S4E08: Quest for Camelot -or- A Farcical Animated Ceremony
Steve Guntli from CinemArcade, Ultra 64, and Wii Universe takes a seat at the round table to discuss Zelda clone Quest for Camelot for the Game Boy Color (1998) - and the film of the same name - with Mike and Jaymo as part of The Old SwitchAroo’s epic quest to research and review every retro game in Nintendo Switch Online’s Nintendo Classics catalog.In this episode, we discuss how the Quest for Camelot movie was shaped (and dwarfed) by the Disney Renaissance, the struggles of Warner Brothers Feature Animation (and the underappreciated film that is Cats Don’t Dance), how not to rip off The Legend of Zelda games, the illustrious resume of Titus Interactive, and Jaymo and Steve pitch their ideas on how to make a good Quest for Camelot game.Thanks for listening, and a very special thanks to Kristal Fields of The Lazy Circles for our catchy theme song!
