In this video, Lancelot, released in 1988 for the Atari ST by Mandarin Software.
This adventure recreates the tales of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, as related in Sir Thomas Malory's Le Morte D'Arthur.
The game starts with a different scene of the meeting between Arthur and Lancelot than the one in Malory's tale. It also gives Lancelot a few adventures that Malory ascribed to other heroes of the Round Table. Other than this, the adventure is reasonably faithful to Le Morte D'Arthur.
Parts 1, Camelot: Recreates Lancelot's arrival at Camelot and his rise to become the best knight in the world.
Part 2, Logris: Involves the completion of the company of Knights of the Round Table.
Part 3 The Quest for the Holy Grail: The highest achievement in chivalry, in which the best knights come near to God. However, it leads to the demise of the company of the Round Table.
With some nice static images and a lot of text to read, Lancelot is an old-style adventure where you have to type commands on the keyboard to interact with the environment and with other characters.
Here you'll find a piece of the first act.
All footage taken from original hardware machines and upscaled to 1080P.
Let me know what do you think about the video in the comments below but, most important, Enjoy!!!
If you liked the video, please consider giving a thumbs up and maybe also subscribe.
