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."

    This would have been worth $1.

    Now, it's a cartoon character running around levels with high-res texturemaps fighting cartoon character monsters.

    Maybe good for getting the youngins aclimated to video games, but that appears to be the limit.

    I'm glad someone else feels this way. I'm not really into games, but I have a bit of nostalgia for the original Dragon's Lair. Honestly, I was disappointed by the screenshots. It looks like all of the other "walk around in 3d and kill things" games. And the graphics really don't seem all that hot (not that that matters, but if you're plugging the graphics, they should at least be compelling.)
