I like the game, condemned the pixie, but now I have a REALLY BIG problem and loathe the idea of having to start all over again. I'm supposed to be saving marian from the burninators, but as it appears I've forgotten to make a plan with my comrades, and am already inside st Mary in my oldest savegame.... (if i go to the fireplace, they kill me, if I don't i'll be spotted and the killed, the pub entrance is closed) in other words, whatever I do, I'll DIE (and so will marian, but who bothers?). anyone got me a savegame just before when i'm s'posed to ask the merry men for advice? PLZ

First off, does anyone know how to fix it so I can save my game? When I try, the game just shuts off. Second, who remembers the prequel to this, Conquests of Camelot? That was a good game. Who's got it?

I am so happy I found this game. I played this for hours when I was a kid. My parents would have to drag me away. I remember the game came on like five or six floppies.

My thanks to the people who made this game available again.

"right after i capture the pixie and robin follows him to the top of the screen.. it freezes.. robin still moves his head around but it wont change screens to go to the tree mans part. it just locks up with the hand wait icon and doesnt change.."


This has just happened to me too! If anyone can help me with this i'll be you're new best friend!

I read something about sending saved game files to fix it?
Thanks in advance!

I hate the pixie. With all of my being, I despise it. The pixie has caused me to miss work, I hear that stupid little pixie melody in my dreams at night. I've noticed other people complaining about it, but I never thought it would be this disturbing, this horrific. My dear God, someone has to help me...

Side note, Tom, you rock.

I'm alreasy using the dos box but that stupid pixie stills freezes the game. I've tried anything i can think of to fix it - including pounding on mouse when they start walking towards the tree screen - but nothing! evil pixie must die! :ranting:

[claire]

Woo hoo! it unfroze!!
I decided i'd try a few more things to see if i could foil that evil pixie so i went 3/4 of the way across the screen on the right hand side and half way down, i put on the cold ring and when the pixie appeared i threw the net down in front of myself and it worked! all this might have nothing to do with anything but that's what worked for me!
Good luck folks! k:

I downloaded this game yesterday and spent a couple of hours playing it last night; it's a lot of fun. I'm enjoying it so far, the only problem is that when I get to the scene where Marian is being attacked by the monk, I shoot him with my bow and as he falls down I get booted out of the game. Every time. It's seriously ticking me off, because I'd like to keep playing. Has anyone experienced this before or have any idea how to fix it?

The exact same thing happened to me when I shoot the monk attacking Marian... so it's not just a random problem, I guess. Very odd!

Thanks to reading everything in this thread, I downloaded Dosbox. Praise be! This works excellently and has fixed all my glitches. Thanks to everyone who offered advice in this thread.

For those that experience the game "freezing" at the screen where you save Marion from the Monk, or have trouble capturing the pixie, I have sent Tom Henrik two saved game files (Monk is dead, pixie is caught )

Firstly if you have problems with freezing try DosBox, if that doesn't work PM Tom Henrik nicely for one of the following files:

1. Kill Monk to save Marion
2. Captured Pixie

Captured Pixie Notes:
The Coat-of-Arms is Kings of Ireland, but this could change. The pixie will lead you to the "Greenman". If you get stuck on the riddles, here is a link to the solutions.

Save game file Instructions:
* I sugguest you installed the game again (eg. \Robin2) unless you want to delete all your previous LONGBOWS.0??/LONGBOWS.DIR files.
* You will recieve two files, the saved game and the saved game directory file. Place them in the main directory. When you go to load the game it will show two files listed in the Restore box but only the saved game file you got off Tom will work.
(Just delete the one with the "interpreter" error - If you got both saved games they both will work).

Files: LONGBOWS.004 (Marion) and/or LONGBOWS.013 (Pixie captured) with LONGBOWS.DIR.

Also another note about playing the board game:
Click your hand on the points where two (or more) lines met each other to place a piece. Stop him from getting three in a row as you try to do the same.
Once all pieces have been placed, move your pieces around (you cannot skip a "square") to form three in a row, then you can remove a white piece. Continue till there are less then 3 white pieces left.

Lastly a Gemstone riddle not in documents:
I must ride upon a firey horse, through valleys filled with adders and seek the fate that awaits me. What should I take?
1. Turqoise
2. Blue with white mark
3. Black
