Dragon's Lair has always been such a simple game in terms of gameplay, with simple joystick movements timed to the on screen action being the games only input. But the design and style of the original arcade game meant the game was much more than just the simplistic control.

The death scenes are definitely some of the best seen in any game and definitely one of the most amusing parts of the game.

The Amiga version lost some of the arcade originals polish, and some of the parts of the game were reduced to fit it all onto a hand full of floppy discs, but it is still a great fun game to play and enjoy.

Once learned by heart, it was easy to complete the game over and over again. Best part was to try out the different deaths of Dirk, which made me like him even more, as it was funny only watching him die.

But I don't think that the amgia version can actually be on par with the arcade version, as the laserdisc version look was quite amazing at the time.

I think that an overall rating of 9 is a bit high, and I would definitely give it a 7-7.5, not more.
