    Just the same as the original. The included interviews and extra scenes are well worth watching for a fan of the game. Space Ace is ok and I haven't tried DL2, but just having the original is great.

    First, these games are totally awesome! They are for the most part arcade perfect! Unfortunately, there's a down side. I bought this hoping it would run on my computor. It won't!! The game's freeze every few minutes! Digital leisure provides a download that's is supposed to fix the problem! It doesn't! My computor meets all specs for this game. And I'm running "Windows XP". Don't buy this version! Buy "Dragon's Lair 20th Anniversary Edition DVD". This version works perfectly! I tried contacting Digital Leisure and got no response. What a shame!!!

    4.0 out of 5 stars If you can remeber this in the arcade, you will love this set.
    Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2007

    I just got this game today and I am very pleased with my purchase. Not only did you get the Bluth's three Laserdisc classics, you get some extras that play like DVD extras on your computer. If you don't remember these games in an arcade, you probably wouldn't want them. For gamers my age (I am 35), I found this collection to be a hoot and I can't wait to play through all of the extras and see some of the funny ways to die.

    Dragon's Lair:
    This game reminds me of WarioWare since you have a bunch of different rooms to explore which require a small amount of movements to complete. The rooms last for a few seconds and do not take too much time to finish. The tricky part is actually figuring out the correct moves to finish the room safely. I do feel bad when Dirk the Daring dies, but it is quite entertaining in a cartoon-like way. This one is my favorite.

    Space Ace:
    This game (the second in the series) decided to go for a more linear approach. The game is much faster and a little bit harder to figure out how to move the controls. I find this to be the hardest game in that respect. I lost a lot of quarters to this one.

    Dragon's Lair II:
    I never played this in the arcade, but I would have lost a lot of money. This game is linear like Space Ace, but it gives you hints for each movement. You will need those hints since the game is even faster yet. I like watching this more than playing it, but it is fun. There are two different endings depending on if you collect some special items along the way. Don Bluth's company did a great job making the most zany and action packed cartoon ever.

    PROS:
    + Dragon's Lair, Dragon's Lair II, Space Ace, and a Disc of extras are all included
    + You can install all of these discs on your hard drive to give you faster play and stutter free videos
    + No more wasted quarters and you can see what you were missing out as a child
    + Dragon's Lair (disc 1) lets you see some deleted scenes
    + Dragon's Lair, Dragon's Lair II, and Space Ace let you watch the game "movie" from start to finish

    CONS:
    - If you are not into these types of games, you can probably see some of this on YouTube
    - There were some driver problems I had when I tried to play them, but the support site (linked from the CD) helped me fix it
    - They advertise that you want to play them from the CD, but I don't suggest it. Dump it to your hard drive using the instructions found on the CD (right click on the icon and open the disc to find the file).
    - This might be important to a lot of people, but these games are in MPEG format. While it makes the clips easy to view in almost any player, it is not DVD quality. This is the reason that there is a new HD version of Dragon's lair on the market. This may not bother many, but it could be a reason to shell more money for the higher-quality game.

    I couldn't give it a 5 star rating because it is not for everyone. Four stars for this game if you are a fanatic older video games.

    I played all three of these games when they were released to the arcades. They were revolutionary then and just as much fun now as they were then. Game play is identical to the original games as the graphics look great on my 20 inch LCD. I once owned a Dragons Lair / Space Ace conversion arcade console. It had the laser disc for each game and a ROM that you had to change out to convert over. I'll bet its worth more now than I sold it for but buying these for the PC satisfies the nostalgic craving without taking up a lot of space! Highly recommended!

    3.0 out of 5 stars Mediocre video quality, but the game play is crisp and tight.
    Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2007
    I was disappointed with the video quality - it looks like a second generation video copy. So I went and blew almost $70 on the DVD-ROM HD version of just Dragon's Lair. The HD version's quality was great but the game play was laggy and scenes would start half-way into the action on occasion. Before you say I need a better computer do note that this was on a Core 2 Duo e6600 with a Geforce 7600GT video card. The CD-ROM version's gameplay is much snappier, plus you get Dragon' Lair II, Space Ace, and a lot of "Making Of" type material on the extras disc. In the end, I would say get both of them. ^_^

    This collection is a must for those who enjoyed playing the arcade versions of Dragon's Lair, Space Ace and Dragon's Lair 2-Time Warp. I've waited a long time to find these games in a playable home format and this is the best I've seen. It plays on your DVD player, Playstation 2 or X-Box. It also includes interviews with animator Don Bluth, trailers of other DVD interactive games and an excerpt from the game show "Starcade". For anyone who is a fan of Dragon's Lair and Space Ace this boxed set is highly recommended.

    If you grew up in the 80s and remember the greatness of Saturday morning cartoons then this is for you. The animation is beautiful but the digital transfer was a bit grainy. A lot of fun and extremely hard. Comes with DL1 and DL2 plus space Ace .
