dragons lair trilogy?
lilshawn:
So I sees we have ourselves a new game coming out for the wii...
http://www.dragonslairtrilogy.com/
Me thinks I shall have to see how this game compares to it's originals... I may or may not be downloading it as we speak to play on my mostly-certain-it-might-not-be-modified-to-play-copies-of-games. wii.

Aww....I was hoping there was going to be a real Dragon's Lair 3. I don't quite consider Space Ace a sequel in any right other than in spirit and style. I know there was rumors going on of a Dragon's Lair Movie from Don Bluth, so it would only be fitting that they made another game.
I don't know if I can justify buying yet another version of these games. The wii controls would have to be awfully innovative to make me want to jump on this. Generally, Wii game ports have a history of only over complicating controls rather than improving upon them.
lilshawn:
well, i played it, and i'd have to say it's not bad at all. (from what i can remember of the original.)
no crazy controls, no fancy BS. just a direct port. left right up down and attack. (hold controller sideways.)
for the first there is the option of playing arcade or a "home" version that has the scenes not found in the arcade version, but where on the disk. i haven't had much play on the second or the "third" yet.
i still suck at it though. :lol
for those that are able and interested, give it a try.

I can't bring myself to buy another version of Dragon's Lair. I think I bought it like three times already and it's still that game I play for five minutes and I'm done. I love it for the technology and innovation (not to mention the animation eye-candy), but gameplay-wise it's pretty shallow.
Howard_Casto:
Not quite sure what you are referring to by "technology and innovation". Dragon's lair isn't much more complicated than space invaders, it just looks more complicated due to the laser disc footage. If by innovation you mean the ability to control a laserdisc player via a serial port.... I guess....
I think the bluth games look amazing, but quite frankly they are the most over-rated games in history. Ironically, the best, and most "video-game like" of his was time traveler, and yet nobody liked it.
Note I'm not bad-mouthing laserdisc games though. Laserdisc games had a lot going for them and many were quite fun. But these were the games in which video for graphics made sense (american laser games shooters) or the laser dsic footage was used to enhance traditional gameplay (us Vs them, mach 3, ect...).
What bluth did was make three 20 minute films and somehow shoe-horn them into the video game format. And keep in mind I am a major laser disc game fanatic... just not so much that I am blinded to poor gameplay mechanics.
