About this game

Knight Games is a medieval-themed collection of eight self-contained events. Two are shooting challenges: Crossbow requires aiming at rotating targets, while Archery tests timing against targets moving from left to right.

The remaining six events are one-on-one combat contests. Sword battles and weapon-based events involving a quarterstaff, ball and chain, axe, and pike require well-timed attacks and shields. Most battles use a format in which 10 hits defeat an opponent, with 10 victories needed to win overall.

All events support two human players. The game was released in 1985 for Amstrad CPC, Commodore 64, Commodore C64/128/MAX, DOS, and MS-DOS.
