Death sequences for instance don't simply give you the classic Sierra "You screwed up, you idiot. What it lacks in raw puzzles though, it makes up for with its style and storytelling. it's ridiculous, and really gets tiring by the end. Shields, hand-codes, the meanings of gems. It's a relatively simple adventure in many ways, not very long or difficult, and with half the puzzles consisting of wandering onto Watling Street and waiting for a convenient person to wander down it with something you need, and the other half consisting mostly of looking in the manual for copy-protection questions.
and, it's been suggested, to perhaps draw attention away from talk of the Merry Men being just a little too Merry. Another is that in these early days, Maid Marian was nowhere to be seen-she entered the story through a side entrance, first as another character played during festivals, and then as a way of making the rough outlaw more of a Gentleman. Among the most obvious changes is that originally he didn't wear green, but red. The version of the story we all know now has little in common with earlier versions, where he's been everything from a yeoman to a nickname, to an early marketing campaign. Like all the best myths, the origins of Robin Hood are largely lost in time. This trend only goes back to the 1980s though, and specifically a character called Nasir in Robin of Sherwood. The most famous of them is Morgan Freeman's Azeem from Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, with the BBC going for a twofer by making it a woman called Djaq. In the case of Robin Hood for instance, it's now expected that the Merry Men-though that term is increasingly sidelined for obvious reasons-will contain a Saracen member. The legends are still being written today.
Personally, I always felt a little sorry for Morganna le Fay, who started off as an ally but eventually morphed into one of the villains, probably because her name is much, much cooler than that of her sister Morgeuse, which sounds like something a hungry man would shout at a duck-themed banquet.
In the Arthurian stories, specific retellings like Mallory fixed our view of the story, but elements like Guinevere's affair with Lancelot, or even Lancelot's existence-in earlier versions, Gawain was firmly The Man-were late additions to the story. Neither have a 'true' version, and changed radically over the years. The beauty of both legends is that they're endlessly malleable.
