The Sword in the Stone

Runtime: 60 Minutes

Today, we're going to learn all about King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. We'll start today's lesson by learning about Arthurian legend and the books from which it came. Afterwards, we'll talk about the inspiration for today's episode, the SNES game, King Arthur and the Knights of Justice (1995). Then, we'll be discussing many other video games that depict King Arthur throughout history. Let's see who will be the next king of Britain on today's trip down Memory Card Lane.
