Dragon's Lair on X-box

Posted by michael on from the follow-the-flashing-tiles dept.

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."

    its just using an old license but which has little relevance to the arcade laser disk game

    The new Dragon's Lair 3D is very, very relevant to the original. Each scene is based on one from the old game, and the progression from one scene to the next is nearly identical. Also, the 3d models were built with Don Bluth's help, and the texture maps taken mostly from his original artwork.

    You're right that it's not exactly revolutionary, but it's not just an old name applied to a new game. It's the real thing.
