Hugely unfunny text 'n graphics adventure that wants desperately to be zany. "It's 932 AD (After Dinner)", proclaims the manual. "And Arthur, King of the Britons, is looking for his Knights. No, there hasn't been a burglary of the Royal Chess Set..." Splutter.

It's your misfortune to play one of these missing knights, the not-so-amusingly named Sir Tappin the Basic. Your task is to track down the Holy Grail, a quest inherited no doubt from Sir Python of Olde. Author Chris Newcombe is clearly a fan as there's a gamut of swipes on offer, from carnivorous white rabbits to the Knights Who Say Nic (and other similar oaths).

While the quest is quite playable, you'll need a strong stomach to suffer such witty retorts as "Take what? Berk!!!" and "A French guard unclogs his nose in your direction. You die a horrible green death!" Laugh? I didn't start.
