Let's Play Conquests of Camelot: The Search for the Grail (Full Playthrough)

[@emdeejay7432]

I played this many times with my dad when i was little and a few times on my own when i was a little older. This is so fun to see it again. I never thought I'd see this ever again.

[@LetsPlayWithBrigands]

Nice I've had that with other games that I kind of tucked away in the back of my mind, then it's a trip seeing it years later.

[@a.walters123]

This was one of my favorite games growing up. So much nostalgia. I thank you.

[@LetsPlayWithBrigands]

Thank you for watching; I was thoroughly impressed with this one as well as Conquests of the Longbow.

[@souulkeeper1384]

I can't wait to finish this whole thing. I had to skip ahead to check to see if this was the game I remember and it is. It took me so long to get the timing right with the boars and then the jousting happened and I couldn't ever manage it and gave up lol

[@LetsPlayWithBrigands]

Ha yeah this one has a lot of nuances in the puzzles/action like that but it's awesome.

[@a.walters123]

Right? As a child, this game took MONTHS to solve,

[@rusinoe8364]

I count at least 4 HR violations in the first 30 minutes. That poor mule...

[@LetsPlayWithBrigands]

Haha... yeah.

[@emdeejay7432]

"Oh damn grail that is cold" and "don't look marian" had me dying 😂😂😂

[@LetsPlayWithBrigands]

Ha I was expecting the grail to be more diplomatic, not melt the guy right in front of us.

[@emdeejay7432]

@LetsPlayWithBrigands that was hilarious. The grail is the cup Jesus. You'd think it would be more forgiving. But I mean son of God and he is after all and vengeful God in some ways. You know how he loves a good smiting haha

[@LetsPlayWithBrigands]

@@emdeejay7432 Ha yes he does. And to be fair, guy robbed us, we caught up and showed mercy, and he STILL tried to kill us. The grail's like "of COURSE I melted him... are we even having this discussion?".

[@emdeejay7432]

@LetsPlayWithBrigands I didn't really remember that part. When i saw that, I was like "what a dick!" Backstabbing us! I couldn't believe it. But then "don't look Marian" had me dying 😂😂😂 it was like 2 or 3am and I was brushing my teeth in the bathroom and started laughing out loud I had to catch myself and stop cause I started laughing so hard when you said that.

Brigands and clutch adventure game playthroughs: name a more iconic duo

[@SmokinFoolz]

One of my favorites. Thanks

[@LetsPlayWithBrigands]

Yep, I appreciate this one, little tweak on the normal Sierra fare.

[@mrcydonia]

Those dithered colors are hard on the eyes after a while.

[@LetsPlayWithBrigands]

Ha yeah I know what you mean.

[@a.walters123]

The amount of programming, commands and character quotes that went into this game… with late 80’s early 90’s programming technology… so few people appreciate. There has to be thousands of character responses alone, not to mention the actual gameplay.

[@LetsPlayWithBrigands]

It's extremely impressive and undermentioned, that's a very good point.

[@scy22]

1:11:46 So this is where Halo got it's theme song.

[@LetsPlayWithBrigands]

Ha I'm with you.

[@timothymclean]

37:55: Considering the reputation of both Sierra and this game specifically, I'm shocked that the game didn't let you kill him and then punish you five hours down the line when you get face-melted by the Grail. 1:40:55: What, you don't drink water with your feet? 2:01:45: ...did the kid not already have a name? 2:12:20: Again, considering that this is a game that lets you abandon knights to die at the start of the game and only lets you know you f*ked up at the end, I'm surprised that this kills you then and there. 2:26:05: And it doesn't seem like the game will let you get bitten by a rat at any other time. I know I keep saying this, but this is a shockingly merciful detail for a game where you can lose late in the game for not being nice enough to people back in England, or forgetting to ask specifically for all three types of coin before leaving Camelot, or using the wrong solution to a puzzle. 1:45: Part of me wants to go into a rant about how Muslim philosophy of love intermingled with Western European culture to produce "courtly love" for a couple of centuries, before later authors started writing Lancelot as a garden-variety adulterer who was otherwise chivalrous. But a KZbin comment probably isn't a good place to do more than give you a phrase to Google and a little context. 2:25: I feel like several of them are worthy of note! Like Galehaut, formerly called the Uncrowned King, a half-giant who's about to conquer Camelot before he sees Lancelot and develops an ambiguously platonic interest in befriending him. More modern adaptations should include Galehaut, because as far as I'm aware, the only times he's been mentioned in literature since the Vulgate Cycle are a minor reference in Dante's Inferno and one book I found on Wikipedia when checking to see if anyone had written about him in the past 600 years. 21:05: As much as Arthurian legend can be said to have a canon, the Grail is canonically _very_ hard to find. Percival/Parzifal was characterized in later works _as_ a knight who failed to find the Holy Grail. (Also, in one story Lancelot finds the Grail, and it knocks him out with a fireball because of his fornication with Guinevere. I don't have a point, but from a modern perspective it's very funny.) 57:15: I'm pretty sure the "look at it myself" text is supposed to be Merlin telling Arthur what he sees. Which sounds like it would get annoying fast... 2:04:35: I realize this is pretty obscure religious trivia, but there is no Saint Thiefy. Ismail is probably lying about what's in his reliquaries. 2:20:35: According to some versions, the wild boar that killed Adonis was sent by Ares. Both Ares and Adonis were lovers of Aphrodite. So, um, one can see why Ares might order the boar to kill Adonis in that manner. Classical gods were dicks.

