Ah, Dragon’s Lair… The arcade game I had a love-hate relationship with as a child. The animation was amazing and unique, but the game ran me $1 for each 30 seconds of play. At some point I must have been mature enough to realize I sucked, either that or my mom stopped giving me money, and I would stand around (in amazement) watching the older kids who had memorized the patterns.
Anyhow, Dragon’s Lair has been remastered and was released on Blu-ray a few months ago and is now available on HD DVD today, retailing for $50 but it can probably be found for $30-$40 — certainly much less money than I spent in the arcade (over 20 years ago) for limited playtime. As you can see from the pic above, I have a review copy waiting for me to find some free time.
You’re more than welcome to test it on my Xbox 360 HD-DVD player and 60-inch SXRD. It’s not because I too was addicted to the game; it’s just the kind of guy I am. ;) PS – I sucked at DL too, but I’m much older and wiser now….not.
I, too, played this one as a youngster and have since purchased the xbox 20th anniversary edition. If you had an xbox, I’d offer to lend it to you.
Alexi, I will miss that original Xbox I passed your way. Feel free to buy me one of those cheapie $30 DivX DVD players to replace XBMC. ;)
