Dragon's Lair - Homebrew


Denicio

Recommended Posts

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....

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.

Always thought these were pretty neat... Play pixel perfect versions of the games on your regular DVD player:

$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.

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.
