Better than expected play.

What a flood of memories this game brought back when playing on the PC. The game makers set out to duplicate the arcade version of the game for home users and that is exactly what was accomplished. The majority of the game play was exactly re-created for the new generation of gamers seeking a little bit of yesteryear and the way in which video games evolved. Fortunately, with the additional versions being offered with this anniversary set, the game was well worth the purchase price. Considering I didn't have the funds to try and complete Dragon's Lair 2 and Space Ace in their original incarnation. I was excited to try and learn how one might win out against these versions in the home format. This one is definitely one for the avid old school games.

Nostalgia-filled fun!

I have always been a fan of these games since they first came out when I went to the arcade & hugged my dollar tight while watching other kids play for hours so I could get my money's worth! Just as much fun as I remember. Not the most interactive game in the world but more than enough fun to pass the time in between working from home & marathon sessions of MMORPGs! Not as much fun once you've mastered them but still kinda cool to show off to the kids/neices/nephews/what-have-you when they come over. Not getting nearly as much burn as it did when I first got it but still jump on it every now & then ...

Retro 80s oldschool

If you grew up in the 80s and remember the greatness of Saturday morning cartoons then this is for you. The animation is beautiful but the digital transfer was a bit grainy. A lot of fun and extremely hard. Comes with DL1 and DL2 plus space Ace .

Just like the arcade

DL was the first thing I've ever order from Amazon and it made it to my door step in less then 72 hours with standard shipping. The merchant delivered exactly what they say they would, new in the box. Thanks you Amazon

Classic arcade LD games on PC!

I played all three of these games when they were released to the arcades. They were revolutionary then and just as much fun now as they were then. Game play is identical to the original games as the graphics look great on my 20 inch LCD. I once owned a Dragons Lair / Space Ace conversion arcade console. It had the laser disc for each game and a ROM that you had to change out to convert over. I'll bet its worth more now than I sold it for but buying these for the PC satisfies the nostalgic craving without taking up a lot of space! Highly recommended!

Exactly like I remember

I wasted many quarters in the arcade in the 80's playing these games, and they are, for the most part, as I remember them. Game play is exactly the same, but the video is MPEG, so the quality is not the greatest, but is acceptable. The resolution on DL and SA is better then DL-II for some reason - I had to play DL-II in a window rather than full screen so it didn't look terrible (literally), but DL and SA looked pretty good full-screen on a 20" LCD monitor.

A big waste of money

This had to be the biggest waste of money I ever spend on Amazon. No directions or instructions on how to play the games. The video quality isn't really that good and it's slow reacting to the keyboard. Into the wastebasket it goes.

Mediocre video quality, but the game play is crisp and tight.

I was disappointed with the video quality - it looks like a second generation video copy. So I went and blew almost $70 on the DVD-ROM HD version of just Dragon's Lair. The HD version's quality was great but the game play was laggy and scenes would start half-way into the action on occasion. Before you say I need a better computer do note that this was on a Core 2 Duo e6600 with a Geforce 7600GT video card. The CD-ROM version's gameplay is much snappier, plus you get Dragon' Lair II, Space Ace, and a lot of "Making Of" type material on the extras disc. In the end, I would say get both of them. ^_^

Whew! I couldn't rate the playing as I have not gotten the courage to try it yet. I had this game before but at the time had windows 95 and game was for windows 98 so couldn't load it. I have always been curious about it so got it. Have just watched the play for the graphics and see how it is played. Wow ... for me the graphics are great but can see it might be over my head as you use the keyboard for play. I'm a grandma over 59 and I just haven't gotten up the nerve to try it yet. I think this one might be over my head (or to quick for my fingers)! For experienced game players I think they would like it. Seems to have quite a few levels of play. P.S. Had to rate the fun so gave it a 3 because I just don't know about actual play yet.

Don Bluth's masterpieces

I find it amazing how well I remember the sounds, button time presses, and overall presentation of Dragon's Lair from when I was young. Running through it once more with this packaged set was nostalgic and fun. I still think this is one of the most exciting games I ever played. Of course, after purchasing this package I was able to try my hand at two of the other great games in the series Space Ace and Dragon's Lair II. These two are equally creative and fun (if not slightly more difficult) and are worth one's time and money especially if you're a Don Bluth fan.
