Dragon's Lair and
its sequel were a pain in the ass. The beauty of the animation gave way to trial-and-error gameplay that was extra frustrating due to the fact every error would cost you a quarter or two.
Such is the point of the video arcade, I suppose. In fact, many classic arcade games fail to do very well when ported to consoles or iOS simply because the lack of quarter muncher removes the challenge - infinite lives and infinite continues are simply a button press away.
Still,
Dragon's Lair 2 is a beaut, and it's certainly a great game to have to show off to kids or family members who wanna get a little wowed by some quality animation and creative puzzle solving.
At the very least, there's nothing else like it, and heck, I thought Dragon's Lair 2 was made with all holograms. Looks like I was wrong.
