Players will explore 11 levels on a quest for the fabled jeweled scabbard. Bracing for dangerous encounters with Morgan Le Fay, towering monsters and evil dwarves, they will utilize a full arsenal of weapons including bow & arrow, sword, mace and Excalibur.

"Arthur's Quest is unrivaled in that players take up the sword in explosive first-person action," states Doug Clemmer, President of ValuSoft. "Unlike most medieval games where play is viewed from overhead, we are plunging gamers head-first into legendary battles."

"Arthur's Quest: Battle for the Kingdom" is shipping to major retailers and mass merchants and will be available for $19.99.
