in 1996 the Monty Python crew put together a couple of computer games that are designed for Windows 95 (they run fine on Windows 98, which my laptop has, but I haven't been able to load it onto my desktop that has XP).
It is a VERY silly game, it makes you sit through scene after scene ad nauseum...and click over and over and over again for no reason or purpose... I love it!
I had had the game back in 1998 but a friend lost it (grrrr argh), and then I had the brilliant idea to look for it on eBay, and sure enough someone was selling it for only $5!
There is a second game, which is even sillier (and which I didn't miss as much) called 'Monty Python's Complete Waste of Time' that is also out there...somewhere. But neither one is still for sale thru their websites:

I hope that helps!

I had a Desktop Monty Python thing. You could download sounds and stuff and make it play when you did things (like when you closed the box it would say "and now for something compleatly differnt")
is that what your talking about? or is it some other thing?

I think that that was bundled into the package of 'A Complete Waste of Time'
but the 'Holy Grail' game is actually a game...
you go from scene to scene collecting junk in your inventory, and you pursue the quest:
you get killed by the killer rabbit (but you get a second chance...and a third and a fourth...LOL)
You get to hack the arms & legs off of the Black Knight
You get to spank the Virgins at Anthrax
You get to play a form of tetris which involves plague victims in a mass grave...
eventually you come to the Bridge of Death
where you die
but you get a second chance...
and when you FINALLY win the game you get the Holy Grail (more or less)
It is very silly and I really enjoy it, so I do recommend it!

And everything else the Pythons have done.

"Sit on my face
and tell me that you love me
and I'll sit on yours
and tell you I love you"
they were always so romantic
and deep

Yeahehe, Monty Python is good stuff but have any of you watched John Cleese's "Faulty Towers"?
It is absolutely high-larious.

Thought of one. Anyone mention "The Bishop"? Whenever "The Bishop" is said, it starts all over. And the apology afterward:
(On a card) An Apology. Speaker: Monty Python would like to apologize for repition in their show.
(Card flipped over, and another one says:) An Apology. Speaker: Monty Python would like to apologize for repition in their show.
And the "How to Protect Yourself from Different Fruits" bit. "What about a pointed stick?"

The opening credits to Holy Grail "A moose once bit my sister."
Somebody told me that "i've got a lovely bunch of cocoanuts" is origonaly a Monty Python song. Is that ture? Is so, The Lion King is Soo cool for singing it.
"Anyone else? Is there anyone else who has anything better to do then walking up and down the square?"
