Nailed it. – Dragon's Lair HD Review

I remember when Dragon's Lair showed up at the "Space Port" in the 80's. It was the most "realistic" game ever. The way this was accomplished is that you are not actually controlling the character's every move - you're watching a cartoon, and you have brief moments in which you can affect the story. If you go the right direction - sometimes within a split second window - you could continue the story. I remember putting $.50 into this baby... A dear amount for a 13 year old in the 80s... and getting only about a minute of gameplay. This game was HARD! I loved it though. It was often broken. So many times I showed up to play it and the screen was dark. I've really enjoyed getting to try it again. Don't believe the people who are complaining about this. If you complain about this marvelous port of the game, you do not understand it. The reviews made me hesitate for a year to buy it. Make sure you set the options right... turn off the "move guide" right away. Get engrossed in the story. If you aren't a child of the 80s, you might want to stay away. We were the Original Gamers.... and we know a great game when we see one.
