Knight Orc

"Level 9's breakthrough game and the game that first showcases its new robust engine, Knight Orc was one of the first games to give a voice to a villain: in this case, you play an orc named Grindleguts, who was abandoned by his buddies after a night of (what else) partying. The orcs, caught unawares by a troop of human knights, arrange for a 'Contest of Champions' to take place in the morning. They tie our anti-hero Grindleguts to a horse and give him a lance to defend himself.

Time and Magik

"In a similar manner to Jewels of Darkness, this collection brings together three interlinked Level 9 adventures:

Lords of Time
Red Moon
The Price of Magik

The games have all been updated into the company's later adventure system, and have longer textual descriptions and some slight puzzle tweaks. The 16-bit versions are new[er] and inevitably feature higher-resolution and more-colourful graphics." --MobyGames.com

"Travel back to the Age of Chivalry when knights were bold, galloping across the countryside and rescuing damsels in distress. This game recreates the time of wizards and the Knights of the Round Table. Lancelot is a three-part interactive fiction adventure, spanning the complete saga from the foundation of the Order to its finest hour - the quest for the Holy Grail.
