We’re suckers for a good bad pun, and today Knight Of The Living Dead fits the bill. It’s Sir Galahad, of the Holy Grail fame, versus zombies, hence: Knight Of The Living Dead. You slay zombies and level up, getting some divine inspiration in the form of various power-ups as you go. Annoyingly the game requires .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 and Microsoft XNA Framework Redistributable 3.1, and it’s not really worth going to the trouble of installing those if you don’t already have them in place. Boo.
linkie doesn’t seem to work

Odd. Works here.

It works, I made the effort to download it. It actually enjoyed the hell out of it for a few minutes!
report
I might add if you just download the game installer, it automatically installs everything it needs (including .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 and Microsoft XNA Framework Redistributable 3.1) so no additional installation is required.
report
Well. I actually do well enough to land a spot on the All-time best score list (on my third run, I might add) and instead the spot goes to some fellow named “Zindara” due to a character limit I wasn’t informed about.
Irksome!
report
FWIW Net 3.5 SP1 is distributed via Windows Update so 99% people will just need the XNA installer.
report
works fine now , I must have caught the sight at a bad time :P
report
Hmm I installed both .NET and XNA frameworks and the game just crashes when running it with send/don’t send. I don’t know what’s wrong
report
Bah! Everyone knows premodern zombies were ineffective biters due to poor dental hygiene. Remember, kids, fluoridated drinking water makes zombies many times more effective killers!
report
Got rank 25 on my first try :P not bad (unless there are only 25 people who have ever played it lol)
report
That trailer is great!
report
This was a fun ten minutes. I smite at the, heathens!
report
I can’t understand why microsoft sucks at distributing their technologies. And the names sucks too: what in the hell “.NET Framework 3.5 SP1″ and “Microsoft XNA Framework Redistributable 3.1″ means?? I just want to play!!!!!!!!
report
Just played again… and got rank 11!
missed out on the leader board by *that much*

BLADESTORMMM WShUHhsshhhh

report
A much more respectable 33 now.
report
Now to 26. Those highest scores seem nuts. 3 minutes!?!
report
I’m on 13 minutes right now…

Hi all! Justin here from Pistachio. Sorry to all the folks having problems (or just angry) with the frameworks. We’re not a big fan of the process either.
As for those 3 minute times … if you haven’t yet, try watching the speed run video in our media section. The biggest tip I think is to jack up Devotion early on until the first Titan wave, at which point you should build up some other stats to take him down quickly. In general, killing the Enders with reckless abandon is a must.
Also, we just added sortable stats on our site, so please come check it out! Thanks to everyone for playing, or attempting to play. :)
