Galahad and the Holy Grail

Galahad and the Holy Grail is an action-adventure game for Atari 8-bit computers. It was designed and programmed by Douglas Crockford and published by the Atari Program Exchange in 1982. Influenced by Adventure for the Atari VCS and Arthurian legend, it contains almost 100 rooms–according to the manual–which are switched between with a flip screen technique. The game resulted in Crockford being hired at Atari Research. Following the closure of the Atari Program Exchange, a lightly updated version of Galahad and the Holy Grail was published by Antic Software.
