Knightmare is based on the CITV TV show of the same name, where a group of 4 children attempt to complete a quest.

[1] But unlike Captive where parts of the level were computer generated, all the dungeons in the game were designed by hand.

The player is required to complete four quests in order to gain the knowledge and ability to beat Lord Fear, the antagonist in the game.

The high quality sound requires 1MB of memory to work at its full settings, and the review said it is worth the upgrade.
