Yep - kudos for the answerers who remember "The Adventure Game". Had the fun of the Hitch-Hikers guide and the cheapness of...well, of BBC fake game-shows throughout history, really.\n\nThere was usually a game to collect "Drogna" - the perspex currency of the aliens who ran the game. Yes, the "bad guy" was Uncle - and for some reason that was never revealed, he was a growling, gurgling aspidistra. \n\nCheck out the link below for extra little reminiscences.

King John was definitely robbed, but not of his gold. He was not a popular king, but a most effective one, for he signed the document that was the basis of what is England's Parliament today, the Magna Carta. The hefty taxes levied upon the poor peasants of England were done so to pay the ransom for Richard, the Lionhearted, the absent hero of the Robin Hood saga. King Richard, on the other hand, despised England, and even after he was released from imprisonment, spent the remainder of his days in France...There is no factual basis for the stories of Robin Hood. However, Prince John did become king and ruled from April 6, 1199 until his death in 1216. He was largely unpopular due to losing coveted properties to France and for his excommunication from the Roman Catholic Church. That's why there have been very few royals since named John...The story of Robin Hood has no true merit in history. There are varying stories during that time when Anglo-Saxons and Normans still held prejudices against one another, some of them not so noble or heroic. It is widely believed that "Robin Hood" is a play on words evolving from the tales of an unsavory Robbing Hood or Thief. Despite Prince John's contributions - he is accredited with founding the Modern Royal Navy, he was considered unpopular among his contemporaries. Sad is the fact that while Robin Hood will always be fondly remembered as a wiley heroic fox, Prince John will go down in modern history as a thumb-sucking lion cub a la Disney. Hope this helped.

Busting up little guys on his way to amass  his fortune. Read economic history.   The sons felt guilty and paid society, as best as they could, to help clear the old bastards name,a dreadful  robber baron.

hmmm.  the most money hungry people i've observed are all morbidly obese, middle aged , bald, psychopathic white republican "christian" males.  the most obvious among them being: jerry falwell( a total disgrace, also, to the leo sun sign, since he's an abject coward), dennis hastert, rush limpbow, and dick cheney, to name just the very tip of the iceberg.
