Blu-ray review: Dragon’s Lair

Blu-ray
How much you get out of Dragon’s Lair on Blu-ray will unsurprisingly depend on how fond your memories are of the arcade original. This is undeniably the best it has ever looked (although pointless “restoration” techniques incompetently applied prevent it from reaching its full potential), and the bonus features are uniformly excellent. However, I personally struggle to find a single kind word to say about the game itself, while there is no guarantee that the disc will work correctly or at all if you do not own one of the small number of players on which it was tested prior to release, thanks to the blasé attitude of the Blu-ray Disc Association regarding the format’s interactive functionality. Caveat emptor, as the saying goes.

For DVD Times’ first ever review of interactive HD content, I dig up some 80s nostalgia for a review of the Blu-ray adaptation of the popular arcade hit Dragon’s Lair.

So, looks like a satisfying version of the Dragon is still far away. 16:9 instead of 4:3, random scenes, software problems... enough, please. There's no peace for Dirk and Daphne! (how cutely sexy was she? You young generation cannot understand :-P)
