Games featuring medieval legends
Following the previous thread about Ancient Mythology, I am now trying to catalog all games featuring Medieval Legends.
Help is obviously requested finding more games!

Half of what was in the other thread....apparently :roll: :p
Wiking
Sorry if this sounds pedantic, but wasn't it based on Umberto Eco's The Name of the Rose, written in 1980?

yeah it is, but i think he wrote it based on a medivel ledgend, or something like that.
The lords of midnight ?
This is debatable as this game set in a fantasy world and not in a specific real world time period (i.e. medieval) therefore in my opinion should not be included, but its up to Martijn.
Less tenuous (maybe)examples
Knights Quest
Saga of Erik the Viking, The
Viking Quest 1: Holmgard
Viking Quest 2: Heart of Town
Viking Quest 3
Viking Raiders
Vikings
Vikings
Vikings, The
Sir Lancelot
Lancelot
Quest for the Holy Grail, The
Black Knight Adventure
Killer Knight
Knight Fall
Knight Fight
Knight Force
Ahhh! That's the one. I must be thinking of another (very similar) game then because I remember it having old Norse gods in it. I still don't remember the name of the game though ... :grin:
Indeed, fantasy is just that, not a legend. :-)
With the exception of Knight Fall (as that's a clone of Rock 'n' Roll), I added all of the above. Thank you!
Not sure if it's based on a proper legend (haha), but I added it nonetheless.
Ahhh ... actually I wasn't even thinking of it from that proper point of view! I was just thinking of Brian Bloodaxe (viking), knights, the holy grail, the hand of God, Loch Ness monster, Hell and medieval rooms etc ... maybe it shouldn't be counted in then :grin:
Maybe it should labeled as "Influenced by Medieval Legneds" ... ;-P
Could you count Knight Lore as it was set in a castle and a couple of the Magic Night games as well.
All of these have been added.
Valhalla
Rasputin (?)

rasputin was a real chap.
i don't really think you with find a lot of medievel legends that don't have some basis in reality. i'd suggest you roll it in with a medievel theme.
And Rasputin wasn't mediaeval: he died in 1916.
I think we are in danger of changing this category from "games with Medieval Legends" to "games with Medieval Setting". The problem with both mediaeval legend and ancient myth categories is that without doing a bit of research it's easy to add any old bit of fantasy to the list.
Yeah, that's the problem I have with the Arthurian setting, the Legends are Ancient but the setting Medieval. Now we need a new tag for 'games set in the XXX period"

Here are some non British mediaval legends:
Smok Wawelski (Polish legend)

El Cid (based on Spanish legendary hero)
http://www.worldofspectrum.org/infoseekid.cgi?id=0000963
Vityaz Svyatogor & Koldun Karachun (Russian legend)
http://www.worldofspectrum.org/infoseekid.cgi?id=0013116
Ivan Tsarevich (another Russian legend)

Added now!
With the exception of El Cid (who was an actual person - our queen descends from him!), all of these have been added.
ZX Beccy is a descendant of El Cid???
....Or did he? :D
Hundra
Camelot Warriors
And surely these other two Camelots will fit:

I know Rasputin was real and died in the early 1900's, however the game is set very much in the medieval period. I listed it because there seem to be other games in this category that are set in the "Medival Setting" as you say. "Medieval theme" might be a better term though?
