I suggested the merger because the merge-from article does not, in my opinion, constitute its own article for something that could be described in this article. Furthermore I do not believe that said article fits the Wikipedia style guidelines. --RK 00:50, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Completely agree - do it! Davidbod 00:15, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
    • Sure, and Treguard needs some TLC too. The JPS 00:51, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
      • Merge - you know it makes sense.--Ukdan999 20:12, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
        • Enter, merger! BillyH 20:18, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
          • OK, I've done it for you Davidbod 18:59, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Anyone got any information for the Spectrum/Amstrad/Commadore 64 Computer Game based on the TV series because I think that it would make a valid addition --Rorykillhorn 14:47, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Life Force/Death Animation

I would like to point out a section called "Life Force". This is slightly incorrect. There are actually two different things. It is correct that there are three parts of the life force: i.e. green, amber and red. However, this is not a timer. It is just an indicator. There is not a time limit (exept in time limit areas). The producers and editors could decide to change it whenever they thought was necessary. There was not a "bell tolling"; that is the death animation.

The death animation was sometimes used to indicate the "death" of a dungeoneer. Lets say, if for example in the block and tackle room, a dungeoneer got hit by a block, the life force death animation would start. The life force death animation (a.k.a the death animation) showed a series of pictures from the life force clock.

  • I have created a user subpage with what I think is an improved version of the Life Force section. You can find it at User:Leon2323/Knightmare/Life Force. You can edit it if nessessery. --Leon2323

[edit] Fair Use

Someone needs to go through all these screenshots and mark them as fair-use screen captures to avoid them all being removed and deleted. --JiFish(Talk/Contrib) 14:18, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

The ones in the 'Treguard of Dunshelm' section look like they have been taken from knightmare.com, presumably without permission of the site owner, though I could be wrong. Brollachan 18:48, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

I've now added fair use rational to the images used in this article. Brollachan 12:27, 18 September 2007 (UTC)


[edit] French version

acording to this website, the french version ended in 1991 not 1992.--Fantastic fred 21:36, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Repeats

I did some work on this today, trying to tidy up the justifications for the show's low ratings on the Sci Fi Channel. (It reads better now I think, but is still pretty POV - could definitely do with some citations.) However, I notice the section opens by saying Sci Fi aired all eight series, but later says the contract expired halfway through Series 4 and the show hadn't been seen on television since. Which of these, if either, is true? Did they broadcast them all and then repeat half, or what? 81.107.32.231 (talk) 19:05, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

They broadcast them all and then would loop back to the start again, the contract happened to run out while they were broadcasting another showing of Series 4. BillyH 13:27, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
