== [[Video Games]] ==
* One of the early Sierra games was ''[[Conquests of Camelot: The Search for the Grail]]'', involving King Arthur's quest for the Holy Grail and the three knights that went missing in search of it. It combines almost every aspect of the Arthurian mythos, and naturally, has room for several [[Monty Python]] references.
* Though they don't appear in the story proper, the [[Last-Disc Magic|exceedingly powerful]] Knights of the Round summon in ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]'' is clearly based on Arthur and his knights.
** The name is a reference to ''[[Knights of the Round]]'', an old Arthurian-themed side-scrolling beat-em-up.
* ''[[Backyard Sports|Backyard Skateboarding]]'' has the unlockable Excaliboard ([[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|obviously]] based on Excalibur) and mentions of the Knights of the Round Table in the [[Medieval European Fantasy]] level, Merry Old Englandland.
* ''[[King Arthur:
* ''[[Warcraft
* ''[[Tears to Tiara]]'' is a prequel of sorts in an [[Alternate Universe]], showing the rise of King Arthur with the help of a Demon King, Arawn.
* ''[[Tomb Raider]]: Legend'' [[Deconstruction|deconstructs]] the King Arthur myth by making Excalibur in reality a really, really ancient artifact that [[Older Than They Think|predates the Arthur myth]] and is mentioned in various other myths and legends. "Every culture's got one." ''[[Insufferable Genius]]'' [[The Scrappy|Alister]] constantly states how [[Lampshade Hanging|unlikely the legend is to be true]], while Lara remains optimistic and [[The Ditz|Zip]] just thinks Excalibur is a cool sword and [[Overused Running Gag|constantly]] confuses it with the sword in the stone. When he realises this is [[Berserk Button|irritating]] [[The Chew Toy|Alister]] greatly, he continues to do this [[Obfuscating Stupidity|deliberately]]. Lara approves. In the end, it turns out that {{spoiler|Excalibur is real, as is King Arthur and Avalon, and Lara gets to use the sword as a weapon on the final boss.}}
