The briefing

About this game

Lancelot is a three-part interactive fiction adventure spanning the saga of the legendary knight, from the founding of the Order of the Round Table to the quest for the Holy Grail.

Explore Camelot and the surrounding countryside, battle wayward knights, and pursue the love of Guinever and Elaine. The game rewards careful decisions: achieving the highest score requires killing combat foes only when essential for survival. You can also issue instructions to other knights and use GO TO to return automatically to places you have already visited.

Developed by Level 9 Computing and released in 1987, Lancelot appeared on a wide range of home computers, including Amiga, Amstrad CPC, Atari 8-bit, Atari ST, BBC Microcomputer System, Commodore 64/128/MAX, DOS, Mac, MSX, and ZX Spectrum.
