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?
