I guess it's my turn then.

1986/7

It is the Age of Chivalry. A time of maidens in distress and black hearted villains. King Richard has been murdered and all of England is engaged in a civil war. Amidst the growing chaos, the Saxon Lords have rallied around your banner and chosen you to lead them in the fight against the hated Normans. Victory will not come easily. Your skills with sword and lance will be thoroughly tested. Your ability to inspire your men in the dark times ahead could be the difference between victory and defeat.

The most successful video game put out by Cinemaware. Originally created by Master Designer Software and published by Mindscape.
Made available on most computer platforms of the time by various companies and distributors.
The most ported game in history (according to the website I googled )

if it starts out in 1149 AD with an intro by Robin of Locksley, i think i know I think I'll let someone else give it a shot first (I've always liked the movie Ivanhoe )

Next game:

Platform: PC.

Some colourful creatures created by a scientist are taking a stroll around a large house. One decides that it is thirsty and takes a gulp of water from a nearby toxic waste pipe. Unexpectedly, it grows smarter and becomes more aggressive and decides to take over the world.

I'm not good at old games because of my (relatively) young age, but isn't there some game about goblins with that story? I guess I try Gobliiins.

I'm not even going to mention anything else...

Hmm... didn't know about adventures before about that time, and the only adventure I remember from that time, doesn't fit the first hint...

I can't believe nobody's said Day of the Tentacle yet.

I'm not going to say it, though, because I don't want to have to think of the next game.

Somebody else say it.
