good game
If you’re older than about 16, you’re probably familiar with Laserdisc Video Games. Depending on your age, your memories will vary from utter contempt (the Sega CD games of the mid-90′s) to awe-inspiring. The granddaddy of them all, Dragon’s Lair, likely fits into the latter category. It is the game that ushered in the Laserdisc boom when it was introduced to arcades in 1983; it is perhaps fitting that it once again pushes technological boundaries 24 years later by being the first full Blu-Ray Java when it is released next week. I’ve been playing with it for about a week, using the PS3 as a Blu-Ray player, and I am happy to share my thoughts with you here. As it turns out, Dragon’s Lair on Blu-Ray is a tough title to review, as you have to look at it from several perspectives. To some, it may fail as a game, and may be considered entirely skippable. To others, it draws on significant memories that make it a must-have to older gamers and vintage gaming enthusiasts. There are some aspects of the title that make it worthy of acclaim regardless of your position on the game itself. I’ll do my best to cover all bases.
