Dragon's Lair comes to DSiWare
Don Bluth's then-groundbreaking laserdisc game,
Dragon's Lair, is being ported to DSiWare. The classic arcade game has shown up on several different platforms over the years but with quick-time events so common these days, it hasn't aged well. It's a good fit for the DSiWare platform though. It's pretty amazing that back in the 80s they needed a huge laserdisc to store the animation data and today it can be streamed right to your DS and stored on internal flash memory. Dragon's Lair will be available on December 21st.
