Dragon's Lair Remastered in HD

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the maybe-this-time-i'll-save-daphne dept.

JamesO writes "Digital Leisure has announced the development of Dragon's Lair HD, for release this autumn for the PC. Remastered is usually a term associated with DVD movie release, usually referring to the cleaning up of the film's print. It's not that odd then that the term is being used for what is essentially an interactive cartoon. Dragon's Lair HD promises to do what it says on the tin, offering the original game in true high definition. " I still remember the first time I saw Dragon's Lair in an arcade. I'd love to play it again in HD — in the arcade it was a quarter eater.

    Actually the secret to Dragon's Lair was standing right behind someone with a giant stack of quarters being pumped into the game.

    And throw in a few barely audible mumbles of "you suck" when they screw up.

    Best/cheapest way to enjoy the game.

  3. Overrated... by TopShelf · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Dragon's Lair made for some nice eye candy at the time, but as a game, it totally stunk. Despite sharing my first name with the gallant hero, it held my interest for about 15 minutes before going back to the rest of the arcade.

    Dragon's Lair was a very early example of the game that looks so much better than it plays.

  4. Dungeon Escape! by axolotl_farmer · · Score: 5, Interesting

    For those who want to see what Dragon's Lair is like, but prefer stick-figures to cels, there's the excellent flash game Dungeon Escape!.

    Anyone beat that one yet?

  5. I hated this game. by recursiv · · Score: 5, Funny

    I spent 25 cents on it. I put my quarter in and started the game. I watched the intro, and then I was dead. Evidently the intro was actually the game. Anyway, this pissed me off so much that I've hated it ever since.

  6. Easter Egg - Unlimited Lives by caffeinatedOnline · · Score: 5, Informative

    While holding the joystick up and to the left, hold down the sword button while inserting your quarter. This will give you lives until you finish the game... really use to piss people off when I would do it and die 50 times in the same spot...
