Video games with archers/ bow and arrows?
http://ofadam.com/macroidtoe/archives/22
these are the ones I know of so far.
and Shining Soul II for gba which probably doesn't count as retro at all.
These are all I know of, add any you know of.
Mainly looking for beat'em up or platforming games, though all are welcome. any game where I can shoot enemies with arrows...
Track and Field (C64)
Dragonfire (VCS)
DragonStomper (VCS)
most of the Gold boxes (Apple ][, C64)

There's like a million of them. Final Fantasy 2, 3, 4, 5, Tactics, Tactics Ogre, Ogre Battle, Fire Emblem, etc.
In before the lock. Because this thread is just like the "Video games with bananas," "Video games with Frogs," etc threads.
Everything in the above post is opinion unless stated otherwise.
Yeah, tons of these. All Gauntlet games. Avenger games. Lord of the Ring games.... I could keep going, there are so many, maybe it needs it's own sub-genre in fantasy games.Originally Posted by kupomogli
An archetype in RPG games is the Ranger/Archer class. Almost any RPG with classical genre ties fits the description.
Kira and Diego from Vandal-Hearts were badass. Amon and Darius were cool but had less charm.

I'm a collector, but only to a certain extent.
Not as extreme as Rickstilwell though.[/quote]
^_^. Vandal Hearts is awesome. I actually change Kira and Darius into Hawk Knights though.

The Exidy arcade game Crossbow has been left out thus far. It also saw a few home ports.

Robin Hood (2600, ColecoVision, C64, VIC-20)
A pair for Intellivision:
Advanced Dungeons and Dragons (funny that I thought of this one first...even before Thief or Gauntlet)
Sharp Shot
Also, not intellivision, but Pooyan
what about Tempest from Lunar? And Fuu from MKR
The guy from Forbidden Forest on Commodore 64!
Angelo from DQ8

No love for Pooyan? Shame.

I haven't looked at any of the lists, but here are some that might not have been mentioned yet-

Armed & Dangerous used the bow/arrow as the long range sniper weapon -it was supposed to be funny.
Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance has a selectable character Vahn, the Arcane Archer