[@LetsPlayWithBrigands]

Haha at reading some of these. I appreciate the time stamps when referencing these things.

[@Spankydoodle]

I remember this game.

[@masterblaster1844]

Loved this game as a kid! So fun amd challenging.

[@DavidSolimano]

"The black night awaits you for a joust to the death, do you accept the challenge?!?!? Yeah." That's LPWB, rising to every challenge!

[@LetsPlayWithBrigands]

We crushed that fool!

[@AnthVicari-s4z]

& that brand new Disneyland that opened up! LoL funny as

[@donwald3436]

3:45 I thought the Space Quest theme was going to start playing.

[@LetsPlayWithBrigands]

Ha I definitely hear it.

[@JStryker47]

If I were him, both Lancelot and Gwenivere would be banished and exiled from England, and I'd find myself a replacement knight and a more faithful queen.

[@timothymclean]

In some versions of King Arthur's story (there's no singular canon), Arthur tries to do basically that, but Lancelot starts a war over it. It's one of those wars that nobody really _wins,_ per se.

[@spurgear]

He would never heal the land via the Grail. Arthur was a martyr - like Christ he needed to suffer to find salvation for himself and the land.

[@rusinoe8364]

​@@spurgearwait, did Christ also get cucked?

[@hiimpercy]

I love this game. It has a weirdly creepy vibe for some reason.

[@LetsPlayWithBrigands]

Completely agree.

[@anthonybryan1961]

Hey man you should play conquest of the longbow its a great hidden gem point n click sierra classic! Great game dude

[@LetsPlayWithBrigands]

Thank goodness for the point n click haha! I'll definitely be visiting it on an eventual Tossback Tuesday live stream.

[@brettjaniec3933]

Your version isn’t the MT-32!

[@mattparker6414]

Wow. Let's go!

[@Cybernaut76]

WOW! I played this game like an ETERNITY ago....or lets say in the nineties when I was young....

[@obmarte3803]

Supposed to use heart by lake. But, that works.

[@SweetHotei]

What's goin' on everyone! Jk, I have question, where do I check for upcoming live streams? and is it just YT? Pura vida!

[@LetsPlayWithBrigands]

I'm live every Tuesday at 8PM, EST on KZbin playing classics like this and every Friday at 8PM, EST on twitch.tv/letsplaywithbrigands for a TGIF style live stream with more current games and other whackiness.

[@SweetHotei]

@@LetsPlayWithBrigands Thank you, Tony

[@hachemledarka2854]

Yup god game and lancelot love lady the lake

[@hachemledarka2854]

Merlin just like mannan

[@joemcdermott1213]

May be incredibly biased, but these games seem more enjoyable than modern RPGs with terribly boring quests. Prefer this from some grinding quest to go kill boring NPCs with better graphics. Pleasant music, amusing narrator interactions. Kind of like how it doesn't try to disguise it's a game, while still having an interesting world. As opposed to something worked to be realistic through graphics and voice acting, for some reason that's hard to enjoy. I wonder if Sierra or someone like them will ever make modern games, it would definitely be interesting.

[@timothymclean]

I suspect that a lot of that comes from not enjoying the core gameplay loops that most AAA RPGs are built around. I know I don't! Also, yes, familiarity probably plays a factor. There's a _lot_ of crummy design around Sierra games that makes them inaccessible for people who aren't used to dying because they walked one pixel too close to the edge and don't know you need to go into the desert to get a shoe to throw at a cat so a rat will bite your ropes when you get locked up a couple hours later. But it would be neat to see some modern adventure games try something more like Sierra's RPG-adventure titles, without the classic Sierra cruelty.

You talk too much. Kills the video. No commentary is the best commentary

[@LetsPlayWithBrigands]

With respect, talking's the thing I do on my channel to add some personality and give a different experience with games. If you'd prefer a video without commentary then I suggest you watch that rather than commenting that you don't like the purpose of this one.

[@rusinoe8364]

The talking is the best part brother
