The name of this program conjures up all sorts of pictures in the mind's eye, particularly those to do with the notorious Monty Python Comic team.

Unfortunately, it's nowhere near as entertaining. This is an adventure game with both text and graphics. The graphics consist of a square containing blocks within it which is supposed to represent a castle in which the Holy Grail has been hidden. You control a little man who is in search of the grail and you have to manoeuvre him around the castle.

Directly underneath the grid is some data telling you what floor level of the castle your man is on, what number move you're on, and whose turn it is. Unfortunately, the text is very difficult to read and is therefore very taxing on the eyes of looking at it for a long time.

Graphically the game is very uninspiring, the user-defined characters are so small that it is difficult to see exactly what they are. Most of the action takes place within the blue grid and you soon get tired of staring at it.

But despite that I am sure there are many adventure lovers who will find this game an interesting challenge and fun to play.
