The classic laserdisc video game Dragon's Lair has made its way to the App Store this evening. Originally released to the arcade in 1983, this full motion animated game was a massive departure from the other games of the era.

This is a game I can get behind. I remember when this got installed in the arcade at Kerr Union at Bloomsburg University when I was about 9 or 10. That was during a time when half of the downstairs of the Union was a giant arcade with billiard tables and games everywhere. Not only is the game play ridiculous by today's standards, but just the thought of a University investing money into a gaming center is surprising ... oh wait, never mind.
The best arcade in the entire city was on the UCalgary campus, in the student's union building. now, it's a pathetic remnant of its former glory. stupid console gaming...
