Great classic that I would recommend picking up if you wished you could beat the arcade cabinet. If you are a fellow achievement hunter, beware that this games achievements are extremely hard to achieve as you have to work around some frustrating bugs for a chance to have them unlock.

The updated graphics alone are worth the purchase of this legendary game from the 1980's. Some of the timings of certain moves seem slightly off to me. But my biggest complaint is you can't turn off the move counter at the bottom center of the screen, It takes up a lot of room and imo, is kind of unsightly. I wish there was an option to completely turn it off, so you don't see it at all. Other than these few gripes, it's very fun and cool to play this game on my home computer. I remember dropping 4 quarters into the arcade machine, and dying real quick, lol. Thank you Digital Leisure, for giving us a small reminder of our past. ;)

10/10 *Dragon's Lair* is a true gaming classic and still a unique experience even today. The animation is beautiful, the atmosphere is unforgettable, and the challenge keeps every scene exciting. It perfectly captures the feeling of playing an interactive cartoon adventure. Yes, the gameplay is based on quick reactions and memorizing the correct moves, but that's exactly what gives the game its charm and makes every successful run feel rewarding. A timeless masterpiece that every retro gaming fan should experience at least once. Highly recommended.
