Notes
-----
*1 This is in numerical order as to how the game was coded and doesn't necessarily follow the map. You'll get to see all the screens whatever. 
*2 This is the final room!
*3 Also stores your screen position.
*4 Tap this to keep changing characters.

--==> NOT TO BE UPLOADED TO CSDB.DK  FOR HACKERSOFT USE ONLY <==--

Remember - the original game is always there and you don't have to press anything if you don't want any of the features - which is a little different than the usual trainers that only give you options before it decrunches and then you are stuck with your decisions. More accessibility for the player and much more fun overall :)


The story
---------
Robin Hood and his merry men are confronted with their biggest challenge to date!

The evil Cult of Sagalia has taken control of Sherwood Forest instilling fear into the hearts of the forest dwellers. They are relying on you as Friar Tuck, Robin and the rest of the band to rid the forest of this evil force and then get back to normal pursuits like robbing the rich to give to the poor!

In the meantime, Robin and his men battle valiantly on, but the odds are definitely stacked against them. Werewolves roam the forest day and night watching and waiting for any likely looking prey (actually they're not particulary fussy!). Hideous animated skeletons appear when they're least expected and should you be unfortunate enough to come across one of the Priests of Sagalia, well, your days are numbered!

Already one attempt to rid the forst of the Cult has failed. You had arranged to meet the Bishop of Derby to try to carry out an exorcism. When he failed to arrive on time and you set out to look for him and at the edge of the forest you find his body, he had been slain by a black arrow. But on his body you notice a piece of blood stained parchment bearing the following rhyme, could this possibly be the answer?

For fire protection you must amass
Werewolves fangs and a Scrying glass
Then travel through the misty wood
To take the to the Witch of Good

From the man of solitary means
A parchment guide is what you need
Without it you may go astray
And in the forest lose your way

To buy the means to safety walk
A firey monster you must stalk
He holds the price with precious metal
Convey to the hermit without much fettle

A silver cross must be found
Before you feel safe and sound
On the pentagon it must be dropped
And the portal of evil will be stopped

Clutching the parchment you hurry back to the camp to find Robin and his men surrounded and fighting for their lives. You are their only chance, you must follow the clues and destroy the source of evil before it claims its final victory.

Gameplay
--------
The solution lies in the rhyme. To pick up an object walk over it.
