<![CDATA[Knightmare references in games]]>I noticed once when playing Eye of the Beholder 2 (good game by the way - I played it on an Amiga but was able to download a copy of the PC version) that Dran (the main enemy) at one point, says "Stay a while...Stay forever". This looks very like Mogdred's "Play a while...play forever" in series 2. Is one of them likely to be taken from the other, or is it coincidence? (And yes, I did see SkipTheDreadnaught's Stay a while...Stay FOREVER in another thread).

The game Terraria has a floating oversized skull with huge limbs. Called a skeletron.

I've been playing the original Tomb Raider recently (v good version on the App Store) and the game is very Knightmarish at times! Put Lara in 'walk' mode and she moves just like a dungeoneer - she even side-steps!

I flipping loved Tomb Raider! The floor spikes were very Knightmare-esque. Come to think of it, I think the levers puzzle on the Midas level might have inspired a room in my Knightmare fanfic, though I forget whether it was deliberate or not.

Put Lara in 'walk' mode and she moves just like a dungeoneer - she even side-steps!

The St Francis Folly level where Lara has to descend a tower negotiating trap rooms is possibly the best realisation of what KM would be like in 'real life' (if you see what I mean!).

Given the genre it's not unreasonable KM influenced TR's designers in some way - TR was a bit of a game changer in '96 so I like think KM played its part in the evolution of gaming as we know it

Incidentally, I have similar issues with TR in that the early, claustrophobic, underground locations of the first game were replaced by less atmospheric locales in later years (such as having Lara run round the Great Wall of China).

This.

Was it making a gesture towards the opening scene of Series 3 Episode 6, seeing as that particular item was one of the objects in the clue room?

Okay. There's a level in Super Mario Galaxy which is kinda Knightmaresque, if not inspired by the actual show itself (but I don't think it is).

The level is the navigation of a galaxy with shifting, disappearing and reappearing terrain. The choice of paths reminds me of the Stained Glass Window room. The holes that you can fall down are reminiscent of... well, if you actually want me to finish this sentence, you haven't watches Knightmare.

Also, during the intro sequence to the game, fireballs rain down on the Mushroom Kingdom. Bowser also spits them at you. They're fireballs, rather than just fire.

Not to mention an American comic book wherein the hero is called Knightmare. I think there was a character called Knightmare in Soul Calibur on the Playstation as well.

While we're on the subject, it get's better. In FABLE, it's actually possible to summon a magic, etheral floating sword to fend of enemies!

but there's also a trader who, like Gundrada, can't pronounce his 'R's...

"Twaaaaaade goods!"

Did you mean Gundwada or Ah Wok?

One of the villagers says that he "Doesn't often get a nice day orf like this". Also, This probably isn't even classed as a reference, but there's also a trader who, like Gundrada, can't pronounce his 'R's...

"According to the Powers that be - I I'm just doing my job, I do what I'm told. I don't even get paid very much - Apparently, sqirrels can have as many lives as they think they can get away with."

Another way of saying that is "Pick up the gauntlet" but they didn't take it from the clue room table, and therefore couldn't use it against the catacombite. That limited the choice of exits from the chamber they were in to just one.

That particular death seemed quite unfair, as I can't think exactly what the team did wrong to merit getting into a situation they couldn't argue themselves out of. I'll have to watch it again.

Anyway, good night, good people!
