Of the growing list, which Daphne games are considered 'good'?

[releasedtruth]

I love Daphne and of course DL and SA, but I've seen a growing list of games I've never heard of and of those 20 or so, what's any good? Bega's Battle, not so hot as far as I can tell. Badlands doesn't play right, but it's pretty cool. Roadblasters, Don Quixote, both cool, but the others?

Cliff Hanger and Thayer's Quest are good games although I have never played them all the way through on daphne so I am not sure if there are bugs/glitches.

Perhaps someone can answer me this. I know it's possible to adapt the Digital Leisure games to work without a Laser Disk on Daphne. Has anything like that been done for the other Daphne games? I recall reading that someone was trying to rebuild Cliff Hanger from the original Japanese cartoon that it came from. I also recall that someone had re-worked Thayer's Quest for PC CD-Rom, so that content is out there somewhere. Or should I just be happy to have Space Ace and the two Dragon's Lairs?

Thayers quest would be a bit of a problem, the original game had a keyboard, not something you can really do easily on a mame box..

there is a keyboard emulator, but i havent tried it..

After seeing some of Thayer's quest, I think I'll have a go at the keyboard setup since I'm using a wireless for the mame cab. With so many games to play, I'm having trouble deciding whether or not to go to the trouble of enabling all the Daphne and other emu games. I mean at least until I beat Bad Dudes and Caveman Ninja.

A better question would be which games aren't any good.  Imho the only one to pass up is thayer's quest, not because it's a bad game, but because of the whole keyboard deal. 

Btw that keyboard emulator posted, that's so you can use a pc keyboard on a tq laserdisc (which I'm assuming nobdy has), it doesn't have anything to do with daphne. 

The upcoming release of daphne will allow you to put any digital leisure dvd in your pc and it'll verify and download the appropriate, pre-ripped video. 

Cliffy was "remastered" using the original dvds like you said, but afaik the guy who did it fell off the face of the earth and it was never released.  Tq was released for dvd rom recently, but imho it looks awful, mainly becuase they couldn't get ahold of the master and well, tq has crappy animation ayway.  Of course dl, dl2 and space ace have been out there for ages.

The rest of the games don't have dvd versions available, although the upcoming daphne will apparently help you locate rips of the laserdiscs.
