Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves is a video game released in 1991 for the Nintendo Entertainment System and Game Boy developed by Sculptured Software, Inc. and Bits Studios, respectively, and published by Virgin Games. Versions for Master System and Game Gear were also announced but cancelled. It was based on the film of the same name.

The game was featured as the cover game for the July 1991 issue of Nintendo Power magazine, but this issue was notorious for the fact that the game was not released until 4 months after the issue was released.

What the critics said

  • Power Unlimited gave the Game Boy version a score of 83% commenting: "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves is, of course, based on the movie, but not as bad as many other such games. On the contrary: it is very exciting and adventurous! It is a pity that the figures in the game do not look very nice".
