Can you complete the quest for the Holy Grail? That's the question being asked in Level 9's latest release, Lancelot, available through Mandarin.

You play the leading knight of King Arthur's Round Table, Lancelot, whose ultimate goal is to retrieve the Holy Grail. The game is played in three parts; Camelot, Logris and The Quest for the Holy Grail. I managed to complete the first part with difficulty but didn't do particularly well on the other two.

Lancelot has a medieval atmosphere which is enhanced by being written in 'ye Olde English' - which you'll either find fun or intensely annoying. Either way it's easy enough to understand. The instruction booklet describes the game well and includes a shortened version of Sir Thomas Malory's 'Morte d'Arthur'. I suggest you read the instrutions carefully, even if you're a regular Level 9 fan.

Lancelot has some good features, including an undo command which retraces your last instruction. When you run the game, you get a choice of where to start, but first-timers should begin with the Camelot section.

I like this game purely for the text. The graphics are reasonable but should have been better. The colouring of the graphics isn't very good, but the BBC's limitations are to blame.

Lancelot is to the usual high standard of Level 9.
