A free point-and-click adventure based on Knightmare, the cult ITV children's show, is in development.
The officially licensed game, complete with the original voice cast, is being made by a team led by writer and designer Ewen Watson, with show creator Tim Child giving the project his blessing. It’s due on PC next year to mark the show’s 40th anniversary. Here's a peek:
Knightmare - Official Game Reveal Trailer
For the uninitiated, Knightmare aired on ITV between 1987 and 1994 and single-handedly introduced an entire generation of kids to fantasy RPGs and computer games. Sitting with Treguard, the deeply affable Dungeon Master, three kids in ironed jeans and their best button-up shirts would direct a fourth member of their team, the Dungeoneer, through a labyrinthine hand-painted dungeon, solving riddles, casting spells, and - hopefully - avoiding traps.
