Favourite computer games
-
What might the favourite computer games of Knightmare characters be? Here are a few I thought of:
Bhal-Shebah - Double Dragon
Olaf - Dizzy (a game about an egg is apt for a man who wanted to 'time his eggs to perfection' in Series 2)
Ridolfo - Super Mario
Mr. Grimwold - Pac-Man
Simon from Series 4 - Tetris (games about blocks and falling are right up his street)
Smirkenorff - Wyrms (deliberate typo there!)
-
The mine-cart - Sega Rally ('Think off the rails....')
Catcombite - 'King of Monsters'
Any advisor - Space Channel 5 ("step-left, step RIGHT! ,bong, bong, bong")
The Descender - Metal Gear Solid
Corridor of Blades - ummmmmmm.... 'Robot Wars'?
The Dreaded Kha - Cobra Command
Gundrada - Mortal Kombat
Dwarves - Boulderdash
Treguard / Lord Fear - Dungeon Keeper....
Smirkenorf - Commanche 4 (Or indeed ANY helicopter sim....)
-
A few of these are going back quite a bit... for some reason, I just can't seem to think of many modern games which fit.
Treguard: Dungeon Master
Merlin (especially as far as Team 4 of S1 were concerned): Heavy on the Magick
Bumptious: Manic Miner
Ridolfo: The Bard's Tale
Stiletta (and Sylvester Hands): Thief
Lord Fear: F.E.A.R.
Skarkill: Gobliiins
Lissard: Repton
Aesandre: Midwinter, Icewind Dale
The Medusa: Eye of the Beholder
Festus: Shadow of the Beast
-
Romahna - Duck Hunt
Gwendoline - Captain Planet
Raptor - Sid Meier's Pirates!
And, funily enough, Metal Gear Solid is one of my all time favourite games.
-
Treguard - Kings Quest, Golden Axe
Lord Fear - Gods, Populus
Mogdread - Gods, Populus, Go To Hell
Hordriss - The Immortal
Grimwaldine - Might & Magic
Motley - Jack The Nipper, Punch & Judy
Lissard - George & The Mermaid, Aquatic Games
Brother Mace - A Bards Tale
Brother Strange - Colums
Smirkenorff - Altered Beast
Sidriss - Dizzy
Sly Hands - Tapper
-
Lord Fear - Gods, Populus
Heh, I seem to recall using the Populous editor to change the standard hand cursor into a Lord Fear hand.. then I turned the people into goblins and made the knight a bit more Frightknightlike.
At one point I tried making the standard people look like Frightknights, with a special black Frightknight to be the Hero, but that got very strange very quickly...
sighs wants to play Populous again
-
Gundrada - Barbarian (maybe Golden Axe)
Mrs Grimwold - Cauldron (C64 classic!)
Can't think of any more at the mo

I'd like to see Owen, Smirkenorff and Bhal-Shebah indulge in a game of Dungeons & Dragons.
Or maybe even witness Ridolfo strum it up on Guitar Hero.
Then you have Mogdred, Morghanna and Lord Fear doing their thing on Resident Evil, after which they would pit their own wits against each other on Killer Instinct. (Personally, I think Morghanna would win the latter, seeing as her only two appearances on Knightmare resulted in the dungeoneer being vanquished in the same room.)
