What Sir Lancelot is
Sir Lancelot was released in 1984. It was published by Melbourne House. It is available on Amstrad CPC and ZX Spectrum.
The premise, in the publisher's words
Sir Lancelot is a platform game where players guide the titular knight through 24 castle screens in search of treasure. Each level requires collecting all objects within a time limit to reveal the exit. The game features fixed-pattern enemies that must be avoided through strategic jumping and timing, as Lancelot has no combat abilities. Players can jump any distance safely and climb upward-only sections, making careful planning essential. Contact with enemies costs one of four lives and resets the current screen. The Spectrum version follows a predetermined level order, while the Amstrad version allows free level selection.
