King Arthur: Difference between revisions

 

 

* One of the early Sierra games was ''[[Conquests of Camelot]]'', 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.

* ''Sonic and the Black Knight'' involves [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] as a [[Fish Out of Water]] as he is summoned the legends of Arthur, for he must save the kingdom from Arthur himself, who is now [[Brainwashed and Crazy]], with a new getup akin to [[The Lord of the Rings|Sauron]] and a very unique sword, and is ruling the land tyrannically as the eponymous Black Knight. Oh, and Merlin has a grand daughter in Merlin'''a'''. And other ''Sonic'' characters serve as the likeness for Arthurian characters: Knuckles is Gawain, Shadow is Lancelot, and Blaze is... Percival? Tails being a blacksmith and Amy being the Lady of the Lake makes more sense, though.

* There are several references in the ''[[Fire Emblem]]'' video game series to the Arthurian legends. In Fire Emblem: Blazing Sword there is a Lord called Uther who has a brother named Hector which may be a reference to Ector, Arthur's foster father. Also in Blazing Sword, there is a tome called Excalibur. Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance has Gaiwain{{spoiler|, also known as Greil}}and an early sword called Ettard could be named after the Lady Ettard. In the sequel to POR, Radiant Dawn, there is a mage called Pelleas which is the name of the knight who loved the Lady Ettard. There are also the twin swords Ragnell and Alondite. Ragnell was the name of Sir Gawain's wife, Alondite is supposedly the Japanese pronounciation for Lancelot's sword, Arondight.
