Oh WOW...I used to feed a lot of quarters into this game. It was so hard, but I just had to know the ending.

And now I do.

You saved me many quarters, my friend.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

Awesome - Death Cow and I used to pump a lot of quarters into this as well, back in the 8th grade.

Although, I notice this video doesn't have little flashes that show you where to go, or the beep tone when you make the right move.

Just watching this, I keep expecting to see a death scene ... NOBODY got through it without dieing at least once.

Oh and Daphne is hot. (not you Daphne ... err. I mean I'm sure you are ... uhm never mind)

I too pumped many a quarter into this infernal machine in my mis-spent youth. Never did finish it, but I did make it to the Dragon's Lair, if memory serves. Not really a fun game to play, however. You didn't really "control" Dirk the Daring so much as you had to memorise when to push the stick through much trial and error. Very frustrating, but a must-play because in those dark days of 8-bit graphics, we had never seen anything quite like it.

Aww, thanks d- heeeey...wait a minute....

;-)

Yeah, we'd never seen anything like it. So funny to look at it now and remember how "revolutionary" we all thought it would be. I guess we could call this the Grandaddy of "Point and Click" Flash games.

This vid looks like all the in between actions are chopped out. If you enjoyed that as a kid like we did, find Dragon Lair 3D for the PC, it's excellent full 3D moving environment that is a excellent translation and the kids loved it.

deathcrow, this is from the original arcade game from 1984-ish. This is exactly what it looked like...bad edits and cuts that made no sense. The PC game was much cleaner.
