A recent issue of Retro Gamer magazine had a feature on Atic Atac.
The heading is Atic Atac: A Knightmare Of A Game.
However, the article doesn't mention Knightmare once, even though it was one of the main inspirations (along with Knight Lore) for Knightmare.
Also, the WWE have a charater called Festus.

I casually read through Retro Gamer magazine today while standing in WH Smith, and chanced across a feature on a game named Knightmare - only not one of the ones based on our Knightmare. It's a scrolling shoot-'em-up in a mediaeval setting, and there's some information about it here - it even features a "Nightmare Castle"!
While doing a bit of research, I stumbled across another strange connection: Miki Higashino, the composer for the game, also composed the music for another game... called Life Force!
