Synopsis: Dragon's Lair (1983)
Synopis: The first game ever to combine film-quality animation with video-game engineering, DRAGON'S LAIR is as much a movie as it is a kind of Choose Your Own Adventure game. Animator Don Bluth's revolutionary arcade classic allows the player to control the action of an animated film using the remote control of a DVD player or a joystick connected to a PC computer, Sony PlayStation 2, or X BOX. The objective is to guide valiant knight Dirk the Daring through a series of obstacles and treacherous monsters in the Castle of the Dark Wizard, where he must rescue a fair princess from the lair of an evil dragon. Viewers may play the game or just watch the story unfold as a short film in this imaginative, beautifully animated interactive story.Features: Dragon's Lair (1983)

The interviews were from video tape 15-18 years old, so the quality is not up to DVD standards. It was still interesting to hear about the history of the game.
Gameplay on my DVD player is poor. This will probably vary with the quality of your DVD player. I encounter hesitation between screens and moves. I am unable to move or act at the proper time according to screen action. Instead, I must anticipate the correct move and press the appropriate button about 1/2 second before the on-screen action gets to that point. This requires tens of lives and frankly the game is not that interesting since you can watch the whole thing from beginning to end.
One thing I would have liked to see is a section of all the various "Dirk death" scenes. Although the entire game can be watched, you do not see any of the death scenes that way. The only way to see the different ways the character is killed is to play the game.
This DVD is in the database at BlockBuster, if you can find a store that has it I suggest renting it. ...
