A very quick entry thanks to Peter Weighill for a game that was advertised by American Eagle in 1984 on the disk cover for Kukulcan on the Apple. Sherwood Forest was released on the Apple 2, but the Commodore 64 edition of the game seems to be completely at large.
The game was likely a graphic adventure game which was likely being converted from the Apple version. American Eagle were employing external Commodore 64 developers to convert a number of their games.
Thanks to Anonymous Contributor, we learn from Computer Games Vol 3 (see scans) that Zooom were behind the development and had the following to say about the game:
“As Robin Hood, you win the heart and hand of Maid Marion. But she won’t give you a second look until you’ve solved the eminently fair and logical puzzles that make this cartoony graphic adventure as much fun to figure out as it is to view. Spot animation and fast, fast disk access enhance the fun. (The C-64 version loads the next picture in three seconds!)
Zooom Software, for Apple and C-64”
Did anything ever manage to see the light of day? Much more info needed!
