It was stunning then, and its stunning now, Arcade1Up is thrilled to release Dragons Lair in a home arcade form factor, faithfully reproducing its nostalgic gameplay, and gorgeous cabinet design. In 1983, video game designer Rick Dyer and legendary animator Don Bluth captivated the industry with Dragons Lair, a spectacular game that was unlike anything seen before, so ambitious and so advanced that it mesmerized video game players across generations. With its hand drawn animation, creative levels, and strong dose of sword and sorcery humor, crowds gathered around Dragons Lair just to catch a glimpse of this I cannot believe I am playing a cartoon sensation.
