Originally released in 1986, this game melds the two fads for sports compilations and beat-'em-ups into a medieval tournament format. There are eight events in total, but when it comes down to it, the six duelling events vary only graphically, and there are no tactical differences in the gameplay. The two target shooting games are very similar to each other as well.

Backdrops and knight sprites are pretty and David Whittaker has provided some bouncy medieval electro-bops, but the gameplay is tedious. The drawn-out multiloader doesn't help either.

Gameplay is the same as the C64 version, only slightly slower and more blotchy graphics. The high-pitched warbly music will give you a headache, too.

Not actually bad, but Knight Games is too boring to be fun for very long. Three quid is all it's worth.
