One of the most classic of the classics, Dragon’s Lair was a more of an interactive movie based on timing than it was a game…at least in the original sense. It was ported to the NES, where it was criticized for unbelievable difficulty. It also—almost naturally—became a Saturday morning cartoon series.

Dragon’s Lair was so incredibly popular in the early eighties…mainly because of its stellar, movie-quality graphics, vibrant colors and silly humor…that many machines simply wore out. Children, quarters in hand, were forced to turn to other classics in the grocery store foyer or arcade.

Today, Dragon’s Lair is back in its most classic setting. Yes, it has been ported to the iPhone, but it is now being released on Blu-Ray disc…making it a near carbon copy of yesterday’s gameplay that still offers its original draw: modern, incredible graphics (and sounds).
