Prince Valiant
Not satisfied with being a Prince, Valiant wants to become a knight. Only King Arthur can bestow this honour, to any who prove themselves worthy by deed.
He must find the legendary Viking Ring of Peace and take it to Arthur’s palace at Camelot.
The quest begins in treacherous marshland, where every step is potentially lethal. Armed with a mere crossbow, the prince must fight his way through a vast forest, inhabited by cut-throats and thieves, down into the underground caverns, through the deadly maze to the ring’s resting place. Now he must cross the stormy sea and battle the hostile viking armada to reach Camelot.
Arthur’s Hall lies beyond the labyrinthine maze of corridors and passageways… will Prince Valiant make it and fulfil his dream of knighthood?

GAMEPLAY
Prince Valiant has five treacherous levels to complete if he is to win his knighthood.
The quest begins in the marshes. The path is broken and seemingly impossible to cross. Watch out for hidden trap-doors and disappearing stones, you must time Valiant’s movements to avoid these and the archers hiding in the trees.
Use all his ducking and fighting, skills to beat off numerous enemies and defeat the end of level guardians.
The Prince emerges unscathed from the marshes, only to find himself in a large and dangerous forest. Armed with a crossbow, Valiant must fight off hordes of depraved cut throats and find a way out.
A cunningly laid trap plunges Valiant deep into a vast subterranean cavern. He must pass through a maze, which is riddled with deadly surprises, in order to recover the Viking Ring of Peace from the skeleton of a viking warrior.
With the ring in his grasp, the Prince sets sail for Camelot determined to claim his knighthood. The seas are rough and hostile sea vikings attack the ship. He is unable to outrun their longboats and must use his meagre weaponry in a fight to the end in order to reach safety.
Prince Valiant, battle-scarred and weary, arrives at Camelot.
However, only trouble greets him. He is thrown into the dungeons by disbelieving guards. Escaping from his cell, the Prince sets off through labyrinthine corridors and passageways. He is near the end of his strength and must find King Arthur’s banqueting hall – there he will fulfil his dream.
