Camelot Warriors is a platform game released in 1986 by the Spanish company Dinamic Software for the ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC and MSX. It was designed and programmed by Víctor Ruiz with Florentino Pertejo, and the cover art was painted by Alfonso Azpiri. In the United Kingdom it was released by Ariolasoft and later reissued by Mastertronic as a budget title, and a Commodore 64 conversion was made by Opera Soft.
Strange objects from the twentieth century appear in Camelot: the Voice from Another World, the Mirror of Wisdom, the Elixir of Life and the Fire That Does Not Burn. A knight must take each of them to the guardian of its land. In the original premise the hero is really a rock singer who spent a week at home watching medieval films, and the whole game is his dream. Turned into a frog, the knight can no longer attack but jumps much better, which lets him cross water.
The game later inspired remakes and fan projects for PC and GP2X.12

Reception
Contemporary reviews praised the colorful, detailed graphics, especially on the ZX Spectrum and Amstrad CPC. The game is still considered hard, because jumps are slow and imprecise and any contact with an enemy is fatal; Spanish Wikipedia calls it a true classic of the golden age of Spanish software.1
