Dragon's Lair on X-box

aka pseudonym writes "Remember the game Dragon's Lair, the laserdisc based game from the 80's? Well, it is now out for the X-box and other game systems. You can check it out at www.dragonslair3d.com. This looks like the first game that supports the HDTV 1080i resoloution the X-box is capable of. There is a review of the game here. A related slashdot link is here. Aaahhh memories, at least now I don't have to drop a full dollar into the machine every time I want to play this addictive game."

How about gameplay?

[Zayin]

So, is the gameplay anything like the previous Dragon's Lair games? IIRC it goes something like this:

space - up - right - left - DOH!
space - up - right - right - up - DOH!
space - up - right - right - space - left - DOH!
space - up - right - right - space - right - down etc...

Pretty exciting stuff!

I sucked at this game

[Qender]

I remember playing this game at software etc when I was young. (before that sofware etc was turned into the software section of a barnes and noble)

It started in front of a bridge, and everytime I tried to cross the bridge, a tentacle came up and killed my character. I never got farther than that, no matter what I did, the tentacle killed me.

I had a friend who could play through the whole game.

But I always got killed on the damn bridge.

Stupid game.

Crappy 3d

Surely even the crappy consoles have proper shadows these days. What's with the blurry circle? I want accurate shadows damnit. That's what's going to be good about Doom III, I can walk around going "wow, look at my shadow, it's even calculated properly on that monster running at me oh shit *splat*"

That's all good, G. Princess Daphne is an LA 10, and has all kinds of time for the listless, friendless loser who really knows how to use his joy stick.

How I played Dragon's Lair at the arcade:

Put 50c in slot.
Move joystick.
Die.
Repeat x 3.
Give up.
Go play Tron for an hour on one quarter.
