ATMcashpointNever played it myself, but I'm fascinated by how Level 9's game Lancelot depicts the Holy Grail as a silver chalice on the box art, and silver with a gilt inner bowl on the Atari ST & Amiga title screens, but as a gold chalice in the DOS port.
Mr CreosoteI enjoyed this one much more. Similar time travel theme, no graphics (in this version at least), but clearly superior game design.

Vivienne DunstanI'm currently playing #Level9 #interactiveFiction #textAdventure game Knight Orc from 1987. Which feels almost like a #MUD with many autonomous NPCs running around, fighting and grabbing treasure! And has some very unusual command shortcuts, as shown in the image of part of the manual. A very intriguing game. Which can get into unwinnable states, like Melbourne House's The Hobbit. But I am very much enjoying it. Will write up more thoughts after. #80sGames #ComputerGames #RetroGaming #British
Stewart RussellSomeone's ported the Level 9 text adventure engine + game data for the BBC Micro to Python. While I was mince at these, I know many people were fond of them.
