Hi guys (and gals, probably),

In the middle of a conversation with a friend, memories of a game I
used to play about 10 years ago came back to me...

I remember:
-It was an adventure game (most probably a point-and-click)
-It featured the knights of the round table as a parody (and I think
the character was one of the knights)
-It had dragons..

I'm sorry I don't remember more, but it's a really distant memory.
Does it ring a bell to anybody?

Thanks a lot-

Mat

Yes, there's gals here. And I'm one of them :)

The only thing I can think of is "Spirit of Excalibur". I think that was
the name. It was a PC game
made around 1991/92. It was on small floppies. I bought it used from
someone. It was not a very common game as I recall. It was music and
text but quite good for the times. It was about King Arthur and his
knights of the Round Table going out to fight evil and there was some
dragon type beasts they had to fight along the way. Sir Lancelot was
involved as well.You played the game a lot on a big map of England which
was also used to ask you a question to be able to get into the game.
There was also a sequel called "Vengeance of Excalibur" which I played,
which was OK too, but the first game was better. Does that sound
anything like the game you are asking about?

Il se trouve que altermativ a formulé :

Eric the unready was a parody of the knights of the round table but it
was a text adventure from Legend

Thank you all for your input-

But the game I was looking for is none of the games you mentioned. It
was a little more recent than that(I'm thinking 1994-1997), and it
looked cartoonish, kind of like Sam&Max or DOTTentacle.

I'm starting to give up :)

I think I know exactly what game you were talking about, and I've been wracking me brain about it too.

If we're thinking of the same game, it was a point-and-click game like Monkey Island, had cartoony graphics, and the knights all had different powers you had to use to solve the puzzles. I remember one of the knights could turn into a tornado.

I really hope there's some development on if you can find it, because my brother and I have been obsessing about it for a couple of weeks now.

This thread is so old it hardly matters anymore, but I bet he was talking about Blazing Dragons.

Yes! Thanks for following up; my girlfriend has been trying to find this game for ages and your thread made this an easy YouTube search to confirm.
