Denicio Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Okay, i am NOT a code guy and NOT creating this game. Watching all you guys post about homebrews and whatnot i thought to myself "I wonder what an Intelly Homebrew of Dragon's Lair might look like" So i will just leave this here :-) I know the Intellivision is incapable of giving the arcade proper justice but still love to see and play a version of it if its even possible. Heck, Treasure Of Tarmin was the 1st of its kind (i think) so anything's possible....right? Okay day dream over and back to work....

Denicio Posted February 3, 2017 Author Share Posted February 3, 2017 Made with RetroSpecs INTVDLtitle.PNGINTVDirk.PNG Not sure what RetroSpecs is or means. I was just thinking of a blocky version of the game. It would indeed be a poor mans version but still probably fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+save2600 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Guessing it would play like and look more blocky than the Adam version. Pass. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=A25_NlSfKhU Besides, there's a million ways to play Dragon's Lair today. A port for Intellivision would just make that a million and one. lol 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DZ-Jay Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Yeah, really. The appeal of the original was the cartoon graphics (certainly it was not the lame "quicktime-event" action). It reminds me of Marble Madness, another very popular arcade game which relied on graphics and great physics simulations and controls. When ported to 8-bit micros, it seems like a weird isometric version of Pac-Man, and it was mostly awkward to play. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+save2600 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Always thought these were pretty neat... Play pixel perfect versions of the games on your regular DVD player: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dragons-Lair-20th-Anniversary-DVD-Set-SEALED-NEW-/142260462052?hash=item211f6261e4:g:PHsAAOSwNphWZzYt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric7100 Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 It reminds me of Marble Madness... Off topic, but I always preferred Marble Blast to Marble Madness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imstarryeyed Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Plays amazing on the wii. No loading between levels, really the most perfect version I have played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_me Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 I don't know about the home versions but the arcade Dragons Lair was not much of a video game. It was an interactive cartoon with almost no gameplay. It came with alot of hype that quickly disappeared and we went back to playing Missile Command and Defender. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragon's Lair Trilogy http://m.gamestop.com/product/wii/games/dragons-lair-trilogy/84045 $35 for a used, beat up example? No thanks. For $30, you can get this: Can even skip the game part and just watch the entire thing play out like a movie. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dragon-039-s-Lair-20th-Anniversary-DVD-Set-SEALED-NEW-/142267848522?

HunterZero Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 The DVD copy really is not the best way to play the game. The moves and timings are not right. However, if you get that DVD set with Dragon's Lair 1 and 2 and Space Ace, you can rip the video to use with the Daphne emulator. That gives a much more faithful result. There was a remastered HD blu ray edition which looks great. But again the gameplay isn't faithful. - James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragon's Lair Trilogy http://m.gamestop.com/product/wii/games/dragons-lair-trilogy/84045 I have it. I really like it. A great port of DL, plus the other games are available too (I haven't tried them yet). Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
