I knew that this bad ending existed, but I never could bring myself to act the scoundrel when playing this game, so I never saw it until now. I much prefer the happy ending. :)
You know, you CAN get this ending by being kind to everyone and save everyone and just failing to make any money.
It must be a glitch or something, but it's quite typical of that dickhead Richard to ignore ALL of the people's good words and also Marians pleas to trust robin and hang him anyhow.
In true history, King Richard WAS a bastard, he TOLD his brother to tax the people while he went out killing jews and muslims.
this king wasnt as royal as stories made him out to be.
Richard does not appear even once in the Bible and so we must be careful of the person who bears this as his name in real life as I have also come to understand from an elder that almost all such people are actually immoral, untrustworthy and are womanizers.
For safety's sake a Jihad (holy war) must therefore be waged against them until they are tired, they come crawling to us naked, crying and begging for mercy like dogs, or they die before us.
Hahaha this is so stupid. King Richard hanging the loyal and on the other hand doing nothing to the Abbot, the Prince and their lackeys that are self-serving, more corrupt and totally treasonous, keeping them by his side!
I love these VGA games by Sierra but have never played this. It seems as hard and great as the Kings Quest games. Is it any legal way to still get this?
Not that I know of. I only have it because I had it years ago and used an older computer to convert it to CD. I do know that's its a available as abandonware but I don't think that's what you meant.
Yes, that's a terribly played game there! I can't believe that King Richard pardoned your men for 300 gold marks or that you finished the game with only 980 points! I always know I'm doomed & restore a saved game if I miss or lose the archery contest or choose a bad plan to get the treasure chest. I know I won't have enough ransom at the finish. I also restore whenever Maid Marian dies.
There are six possible endings for this game depending on ransom raised, number of outlaws who are on your side, and score. Most games have one or two bad endings but a quest with 7325 possible points! deserves more.
Well, generaly it was accepted that if someone owned some land, they also owned the animals on it, and therefore killing said animals was considerd as stealing, in a sence. (At least, that's what I think.)
It actualy it still in effect to this day: Some farmers in england have been known to charge hunters to shoot on their land, and killing animals on the Queen's land is considered ileagal.
Moral of the story?
If Marian dies, so do you.
THE END.

@rabidrabbitshuggers Watch the video "Ending Variations: Conquests of the Longbow" and you might see a different moral to the story.

Maybe King Richard is the reason why the word "dick" is used as an insult...

So the capitalist intent factors in too I see.

Killing the king's dear? That BASTARD!

That's in a lot of Robin Hood adaptations. It would be interesting to know how this stuff worked - a pity that I don't know where to start looking.
