this is seriously bugging me. I had a sudden blast of nostalgia, and I remembered a game I played once. I don't remember what system it was for, it was possibly for the SNES or maybe one of the Sega consoles, but it may have actually been revived on the Playstation or Playstation 2 or 3 recently.
The only think I remember about it is that the main character was a knight, but he wasn't in full plate armor, like you get with a lot of these knight games. He had a sorta bullet shaped helmet that left the face open and possibly wore chainmail, with some sort of cloth shirt or tabbard over it.

The last final clue I can give is that the game had various todo over how it used cartoon style graphics. I think at least one version of the game used actual cartoon animation, possibly within the actual gameplay. From what I can recall, the style reminded me a little bit of Disney's Sword and the Stone. I seem to recall teh game being noted as being unique for this very reason.

If I saw a picture of the cover or something, I'd definitely remember it, but I just seriously cannot remember a thing about the title or any of the character's name. Which is irritating, cause I think he had a really stupid name like Sir Bill or Dirk or something really simple.

Dragon's Lair.

Hope it's not the NES version of Dragon's Lair your thinking of. I'm sure the frustration of that game will knock years off your life.

THANK YOU! Good god, i had no clue what the hell to put into a google search. Holy crap though, I got his name right.

Yup...now you can rest easy.

yes, as a matter of fact, I think I'm going to turn in for the night. It was the SNES version that is what I remembered. i'll have to see if I can track down who I borrowed it from back when I played it originally or something, but at least now i know what I'm looking for. Maybe I'll get the gamecube or PS2 version though. Have to look into that.
