Reception

Steve Winter reviewed Grail Quest in The Space Gamer No. 32.[1] Winter commented that "this is a great little MicroQuest. I never knew being good could be so much fun. If you would rather defend justice and honor under the clear blue skies of Britain than go mucking about underground robbing tombs, you'll love Grailquest."[1]
