It's Dragon's Lair. You probably know what to expect.

I did, zipp. My cousin showed it to me one time, and that was enough.

The first one I played was on a CD back in the day. It was one of the first cd games I had for the PC, and it was all cartoonish. You basically had to press the right button and the cartoon would go on, or miss and die a terrible death.

The NES version was like that, only without that whole "succeeding" option.

A crash course on Dragon's Lair for the kids: The point of Dragon's Lair, in its original incarnation, is that you perform actions now and then (tap left, hit action, tap right) but what you see onscreen in response would be spectacular, since it was all animation that had been completely drawn and was free to do anything. This was originally run off a laserdisc. In today's parlance, the entire game is a series of quicktime events, with the added (great) difficulty that the game doesn't actually tell you which buttons to press, nor is it precise about when to press them.

Actually, some versions are very neat...hope it's ok to bump an old thread, but I always liked Dragon's Lair and its possibilities. I mean, obviously they're restricted, but I always wondered what rooms other people would put in Dirk's castle, etc.
