Their cover game! I'm a mere subscriber. They should have packed and sent the copies around today, and once all the subscribers have got their mags, they will set a number of copies to be sold worldwide for non-subscribers too.
Great game ! But i miss the ability to save my progression. Please consider this option in future games. Yes i know i can do a freeze and save - but its not the same. The CRT should be able to save to a Disk or save in the cartridge.
is it possible to remap jump to a button in vice emulator? using 8bitdo controller with VICE emulator. --google said to remap to north, but it's not recognizing a button press under configure but the gamepad works in game. What am I missing?
Loving the game! Just to check (as I ran into the old CRT bug) The two CRT versions now on the download dated 2025-12-15 (sherwood-ef.crt and serwood-ocean.crt) - are these the fixed versions? Thanks for the fast update!
Also, what's the difference in these two files?
Thanks and have a great holiday... I know what I'll be playing !
Thanks for the fast reply! Really is a gem of a game, takes me right back to my childhood and the kinds of games I loved back then. So cool to see the c64 scene so vibrant these days! Great time for retro gamers :)
A really cool game and a worthy successor to "Musketeer," which we already reviewed and completed back in September, see older videos. Our German-language review can be found at 00:35:11. English subtitles are also available. Subscribing to our YouTube and Twitch channels is welcome. 🙂
Okay, I had to make a map of the entire game, but I finally got the 45 coins for the ring for Marion! But when I finished, I didn't notice a different ending. Is there supposed to be a different ending?
If we ever do a 128 port - we could cram something more substantial in. As is, we had memory left only for this. Thank you for your kind words and playing!
Oak Island is better than the first Deathflood, but still horrendously frustrating at times heh. There will be a review of it AND Sherwood in the next issue of Zzap!64

Wauw! Just played the cartridge physical release. I really can´t believe how good this is. This should be concidered game of the year for sure.
Completed Musketeer and I´m really into Sherwood now!
Will we see other releases in the future?
I'm glad you are enjoying the game. Griffonsoft are definitely working on more new C64 games! :D
any chance to have a port of the game on Switch/ios? It looks fantastic, but I don’t have a pc (for now).
Great game ! But i miss the ability to save my progression. Please consider this option in future games. Yes i know i can do a freeze and save - but its not the same. The CRT should be able to save to a Disk or save in the cartridge.
Is Sherwood coming to Steam?
hi, i've tried only 3 screen. amazing job, really. thanks so much. i'll try musketeer too
Too low price, why???
You should increase this price the game is worth, how many levels does it have?
This game si awesome...!
❤👍
Over 30 screens - You are welcome to buy any of the originals :)
Thank you for your kind words!
👍
I preordered the physical edition and am looking forward to it. Does it work with a standard Atari joystick when played on original hardware?
Will there ever be proper distribution in Europe? Buying from outside the EU sucks big time. There's so much added processing cost.
Excellent game. I added it to my video among other games released in December.
After doing very little on the C64 this year, I'm now back and have of course checked out Sherwood. Really cool game – I love it!
There's also a short gameplay video on my channel:

Yes, these are the fixed files. One is in Ocean cartridge format and one is in Easyflash cartridge format.

I'll be sure to check out Musketeer after this.

Somehow i got the full ending (with the ring) and still had 1 coin left. I guess that's for all the trouble. Neat game, thanks!:)
Very nice Game, but why i can‘t Save my Progress?
An unexpected tip! We did not know this was possible :))
Well done!

You should get some serious love coming from your bride.
Okay, confirmed. She blows kisses and little hearts float up! I kept waiting for a cut scene or different dialogue. Really, really loved this game!

No worries. LOVED the game! I can't tell you how happy it makes me to be playing C64 games again after all these years.
Hey, I hope you don't mind, but I placed your awesome game into the best C64 homebrew games of 2025.
You should play Deathflood: Curse of Oak Island, one of the most enjoyable games this year.
Thank you. I will give it a shot :)

https://youtu.be/nb21WR0UPCM there is a bug on TheC64mini and I am not able to finish the game. See attached recording. It happens every time.
Try the newly updated cartridge version, should be fixed now 😄
Unfortunatelly I still got the same error with the latest crt version :(
The bug has now been fixed in the latest cartridge build. It does not affect the tape or disk versions.
