Knights of the Round
Capcom
Knights of the Round is an arcade port released by
Capcom in for the Super Nintendo in 1991. A side-
scrolling beat 'em up based loosely on the legend
of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table,
the game features a role-playing video game-like
level advancement system, with fighters
automatically being upgraded to new weapons and
armor as they advance through the game.
The gameplay is very similar to other Capcom beat
'em ups, such as Final Fight and Capcom's previous
hack-and-slash fantasy title The King of Dragons.
There are seven stages, each with its own boss and
a variety of generic enemies that try to stop the
players' progress. At various points in the game,
the players get to ride a horse, where they can
attack enemies on horseback.
