The Dragon’s Lair game is a 1983 interactive laserdisc video game. It tells the story of a knight named Dirk the Daring, who is out to save Princess Daphne from the evil dragon Singe. During the game, he will have to overcome many obstacles and deadly monsters.
The game was developed by Rick Dyer and Don Bluth. The animation was of top quality, and the game used laserdisc technology. The game is based on quick time events. This means that a player must seek out certain animation sequences at the right time, and execute the correct action at the right moment.
The story of the Dragon’s Lair game takes place in the world of Kalaman, where wars are being fought. The heroes are called to defend the people of the city. But the city is in trouble, and rumors of the Dark Queen’s dragons are swirling around. The heroes must protect the inhabitants of Kalaman from these evil forces, while avoiding being captured themselves.
The game was initially released in arcades, but it eventually made its way to the home market. In Europe, the game was played using a single side PAL laserdisc player. This version was different from the Cinematronics version. The controls were slightly different, with the marquee and coin slots being branded with the Atari logo.
The game was popular, but it was also a financial flop. In fact, it was ranked as the best video arcade game of 1983.
