There’s something terribly familiar about wandering around a dilapidated insane asylum with crazy people ahead of you and instant-death traps all around you.
Finally, a use for YouTube! Even with 25 years of access to the original Dragon’s Lair, I’ve yet to beat the game and snatch the lovely Princess Daphne from the clutches of the evil Singe. Fortunately, some YouTube know-it-all has uploaded and annotated a very handy real-time guide to completing the game, making us absolutely adore the annotations feature.
It’s not like we’re lacking in DVD and Blu-ray ports of Dragon’s Lair, so if you really want to give it a go and use the guide, now’s your chance.

United Coders, the development company working on Dragon’s Lair DS at this very moment, is looking ahead. Their next plan? Dragon’s Lair PSP. They just need a publisher (aka sugar daddy) to come around, bring some cash and distribute away when the project is done.
Some may see the development as just another version of the classic Dragon’s Lair in your pocket. Others will realise that a PSP version is but one inevitable step in the game competing with Doom as the most ported title in the history of mankind. DRAGON’S LAIR® UP FOR GRABS ON SONY PSP!

Where Dragon’s Lair walks, Space Ace is never far behind. The sci-fi follow-up to Don Bluth’s classic animated dungeon romp is following in it’s more popular older brother’s footsteps, as Digital Leisure announces Space Ace PC HD, due out this fall. The game features an all-new 5.1 surround sound mix, making the beautiful Kimberly just that much more adorable. “Don Bluth’s animation just pops in Space Ace HD” says David Foster, President of Digital Leisure. “It’s fantastic that today’s computers allow gamers to enjoy full high definition products. There are details in the animation that I didn’t know existed before seeing the game in such high definition. The colours are incredibly vivid and the surround sound mix will have you looking over your shoulder!”
As with their Dragon’s Lair HD release, Blu-ray and HD DVD versions will be hitting stores sometime next year.
