The intrepid leader of the King's Knight party, the Knight "Ray Jack" wields a magic sword and sturdy armour against an onslaught of monsters, tricks and traps. Together with his friends Kaliva, Barusa and Toby, he must journey through the kingdom of Izander to defeat the dragon Tolfida, and rescue... you guessed it, a princess. How original.

Of course, Square would eventually go on to become world-famous for their Final Fantasy series, as well as the Dragon Quest games they would eventually acquire by merging with Enix. King's Knight was merely another unfortunate stepping stone on their path to the big leagues.
