+==== Forbidden Forest ====
+The original game was released in 1983 on both the [[hardware:Commodore 64]], and Atari 8-bit computers. You are an archer, restricted to the bottom of the screen, and tasked with hunting monsters. As the game progresses the time changes from day to night.

+==== Beyond the Forbidden Forest ====
+The sequel was released in 1985, this time only on the C64. It added multiple locations, and the abilities to walk 'into' the map---scaling the sprite as players did so. It sounds amazing, and mechanically and visually it is beautiful and clunky in a particularly videogamey way.

+==== Forbidden Forest ====
+The 2003 iteration was released for PC, this time in full 3-D. The game is played from a third-person perspective, but hanged to first-person when aiming and firing the game's only weapon; the bow. It seems to be missing all the the terrific graphics and music of its predecessors; it's about as charming as a homebrew [[hardware:n64|N64]] game.
