Conquests of the Longbow: The Legend of Robin Hood
Conquests of the Longbow: The Legend of Robin Hood is the second and final game in the Conquests series from Christy Marx. It was released by Sierra On-Line in 1991 for MS-DOS, with Amiga and Mac versions following a year later. This game features beautiful VGA graphics and hand-painted backgrounds. Longbow uses a point-and-click interface, without the text parser that was used in earlier Sierra titles.
I recently bought a boxed copy of the game, so we start by looking that over, as well as its contents. Throughout my playthrough I share some issues of Sierra/Dynamix News Magazine and InterAction magazine with articles discussing the development of the game.

Part 1
Tonight for DOSember I’m starting my first playthrough of Conquests of the Longbow: The Legend of Robin Hood! I played Conquests of Camelot last DOSember and it was fantastic. Both games were written and designed by Christy Marx.
Part 2
Continuing Conquests of the Longbow: The Legend of Robin Hood for DOSember! I assume at some point I’ll just play Nine Men’s Morris for an entire stream. This could be that stream!
Part 3
OK normally I do this stuff before stream, but let’s look through my pile of Sierra magazines for articles about Conquests of the Longbow? Then we’ll explore a wine cellar?
Part 4
Congratulations! You’ve won a trip to Sherwood Forest! Continuing Conquests of the Longbow for DOSember~
