TV Show - Knightmare

[samhain81]

First of all, what a show. We ALL watched this.

Now the big question? did any contestant ever beat this thing?

I swear, like Crystal Maze, it was designed so that nobody ever won. Maybe they didn't have the money for the prizes so they set people up to fail lol

Anyways, did you guys watch this? What did you think?

[jdanddiet]

Um, think you lost a "K"...

[samhain81]

I guess I did. Whoops

Mod please fix if you can be bothered

[nakamura]

Several beat it. All the videos are on you tube. Loved it!

[Fishsta]

Several teams beat Crystal Maze too.

8 teams beat Knightmare

17 teams won the "over 100 Gold" prizes in Crystal Maze, and in the first series there were not-so-good prizes for getting over 50 Gold too, 7 teams won these.

Yes they do, but nothing will ever come close to the fun of Fun House, especially with those twins

The guy who runs the Knightmare website was part of a team who won through... But you would know that if read my Making of Knightmare (covering TV show and computer games) in RG issue 90...

...Moving swiftly on

A Frightknight trophy (the prize for winning in later series) was sold on Ebay a couple of years back. Can't remember how much it went for, but it was in the thousands.

Yeah, I used to love the show. I think I stopped watching it in about 1990. I didn't realise it ran until 1994. It was a quirky little program - much like 'The Crystal Maze'. I also had the computer game for the C64.

I think it got repeated on Sci Fi(now SyFy) channel sometime in the 1990s and I think Challenge did show a few episodes. I think you could probably watch the whole series on YouTube, and I imagine it is lurking in the torrentsphere as well.

I had the knightmare board game. T'was okay.

I didn't have the Knightmare board game but I use to have the Crystal Maze board game until I lost most of the pieces.
