been a naughty boy and although I have never POKED around before, I have done so for the first time (using an Action Replay "action_replay_6.crt" ) and have some for:
Now the issue I am having is still the same one - Although I can get the Blue Book from Tuck... What and how do I use it? I seem to get to the castle, and just stand there unable to proceed as the gate is down :(
You go as far left as you can, which I think is where you start the game main game from after the intro screen. Climb up and as far left as you can and then leap left. You should land on a higher section that you can continue on. Hope that makes sense.
Thanks for the pokes. I play using the VICE emulator and use the snapshot save/load function to save my progress.
I think we are supposed to give the book to the priest? before he runs away in the cave where 3 eagles attack you right after entering the door. But he goes away too fast. I don't know what the book is used for and I think nobody does. Everybody complete the game with the book still in the inventory.
I've found the Friar Tuck map and managed to find 3 of the missing coins but I can't find the centre 2 in the castle and the 3 in the cave, despite pinging arrows everywhere! Any hints, tips or exact location appreciated. :-)
Also, Your idea for a sequel in the snowy setting sounds fantastic. I'd buy it.
Wow, I’m already in love with this game, but the winter edition completely melted my heart!! :) PLEASE create a full winter version too, I would totally buy it! And yes, please make a series!!
We are considering a future sequel - And agree with you - The winter theme came out nice. Possibly themed "Hunters Moon" - A harsh Winter has struck England as by Witchcraft. Robin Hood must aid Herne the Hunter in breaking the evil spell. (Expect making arrows catch fire by shooting them through flames.)
Great to hear that! :) It sounds wonderful. Anyway, thank you all for this awesome surprise just before my birthday, this game really brightens my weekdays! Sherwood is truly a masterpiece in every aspect. Congratulations, and keep up the great work! Cheers, Tibor Puskás (Snip)
Tight controls, challenging gameplay and TONS of atmposphere (not to mention brilliant tunez) make this a total winner! Also an absolute bargain - costs as much as burger & will keep you satisfied for longer ;)
It's always exciting to see new quality C64 releases. Hasn't waned for me in over 35 years!
What's more exciting still is seeing new developers get a good start. This is their second game, and both have seen nice polished editions from Psytronik. Really great stuff! Can't wait to add this to my collection.
Awesome platform game, colorful, great pixel work, addictive and not extremely difficult. The game crashes when two friends are trapped on top left of the screen and you walk right to the next screen (CRT file version using Ultimate 64 Elite II). I haven't checked it out on TAP and D64 files yet.
Hi, how can I contact you ? I would like to see this in VICE as a snapshot just before the crash. My assumption is that the CART is not fully off as it's OCEAN and there is an issue when it's banked in.
Amazing and very enjoyable arcade adventure with good fx, brilliant gameplay, stunning animations . Im prefer various genres but platforms, action adventure, shooter, action/rpg/puzzles is best than other genres !!
Thanks !!! Good Christmas for you and your family !!
They did it again with their second game—it's wonderful! The title screen is flawless and beautiful, the arrow mechanics are brilliant for eliminating enemies and opening ladders and ropes to progress, the music is fantastic, and the graphics are gorgeous. I've only played a few levels, but I already think it's a great game. Congratulations!♥️👾🕹️

This can happen when you cheat and have many life feathers on the top HUD line at game completion. I should not happen to honest folk ;)

Super easy, just grab Vice.

Okay, I have been a naughty boy and although I have never POKED around before, I have done so for the first time (using an Action Replay "action_replay_6.crt" ) and have some for:
Infinite Lives (use both) :
POKE 32030, 165
POKE 32937,165
Infinite Arrows:
POKE 31726,165

1 coin near a house.
1 coin is in the second screen behind the first door.
2 coins are in the caves behind the door at the far left.
4 coins are in the second part of the castle after paying the ransom.
Where did you find the Friar Tuck map? Been searching for hours and can't find it anywhere!
I think he means the picture of the map that is included in the download bundle (in the map folder)
The map is not in the game. It's in the zip file of the game you downloaded under the folder map.
It works fine on the C64 Ultimate from Commodore too.
I played the CRT version, but wil try the TAP now I know it has music too!

