Ever played one of those old-school action-adventure games where you just feel the weight of every sword swing? That’s The Legend of Galahad for you—a Sega Genesis gem that throws you straight into some medieval chaos. You start off in this gloomy castle courtyard, and within minutes, you’re dodging arrows, slicing through skeletons, and trying not to fall into spike pits (trust me, they’re everywhere).

The controls are simple—run, jump, stab—but the levels get sneaky. One wrong step and you’re backtracking through a gauntlet of respawning enemies. And the bosses? Big, screen-filling monstrosities that take half your health bar in one hit if you’re not careful. It’s got that classic "tough but fair" vibe, where every death feels like your fault.

Visually, it’s pure 16-bit nostalgia—gritty castles, eerie forests, and those satisfying little sparks when your sword connects. The music’s all dramatic synth trumpets, too, which somehow makes stumbling into a trap feel epic. If you’re into retro games that don’t hold your hand, this one’s a solid time capsule.
