Walkthru by Bruce A. Smith



     The legend of Arthur, King of Britain, has been told in many ways. Bob Bates has taken bits and pieces of the legend and combined them with some fine adventure gaming to create an inventive new tale of the young king. You play the role of Arthur who early on is given the ability to transform himself into various animals. Many of the obstacles you will find in "Arthur" can be dealt with by utilizing the five different animal forms available to you. This is one of the few Infocom adventures with graphics. The graphics are small, but nice, and add to the atmosphere of this enjoyable game.