Happy Birthday!
Thank you for this, here is my tribute...
Make a series with new mechanics and more Robin adventures! :)
See my comment above : )
Thank you! :-) Sherwood – Christmas Demo (2025, Griffonsoft)
Nice gfx man...!❤👍
Game finished, I'm very pleased to play it after Musketeer :)
Thank You very much for this masterpiece for the little C64 !
Spoiler alert!!
Well... You did not get 100% completion I see :)
Thanks for playing all the way through!
So, time to re-play ;)
That's the spirit!
PS - You need to use Tucks map 'o secrets to find all you need!
Many thanks ;)
Any clues on where to find it?
Did you translate Friar Tucks latin clue?
If you do that will lead you to what to do.
The stars will hint at where.
Finished ! This time seriously :)
purchased! best homebrew ever seen on c64

fantastic work , the price is absolutely confirmed
Tight controls, challenging gameplay and TONS of atmposphere (not to mention brilliant tunez) make this a total winner! Also an absolute bargain - costs as much as burger & will keep you satisfied for longer ;)
Absolutely freaking love C64 game aesthetics like this! WOW!
Thank you!
Well done guys! Very nice game, stunning GFX , great sound FX and good gameplay.
Thanks!

this is most good pixel work what im ever seen
Thank you so much! <3
Demo file ?
I've heard Santa might bring something...
HAHAHA...DON´T TELL ME.
A playable demo is now available to download! Merry Christmas! :D
Thanks a lot !

I can confirm same thing happens on a CRT version on Mister FPGA.
Time to go through the game again to check the D64 version 😄
...D64 version works fine 👍
It looks like the issue only affects the crt version. As soon as this is resolved a fixed file will be made available in the download bundle.
Hi, how can I contact you ? I would like to see this in VICE as a snapshot just before the crash. My assumption is that the CART is not fully off as it's OCEAN and there is an issue when it's banked in.
Same for CRT version on C64 for Mega65.
Is there a plan to port it to other platforms like Amstrad? It looks like a wonderful game.
Are you an accomplished Amstrad programmer?? ;)
We don't know any...
Unfortunately, I've only made one game in assembler for the Z80 Amstrad.
It would be too hard to make it myself. However, it's a fantastic game.
I'm really enjoying this amazing game, along with Musketeer, Happy with both. Congrats team! :)
Thanks!
Bought the Collectors Edition. This game looks great. Nice Graphics and Music. I own Musketeer and this is a great progress.
Thanks for getting both our games - Much appreciated!
where´s the demo file ??
There are rumours one is being gift wrapped this very moment.
Fantastic game,one of the best of 2025
Thanks! Let's hope the whole c64 world agrees with you :)
groovy 8.6/10
Just purchased. Be great to have an illustrated manual like for Musketeer instead of just plain text.
We are working on it :)
That will be useful. I had to watch the promo video to get an idea of the game play (and that's not altogether a bad thing).
Amazing and very enjoyable arcade adventure with good fx, brilliant gameplay, stunning animations . Im prefer various genres but platforms, action adventure, shooter, action/rpg/puzzles is best than other genres !!

Amazing! ❤️
Playing on Denise emulator...
REQUEST: please, can you add a P - Pause button?
Was ein schöner Platformer! Da gibt es einiges zu rätseln. Schön bunt und mit toller Musik untermalt. Meine absolute Empfehlung!
Auf meinem YouTube Kanal habe ich es im Rahmen der C64 Spielzeit vorgestellt. Schaut doch mal vorbei:
Awesome game!
IS this the full game or just a demo version? I ordered the boxed version as well and don't want to have to start over if this is just a few levels.
I mean, I guess I'll get the digital release with my box purchase anyway, but curious if this is the full game.
Best,
J
Hi, this is the full game.
HELL YES!!!!!!!
Just want to say thanks for including the soundtrack as a bonus!
The game is great ! Excellent work :)
Many thanks, have fun!
great music can wait
