The Misadventure of the Holy Grail

Author:Michael Detlefsen
Genres:Adaptation>Screen
Fantasy>Arthurian
Humor>Satire
Released:1989
Review:

A loose adaptation of an Eamon module based on a Monty Python film based on Arthurian legend. Extremely silly in a way that falls flat more often than not. (Imagine taking old Monty Python routines and changing all the details in ways that make them less funny...) The only thing that saves this game is a couple of good, not-too-difficult puzzle sequences. Contains randomized combat (albeit not as much as the Eamon module on which it's based).

Rating: ***
