This is great for what it is. I loved these games as a kid. Its kind of a pain to get this to run on a computer, and I use "Daphne Loader" and some other work-around. But it was kind of a pain, as I'm not particularly computer-savvy. If you're willing to do that stuff, it runs beautifully. I don't know about the newer blue-ray versions. I don't think they are supported by Daphne Loader. I have also tried the iPad version, which is nicely cleaned-up but its really a pain with the touch screen in my opinion. The game was hard enough as it is, granted its prehistoric by today's standards. I wouldn't know how to play a Wii if my life depended on it. Anyway Don Bluth's animation is unique and if you like that sort of thing, I highly recommend it. Space Ace and Dragon's Lair 2 are included, which made this a great choice. On my iMac, they really remind me of how the old arcade versions looked. I probably single-handedly funded these reissues because in the early 80's those machines cost 50 cents a shot and each game, for me, lasted about 3 seconds.

Nostalgia at its finest...

If you are at all remotely interested in this game, you are more than likely a product of the 70's. I grew up with all the trappings of early 80's arcade games. I remember seeing Space Invaders for the first time at my local pizza parlor back in the late 70's..I was probably 7 or 8...The scary big kids would play it wearing their Van Halen and Led Zep T-Shirts. As I grew I became fascinated with titles like Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, Zaxxon, Gorf, Tempest, Wizard of Wor, Joust...to name a few. Along came Dragons Lair, and turned the video game world upside down. Sure the concept seems adolescent compared to todays video games, and probably would be scoffed at from todays gamers, but there was a certain charm that makes this game so unique and loved by classic gamers (aka old guys). The DVD version is a bit more grainy than I would have guessed (although I see now there is a blu-ray version), and manuvering my XBOX remote was a bit tricky at first, however it does the trick as far as taking you back to when you were stealing quarters from your parents change ashtray so you could feed your arcade addiction. I do have to mention, and I do not know if it is just my computer or my Xbox360, but when I make a move (correct or not) the game pauses, and Dirk either turns into a skeleton (for an incorrect move), or changes from a skeleton into Dirk (for a correct move). I believe the original just kept going if you made a correct move. A bit strange to see a skeleton Dirk even when a correct move is made...and it does seem to slow the gameplay down a bit...even so, I am glad I made the purchase. I would love to hear if others are having the same issue with this DVD version. The DVD also has a few extras that includes some news footage on the game from back in 84, and some clips with its creators, nice to have some background, but not necessary...the footage just makes me feel old (I guess I am old). So, if you are a classic gamer like myself, and need a nostalgic fix, grab this one before it goes out of print, like the original, it wont be around forever.

Remember when...?

Can't say it's a horrible game. Really takes you back to the good old days of mom pulling you away from the direction of the arcade in the mall just so you couldn't dump her money into this machine. Now that you're older and can afford your own junk, a good way to spend money and remember why being a kid will never be the same.

It is what it is, and entertains like it should. I'm stoked that it came with 3 games (never seeing the sequel, anywhere ever!), and have peered through them all. Lots of great bonus stuff (including a "Starcade" episode), and extra scenes. My only problem is that the early game is too easy (almost) and the other two (the sequel and "Space Ace") are just frustratingly hard! You'll replay scene after scene, dozens of times before you advance to the next one. And then it's your last life and you gotta start all over, hoping you remembered what direction to go.

Because of the jumpiness of the scenes, I played it on my Playstation 2 , making it easier to manuever the little bugger around.

Cool concept (way ahead of its time) and a nice trip down your childhood, Dragon's Lair is a great buy.

great video quality! but randomly jumps scenes if you die

Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2009

I was so excited to hear there was a high definition version of Dragon's Lair. It looks fabulous. I don't remember the laser disc video quality much anymore. The video does look date but sharp. If there's a defect, it's somewhat grainy. But again, we're looking at 80s video.

I remember the gameplay more and this hd-dvd has serious branching issues. I know it's because of the way the designers structured it, but if you die, it randomly jumps to a different scene. the original game was basically trial and error like learning simon says. but this one jumps so randomly that you can't memorize the moves like in the original. the original was like building a story. you mess up, try a different move until you get it right, move on to the next scene and repeat. this one, you're constantly jumping so you can't memorize it properly.
that said, it's still work owning just for the fact that it looks so goo.

Very Difficult Game Very Short Movie,It Requires Lots And Lots Of Memorization Those That Remember This Game From The Early 80's Will Remember That This Game Was A Ground Breaking Achievement In Laser Disc Video Gaming Technology Now To See It On DVD Is Quite Disappointing And It Just Makes Me Feel Old I Didn't Think Any Thing Could Beat This Game At The Time,Although I've Never Finished The Game Itself I'm Pretty Sure This Is The Game In It's Complete Entirety,Good Movie/Video Game To Have In Your Collection Along With A Copy Of M.A.M.E.(The Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator) Disk Just To Show The Youngsters What Video Gaming Was Really About.

I remember when this title came out and I was a little kid. I was unable to play it at the arcade 'cause the game was always overcrowded by oldest kids. Now, this seller made my dream come true, finally I got not only one, but three of this laser disk games to enjoy and with the extended versions. Excellent conditions!! You made my day!!!
