The classic 80s/90s TV show Knightmare sidesteps it’s way onto YouTube. Yeah sure this probably doesn’t have much to do with actual “gaming” but it was a “game” show so let’s make an exception since Knightmare was both the most awesome and terrible thing I watched as a kid.
The concept to Knightmare is pretty simple, a team of four contestants show up, get insulted by Hugo Myatt and then one of them wears a massive clunky helmet that completely blocks their vision. The remaining team mates have to help guide their fellow blind friend through various dungeons by telling him/her where to go and trying to explain what kind of room they are currently in.
It may not sound all that impressive but it has lead to some of the funniest moments on TV.
For the YouTube remake, series legend Hugo Myatt returns as Treguard and he is joined by the following YouTube personalities.

- Ashens - http://www.youtube.com/ashens
- Dan Is Not On Fire - http://www.youtube.com/Danisnotonfire
- Emma Blackery - http://www.youtube.com/Emmablackery
I’ve never heard of Amazing Phil and Dan Is Not On Fire but I am familar with Emma Blackery. Ashens however is pure awesome, I’ve been watching his videos since he first started. Amusingly enough, he is the one who gets to wear the stupid helmet in this YouTube special edition of Knightmare.
