Comic books
He appears in the first issue of Scooby Doo... Where Are You! by Gold Key Comics in a story called What A Night For A Knight. It's basically the same story as the episode of the same name.

Scooby-Doo! Classic Creep Capers
In the Nintendo 64 version, there are five chapters with a different boss for each one. The Black Knight is the first level's boss. He's different from the regular version becuse he's got blue plumage instead of red and his armor is a little bit different. To beat him, you have to drop the sandbag on his head. His identity is Mr. Wickles, same thing as the TV show.

Scooby-Doo! Phantom of the Knight
In this PC game, the identity of the Black Knight varies from game to game. He is haunting the tourist castle Joust for Fun and has kidnapped the woman who plays the princess, Bernice.

Scooby-Doo! Night of 100 Frights
The Black Knight appeared as a boss villain on the rooftops of Mystic Manor. He is the first boss Scooby encounters and is holding Velma captive. Where Scooby would use the Football Helmet or Lightning Bolt power-ups on most villains these do not affect bosses. Although the Black Knight does not directly attack Scooby, he throws axes. Scooby can defeat him by charging at areas that send lightning bolts onto the Knight several times. The Black Knight must be standing behind the areas in order for the lightning to hit him. The Black Knight also has a witch on hand to aid him with his battle.
