Introduction

The 20th Anniversary Edition is loaded with great bonus features never before released. Go through 20 years of Dragon's Lair in the Box Art section, or see the merchandise licensed during the original release. Read through the biographies of the creators and see how all of their unique backgrounds came together to create this monumental game. As well, from Rick Dyer's very own personal collection read through selected press clippings showing how Dragon's Lair revolutionized the arcade industry. There are also brand new interviews with the creators, and some original interviews from 1983. In addition watch a new documentary featuring behind-the-scenes footage of the all new Dragon's Lair 3D.

Dragon's Lair 20th Anniversary Edition is a ground-breaking DVD release which allows you to play fully interactive versions of Dragon's Lair, Space Ace and Dragon's Lair II: Time Warp using your remote control. How cool is that… using the remote control for a game controller. Now I just have to find some working batteries for the controller.

As a quick recap, Fair Princess Daphne has been kidnapped. You are Dirk the Daring and a (sort-of) brave adventurer. Your quest is to save Daphne from Singe the Evil Dragon. This is a perilous journey. Yes, expect to die trying, a lot. Explore your way through the castle and explore the horrors in the caverns below. You use your remote control to move, jump and wield your sword along the way. The action is fast.

Does this sound like too much action for one evening? Then this anniversary DVD lets you sit back and watch the game like a Twitch video. You can watch the wonderful Don Bluth animation in the game as a video sequence. The video shows all of the scenes and alternative endings without making the moves.
