As a knight of the Round Table, you have to explore a five-layer maze in search of the Holy Grail. In your wanderings you come across monsters, shields, swords, stairways and the like - and also gold and jewels that you can exchange for strength points and wound healer. Ten wounds, and you're a goner!
Each layer of the maze is shown as a 10 x 10 grid, and as you move about the screen display shows what items and monsters you have encountered.
The game is well presented in both packaging and program quality. I particularly liked the special typeface that was used for the on-screen instructions.
It loaded first time, even on the fast speed, and then auto-ran.
All this icing is all very well, but the game itself is more a matter of luck than skill. I found it boring after a while.
