| Notes: | [1] LANCELOT recreates the tales of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. It is based on Sir Thomas Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur, a reinterpreted compilation of French and English Arthurian legends that were first published in 1485 by William Caxton.
[2] Concept & game design by Pete Austin; story and game text by Christina Erskine and Pete McBride. KAOS adventure system by Mike & Nick Austin, John Jones-Steele and Mike Bryant; multiformat computer conversions by Nick Austin and Mike Bryant. Graphics by Joan Lamb, Neil Scrimgeour, Dicken Peeke and Nusareth Jahan.
[3] The U.S. version by Datasoft was released several months after the UK release in April/May 1989.
[4] The game manual contains hints for each of the 3 game parts: Camelot, Logris and The Quest for the Holy Grail; a novella retelling the Arthurian legends; and an advert inviting customers to send a SSAE for the "Official Secrets" clue sheet to the game.
[5] The Amiga release of LANCELOT features the following enhancements (particularly compared to the 8-bit versions):
- Colour pictures (use the mouse, with its left button pressed, to slide pictures up and down).
- Picture cache to reduce unnecessary disk loading.
- Recall and editing of previous commands via the cursor and backspace keys.
- Undo command to reverse the previous move.
- Save/Restore game to disk.
- RAM save/restore game in memory.
- An enhanced adventure interpreter which can be used with KNIGHT ORC, GNOME RANGER and TIME AND MAGIK. Copy the relevant game to a new disk and replace the 'MENU', 'GAME1' and 'PICPROC' files with those from the original LANCELOT disk. |
