A fine cheapy game... I like the way it looks and plays differently from utility-inspired adventures, its interesting writing style, and its bounce-along plot. It'll be good fun for a beginner. Read Review
Full colour graphic and text adventure.
Many months after the Knights of Camelot set forth to find the Holy Grail, a dark cloud that was flayed by many luminous bolts of blue lightning appeared over the small town of Alder.
From the cloud emerged a dark, cloaked stranger. She demanded an audience with King Arthur Pendragon, wanting to know the location of I, Great Merlin The Wizard, to absorb my power.
I was on a secret mission at the time and Arthur told her so. Believing him to be lying, the stranger revealed herself as Crania, an evil she-wizard from beyond the plains of dreams and threatened Arthur with death unless he told her of my whereabouts.
Arthur grabbed Excalibur and swung it at her in a deadly arc. She foresaw this and disappeared to avoid the blow then reappeared behind him.
Before he could act, she had cast a cowardly spell of dreams.
Now Castle Camelot is transformed into a dark evil fortress, inside whose walls are hidden Brave King Arthur and his sword Excalibur. There they will stay unless I surrender all my magical powers unto her.
I, Merlin, set you your quest...
Enter the Castle,
Find Excalibur,
Slay the she-wizard,
And rescue Good King Arthur, disposing of any evil creatures along the way.
