Download Arthur: The Quest for Excalibur - DOS game

Arthur: The Quest for Excalibur is a text adventure with occasional graphics, in which you, the not-yet-king, bumble your way through Camelot trying to prove you’re not just some kid with a weird haircut. The writing is witty, the puzzles devilish, and the parser only mildly homicidal. It’s part history, part fantasy, and entirely charming — if you don’t mind typing “LOOK” every five minutes. From dragons to riddles to badly explained inventory mechanics, it’s a magical mess, but one worth exploring. Just save often. This is the '80s, and failure is always an option.
