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).
