Some of the puzzles and rooms have been modified a bit (for example, the boulder covering the dagger rolls a different direction than in PC).

King Edward calls his bravest knight, Sir Grahame, to his throne, and tells him he has heard of three legendary treasures hidden throughout the land that would end Daventry's troubles. If Grahame succeeds, he will become king. In later releases, the knight's name was changed to Graham.
