Trivia

The game was released in 1989, the year when actor Graham Chapman of Monty Python died. Chapman played King Arthur in the movie Monty Pythons and the Grail.

The game has an easter egg as a tribute to his memory. If while in the treasury you type 'ham and jam and spam a lot', you will see knights dancing to the music of the 'Spam a lot' song.
