The only thing I can think of is "Spirit of Excalibur". I think that was the name. It was a PC game made around 1991/92. It was on small floppies. I bought it used from someone. It was not a very common game as I recall. It was music and text but quite good for the times. It was about King Arthur and his knights of the Round Table going out to fight evil and there was some dragon type beasts they had to fight along the way. Sir Lancelot was involved as well.You played the game a lot on a big map of England which was also used to ask you a question to be able to get into the game. There was also a sequel called "Vengeance of Excalibur" which I played, which was OK too, but the first game was better. Does that sound anything like the game you are asking about?
