  • Dragon's Lair was one of the first laserdisc video games, released in June 1983 by Cinematronics. It featured animation created by former Disney animator Don Bluth. Most other games of the era represented the character as a sprite, which consisted of a series of bitmaps displayed in succession. However, due to hardware limitations of the era, artists were greatly restricted in the detail they could achieve using that technique; the resolution, framerate and number of frames were severely constrained. Dragon's Lair overcame those limitations by tapping into the vast storage potential of laserdisc, but imposed other limitations on the actual gameplay. The game's enormous contrast with other arcade games of the time created a sensation when it appeared, and was played so heavily that many machines often broke due to the strain of overuse. It was also arguably the most successful game on this medium and is aggressively sought after by collectors. (en)
  • Dragons Lair är ett klassiskt arkadspel där man spelar som en riddare. Spelet ses från sidan och uppgiften är att ta riddaren igenom en borg. Spelet har blivit känt för sin för tiden otroligt avancerade grafik, och för att det var extremt svårt. Grafiken i Dragon's Lair är till större delen inte datorgenererad, utan tecknad film av Don Bluth som spelas upp från en laserdisc. Se även Dragon's Lair föreningen (sv)

  • Dragon's Lair foi um dos primeiros jogos eletrônicos em laserdisc, lançado em junho de 1983 pela Cinematronics. Trata-se duma animação interativa, cujo designer era Don Bluth, um ex-animador da Disney. A maioria dos outros jogos da época eram representados por sprites que consiste em umas séries de bitmaps animados em sucessão. Porém devido as limitações de hardware da época, os artistas eram muito restringidos nos detalhes, na resolução, no framerate etc. O Dragon's Lair superou essas limitações com o grande potencial de armazenamento do laserdisc que livrou completamente os artistas, mas impôs outras limitações no gameplay. O jogo apresentava as aventuras dum cavaleiro chamado Dirk o destemido numa missão de resgate a princesa Daphne. Cada etapa era dividida em cenas de desenho animado que devia ser engajada com seleções de comando. Se a seleção era correta, a cena e a história se desenrolavam. Se a seleção era errada, mostrava uma cena de Dick morrendo ou sofrendo algum destino ruim de forma apropriada. Tal engenho foi posteriormente usado em outros jogos como Space Ace e Time Gal. (pt)

Erstmals kontrollierte der Spieler statt eines Sprites eine grafisch liebevoll ausgearbeitete Spielfigur in einem interaktivem Zeichentrickfilm, der vom Disney-Zeichner Don Bluth gezeichnet worden war. Der Spieler musste mit bestimmten Joystickbewegungen zum richtigen Zeitpunkt in die laufende Handlung eingreifen. Die Gesamtdauer des Spiels betrug 28 Minuten. (de)
