Courtesy of GameRoom Magazine and just in-time for your Christmas wish-list, here is the Dragon's Lair HD-DVD review from the current (December) issue of GameRoom...

"Dragon's Lair: the fantasy adventure where you become a valiant knight on a quest to rescue the fair princess from the clutches of an evil dragon."

That might sound like the intro to a lame Saturday morning cartoon, but for many arcade kids out there the arrival of Dragon's Lair (and its lame intro voice-over) is a landmark memory. Seemingly out of nowhere, a game of a completely higher caliber landed at their local gaming haven and despite costing 50c per game players unloaded their pocket-money. Dragon's Lair took arcades by storm; it was so successful that I've heard tales of arcade operators installing additional monitors above the cabinet, so the crowds waiting for their chance to play could watch in awe. Looking back and comparing Dragon's Lair to its contemporaries, it is still hard to believe that this game was in arcades back in 1983.
