Knightmare Merchandise

By Nicholas Lam

Knightmare merchandise included a broad range of items. These included computer games and a board game, signed cast photo-packs, plus a range of Knightmare t-shirts, sweatshirts and mugs.


Publicity

The first edition of the t-shirts and sweatshirts were advertised in the third Knightmare Book, Fortress of Assassins (1990). Merchandise was also advertised through flyers sent by Broadsword in reply to fans' letters.

When the Knightmare Adventurers Club was launched in 1991, there were adverts at the back of 'The Quest' Club Newsletters. Those who joined the Club would receive a pack of Knightmare goodies, which included stationery.

Books

There were seven Knightmare adventure game books written (or co-written) by Dave Morris. These comprised a novella and a choose-your-own adventure game.

In 2014, Knightmare artist David Rowe released a book, The Art of Knightmare, which explains the creation of his paintings that were used on the show.
