The classic laser disc-based arcade game Dragon’s Lair will be back and looking better than ever this fall when Digital Leisure releases a high-definition PC DVD ROM version of the title, which features hand-drawn animation by Don Bluth. In addition to pulling the film master from the vaults at Technicolor and giving it an HD shine job, Digital Leisure has cleaned up the original audio and added a completely new, five-channel surround sound audio mix.
‘Dragon’s Lair HD is an achievement no classic gamer will want to be without,’ boasts Digital Leisure president Elizabeth Foster. ‘With the power of today’s computers, gamers can now enjoy Dragon’s Lair the way it was meant to be seen. The quality of the animation is absolutely stunning and the surround sound mix will have you looking over your shoulder!’
As with the original 1982 version, Dragon’s Lair HD will have players controlling the actions of Dirk the Daring, a valiant knight on a quest to rescue the fair princess Daphne from the clutches of an evil dragon and other treacherous monsters and obstacles that await in a medieval castle enchanted by a dark wizard.
Digital Leisure specializes in acquiring and re-mastering existing video-intensive titles. The company plans to follow-up Dragon’s Lair HD with HD releases of Bluth’s Space Ace and Dragon’s Lair II: Time Warp. Dragon’s Lair HD will be available this fall at game retailers and at www.digitalleisure.com.
