Dirk the Daring is a knight in love with Princess Daphne. He often goes on quests with his stallion Bertram, his squire Timothy, and the Princess. Sir Hubert Blunt is a rival knight. The kingdom is threatened by the dragon Singe.
In a flip, the arcade game came first. In the old days, the TV show usually comes first to sell all the merchandise including an arcade game. I remember seeing the game in an arcade back in the day. Sadly, I was too cheap to play it. As a show, it probably needs to be more overtly comedic. Dirk's look makes him more comedic than heroic. He's tall, lanky, and gawky. It has the choose-your-adventure thing. In many cases, the viewer is given a choice between two actions and the best solution is often a third unmentioned choice. I believe it's based on the game play. It lasted only half a season.
