As Sir Lancelot it is your task to investigate 24 rooms of a castle and collect the flashing items in each room. In this fast platform game you must collect all the objects from a room before an exit is revealed, and you must also contend with the 'guardians' of those items. ~ You start off in a room full of flashing axes, Merlin's magic teleport chamber. This is a selection room where you can decide upon the sequence of rooms to be visited; just walk up to an axe and you are transported to another room. Whenever a room is completed you return to this first room where you can decide again which room to visit next. Each has a time limit for the collection of the flashing objects You have 3 lives at the start and a new one is awarded
every 2000 points. Should you lose a life in a room, then the time limit is reset to 999 and all the flashing objects (had any been collected) reappear.
Tne graphics featured in Sir Lancelot are very simple but effective. The whole appearance of the game makes it look very simple and boring but that's misleading because in play it is great fun. It should take some time to complete because the screens vary difficulty, and some objects require a high degree of arcade skill to collect them Generally. a very enjoyable game.

Sir Lancelot is a video game published in 1984 by Melbourne House for the Amstrad CPC and ZX Spectrum home computers.

Sir Lancelot, controlled by the player, must explore the 24 rooms of the castle and collect all the objects (which come in many forms but glow to make them identifiable) in each room before making his way to the exit to the next. His task is made more difficult by the presence of various guardians (including animals and soldiers) who he must avoid in each room. He also has a time limit in which to complete each room. Control is very simple, with only three keys needed: left, right and jump. A joystick can also be used.

The ZX Spectrum version has the rooms visited progressively whilst the Amstrad CPC version allows the rooms to be completed in any order. The Amstrad version also has a high-score table which the Spectrum version lacks.
