Finished in about 20 minutes!! Too short!!

I finished this in probably 20 minutes or so. I thought maybe there were other levels, but when I went back to the game I only saw the main game. There were no other levels to unlock. While the graphics are incredible, the game is WAY too short and is most definiltey not worth $5. If you are looking for a game you can play for weeks (or even days), don't buy this. If you grew up with this style of gaming in the 80s and don't mind a very short game and don't mind spending $5 for maybe half an hour of entertainment, go for it. Overall I'm very disappointed.
Crashes at same spot on opening sequence.

Please fix! I want to re-live 1983 (or so), for more than 10 seconds.
Too short
RossEStern
I love don bluth and dragons lair and this game is great but its just too short (or maybe I'm just great at these types of games). But I do still suggest you download it, just turn off infinite lives.
Potential is here

Thank you for bringing this to the iPad. If you improve stability (had it crash once so far in the second sequence), and utilize the swipe technology available t this platform so I can watch the animation rather than the d-pad at the corner of the screen, and perhaps two finger tap for energizing and shooting, I will happily give this classic a 5 star.
Just like the original

Despite some other reviews, I can tell you this game is just like the original. The timings are exactly like the old arcade version. I should know, I dumped a ton of quarters in that machine. The controls take a few minutes to get used to but it's a great game.
Missing some video out takes

The gameplay is good but there are some missing video clips that I remember from the original game. These clips would play during the game and would help to slow down the game. Please include these clips in the next update.
If you don't know what a laser disc is

or were not alive in 1983 you probably won't appreciate this game. For fans of the original it is disappointingly buggy. You cant get thru the first scene using the "table" controls setting and it still forgets to reverse the controls when some scene are flipped horizontally. But it does briefly take you back to that forgotten decade if you want to go.
