Prince John- Grant Albrecht

In this game you get to sword fight, archery, siege, joust and generally wage war on Prince John. The GBA version plays like a modified game of risk, in which the player must seize territory from neighboring barons. Robin Hood is only a background character, occasionally providing the player with resources or soldiers and when the game is won giving the crown to its rightful owner, the player.
