(Think of TMNT’s Bebop and Rocksteady, only a little smarter.) Fortesque is not alone in his fight against the bad guys, though: new characters Professor Hamilton Kift, Winston the ghost and the Spiv take the place of the gargoyles and Hall of Heroes from the prequel, since canonically Dan was admitted among the heroes after defeating Zarok and so they no longer need to help him.

The villain, Lord Palethorn (who is actually just a commoner named Reggie Pallthrop), found pages of Zarok’s spellbook and the effects of the spells, besides reviving the dead and Sir Dan, turned himself into a demonic-looking being and his two henchmen into human-animal hybrids. For good measure Dan even has to fight parasitic octopus-like aliens. Wells’ novel “The Time Machine”, namely the titular machine and the underground-dwelling population of the Morlocks, here named “Mullocks”. Only this time the setting is a take on Victorian England that features all the things commonly associated with it in popular culture: mad science, steampunk contraptions, circus freaks, vampires and Jack the Ripper (here envisioned as some kind of reptilian monster).

The plot is largely the same: the skeletal knight gets resurrected by mistake by the game’s bad guy and must fight against hordes of strange creatures. Sir Dan’s game was successful enough to warrant a sequel, which came out two years later.
