Eric the Unready is an adventure game from Legend Entertainment. Eric the Unready is a parody of the fantasy genre in general, though it parodies numerous other topics as well, ranging from Star Trek to Zork. The game engine uses an interactive fiction interface, although unlike most IF games, a graphical display of the player's location and viewpoint is provided. The title is a play on Eric the Red and Æthelred the Unready.
The game's cover was made by Boris Vallejo, who later would also make the cover for Shannara, another title by Legend.
