Knightmare VR? I don't like the concept!
-
I think it's correct that the Knightmare audience would now be in their twenties. I asked a 19 yr old today whether he remembered KM and he said he had never heard of it.
Knightmare is needed. Too many kids are growing up without it.
-
Indeed, it does seem to be a case of kids not knowing what they're missing.
I'm not sure about the age ranges. Our population here is surprisingly young, with a lot of people still under 20. I guess it depends on people's memories and such.

You're probably right GG. I also think that it's a certain type of person that likes KM (fanatically, I mean). It's essentially a fantasy show, and arguably the most fantastical show ever made. In fact, it's a small wonder why there isn't a Knightmare section in the local 'Forbidden Planet'.

Well what Skarkill, Motley, Snowwie team would be complete with out a Lord Bob? I would love to be on VR if and when it screens.
I can just imagine snerk
Treguard: Your names please
Dungeoneer: Emilia
Number One: Tom
Number Two Glenn
Number Three: Lord Bob
That'll be cool! Nickname ourselves... Skarkill walks in pretending to be the "Masked Marvel"
He dies in a bad way only three minutes into the quest due to poor guiding
RMR: I can see the "Masked" but what about the "Marvel"
-
The only reason that forbidden planet don't have a KM section is because there is hardly anything to sell! I can't think of anything other than the books (now LOOOOOONG out of print).
To that end, anyone know of somewhere that I might be able to track down 'Fortress of Assasins'? It's the only one of the 7 that I, so far, haven't been able to get. Got a .PDF of it a while back but that just ain't the same...
Preferably somewhere outside of the net, I've been burnt too many times by rogue traders to trust it that far. :-[

Were there seven books? I thought there were only six!
I thought I had them all.
I've seen Fortress of Assassins a couple of times at car boot sales. Other than that I wouldn't know where to look Snowcat.
I do have in my KM memorabilia a T-shirt with KM castle on it. Unfortunately I am now too big to wear it.

To Moana: Emilia is presumably Snowwiewolf.
To Wills Of Doom: There were indeed 7 KM books - 4 novellas and 3 kids' storybooks.
They were...
Knightmare (Can You Beat The Challenge?)
The Labyrinths Of Fear
Fortress Of Assassins
The Sorcerer's Isle
The Forbidden Gate
The Dragon's Lair
Lord Fear's Domain

Apart from checking amazon.co.uk and ebay.co.uk regularly for Knightmare books on sale, there are also quite a few listed on http://www.abebooks.co.uk/.
Indeed, Lord Fear's Domain (the last book) is the most difficult of the Knightmare books to find. Not sure why, perhaps it had a smaller print run, or was never re-printed as Knightmare finished. Or perhaps because it wasn't advertised on CITV, not many people bought it!
If you were a member of the Knightmare Adventurer's Club, you would have heard about it. ;D
-
It is 'Lord Fear's Domain' I don't have. Drat! and double drat! Oh well, the hunt for the missing KM book begins.
I was foolish enough not to join the adventurer's club.
-
To be brutally honest, Wills, if I were you I'd only go out of my way to get Lord Fear's Domain if I were a completist. It's quite an infantile book really, with an over-dependence on those irritating arithmetical puzzles that Dave Morris was always so enamoured with. It's also a very different type of book to all the others, as it's really just a puzzle book disguised as a novella.
-
I have them all except Labyrinths and Lord Fear's Domain. I have the boardgame as well. I always used to look for them when they were advertised at the end of the prog. I used to probably buy one book each year when i went on holiday - W.H. Smith's manchester Airport always had a fine selection. Why did you need to know this?
