Dragon's Lair Trilogy

Loved playing it, but just got a new PC and it crashed the first time playing.

It is old and might not be everyone's cup of tea.

I played these in the arcade in the 80's. They were OK. I purchased Space Ace for PC back in the 90's. It was OK. I never made it to the end. Way to hard to time your moves just right. These were cutting edge way back in the day but have been superseded in every way today. $20 is very high for these games. $5 and I would try them out. Harry

I guess it shows my age that I actually beat Dragon's Lair in the arcade. I loved it, but it was more like puttnig on a show. There was no "playstation four" outside of us playing in the backyard; the concept of home video games was so far-fetched that it never even entered into our thoughts. Think about walking into a room where the most popular and technically advanced game was a Pac-Man cabinet, and suddenly around the corner you hear a human voice say... "DRAGON'S LAIR", you turn the corner to see an actual animated cartoon in an arcade cabinet. Things are taken for granted now, as people complain about such trivialities when it comes to games. This was a hallmark for an age, and I am proud to be of that group. I remember playing games when other gamers were physically there with you, and they were supportive and enjoyed the experience that you provided them with. I had more than a few people behind me cheer when I finished Dragon's Lair for the first time. I assume that is why "Good Old Games" is the name of the site. PS, I can't get the "Energize" button to work on the Space Ace clone. Anyone else having that issue?

Seriously, the best parts of this game are the death sequences. They were all great, and some were truly hilarious. They'll be even better now that I don't have to plug another quarter after every death (just the 100 quarters that they are asking for up front). That said, the main value in these games is in the animation. If you aren't into that, you may not find them that interesting, as they are entirely quick time events and aren't very long. However, if you like old animation, these games have a ton of charm. For me, I'll pick them up for the nostalgia alone.
