"King Arthur & the Knights of Justice" is an action-adventure video game developed by Manley & Associates and published by Enix for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) in 1994. Based on the animated television series of the same name, the game follows the modern-day football team, the Knights, who are transported to the medieval kingdom of Camelot to take the place of King Arthur and his knights, who have been captured by the evil sorceress Morgana and her minions. Players assume the role of Arthur King, the team's quarterback, as they embark on a quest to rescue the true King Arthur and return to their own time. The game involves exploration, puzzle-solving, and combat as players interact with various characters, find and utilize items, and battle Morgana's forces across the mythical landscape.
The game's design incorporates a top-down perspective similar to other SNES action-adventure titles of the era, such as "The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past." "King Arthur & the Knights of Justice" features a unique team mechanic where players can manage a group of knights, each equipped with distinct weapons and armor that can be upgraded throughout the adventure. Despite its innovative aspects and connection to a popular TV series, the game received mixed reviews upon release. Critics praised its graphics and unique thematic elements but criticized its repetitive gameplay and confusing objectives. Nonetheless, it holds a place in the annals of classic gaming as a distinctive adaptation of a television story to a video game format, offering fans of the genre an engaging blend of strategy, action, and lore.
