I don’t usually post news, but I thought this was a nice little surprise. One of the artists and developers for the DS port of Dragon’s Lair has posted some insider sneak peeks (videos and screenshots) of an alpha release of the game. The game is being developed by United Coders and published by Conspiracy Entertainment. According to Gamespot, Dragon’s Lair II: Time Warp, and Space Ace will both also be ported to the DS at a later date.
Dragon’s Lair has always drawn serious polarities from gamers – some people (like me) have fond memories of dumping $20 worth of quarters into it at the local arcade; others find the game unforgiving or simply unrewarding. According to the source of this news clip, the game has both a “classic” 1983 mode that is identical to the original game, and a new mode that makes use of the DS’s stylus and microphone.

Oh goodie goodie! Count me on the excited side of the fence for this one. I recall hearing rumors about Dragon’s Lair reappearing on new hardware, but hadn’t seen anything new in months, so figured it was vaporware. I shudder to recall how many quarters I spent on this game. Boy, did I ever have a crush on Princess Daphne!
Thanks for the heads-up, Chris!
