I have made a discovery. The Black Knight from Monty Python and the Holy Grail is present in Civilization II. In a manner of speaking…

Check out this youtube video of the famous fight between Arthur and the Black Knight.

Compare the sounds at 0:46 and 0:59 to this WAV file that I’ve attached below

Civ II - SWRDHORS.WAV

If you still have your old Civilization II disc you can find this file in the SOUND directory to verify for yourself. It’s unmistakable.

I had this realization while watching random Monty Python clips on YouTube at about 3 in the morning and I was going to post it right away, but I thought better of it and decided to verify while I was in a better state of mind.

This shocking discovery leads me to suspect that something as culturally influential as Monty Python may be present in more than just one video game…. Please leave a comment under this blog post if you know of any others.
