Save me!

Darks Sousl es para bebés en comparación a esto 😂

Get ye flask! GET YE FLASK!

Seeing this reminds me how poor I was growing up, I could never afford to get very far on this game, even on Space Invader's - PWT (Poor white trash)

Spent my allowance on this game at then mall as 12, 13, 14 year old.

This is it? It seems to me it's nothing but quick-time events.

A whole lotta my quarters eaten by this game.

I NEVER saw anyone play that game to completion.

I swear, Dirk The Daring is the most inept knight to ever exist as a character, but the message to me as a kid was clear. No matter how dorky you are, always strive to be the biggest and best man you can be, always do right, be honorable, and never give up on your goals. Sounds like an after school special right? Well, it worked for me.

The issues with the game was 1 death and the game was over. Very costly to play.

I could never quite get to grips with the timing of the moves of the arcade game, but it was truly marvellous to watch someone play it right - especially considering it was the 80s! There wasnt anything quite like it.

Dude I LOVED THIS GAME!

I remember the local arcade had this and Space Ace. The problem was, the games were always broken. 😂

Fuck this game. It stole so much money and time. I don't think it was ever fun. Just aggravation and anger. When I went to the arcade my parents told me I was banned from that game because of my attitude after trying to play it and I tried to rip the joystick off due to anger temper tantrums

1:47

kinda sucks this way though without dying you never get to see daphne enough times to make you want to play more

Boy, this takes me back to my teenage years at the arcade. When I played the game, it skipped over the part where Dirk entered the castle. It would start at 0:15. Back In My Day, there weren't any arrows to guide you either. I've never seen that before. 6:00 - Ah yes, the Black Knight. My nemesis. 8:20 - TIL that Jim Morrison used to refer to himself as "The Lizard King" because he believed that he could communicate with reptiles. Just Say No, kids. 10:24 - The Dragon's Lair!

5:01 LOL He sound like Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz! "AHH! CURSE YOU, PERRY THE PLATYPUS!"

Those points were like Jump Over Snake +6294. Walk Through Door +129683. Kill Giant Skeleton +941. Do Whatever 🤷🏻‍♂️ +2748

Dope game used to play it as a kid before school.

😮 so this game is literally just quick time events?

I remember not getting past ghost horse as a kid. The latency timing was always different in each arcade. Basically a scam. $5 gone in less than 10 minutes was a lot for a 12 year old who worked and saved in the 80s

This game was so hard when I was a kid

She’s giggles like she fixed the playing field from the start, and watched his struggles with amusement, with each universe that ended in failure feeding her need for a blood sacrifice… WATCH OUT, DIRK! SHE’S A SUCCUBUS! MAYBE EVEN A BELDAM!

Dragons Lair is beautiful, it it’s not really a game. I’d rather just watch an animation than having to press a button every so often…

what's up with the number counter in the upper right corner?

So was this Disney or something?

One of the Fabulous Furry Freak Bro's!

bro earlier this week i was thinking of a game i played with my dad when i was a kid, and this was the game😭 i thiught i was tweaking or smth cuz i couldnt remember the name

It was more than a quarter 😢.

I remember I loved the Gauntlet arcade game more back in the 1980s.

Loved comics and animation and Suddenly! this NEW game arrived at a local arcade. The animation looked incredible, not knowing how to play it properly , it ate a small fortune in coins. I wanted to see the whole thing, left frustrated 41 years ago. Thanks for posting this , I finally got to see the whole thing 😊

Was watching a Gameranx video on the 30 worst consoles of all time, and I was praying they wouldn’t mention the Sega Multi-Mega (which was a Sega Genesis and Sega CD in a compact size), thankfully they didn’t. But that’s where I remember playing this game in the early/mid 90s, and my brother and I could never beat it. Every time we got to a part to use your sword we didn’t know what button to press and seemingly nothing worked. Here I am 30 years later finally getting to see how it ended, and good lord the animator really like to draw a woman, lmao 😂🤣.

To this day this game creeps me out. All the sounds just feel off. Even the sound when you win sounds off. And those laughing skeletons no thankd

I loved the intro which you don't see here.. I remember playing this and throwing many coins in it because I was terrible at it. Still quite a beautiful game for that time.

This game was harder than Falconhoof.

I had a love/hate relationship with this game. I would spend my entire allowance trying to get good at it. I was only ten so I wasn't coordinated and fast enough. But I still loved it though

Dragons Lair, TI-99/4A, Then Arcade at Collin Creek Mall and then PC 486 DX2 66 MHz 3.5 disk.

4:53 This scene still makes me laugh, that he bravely fights against the sword and the mace, but the moment the anvil gets picked up, he just dips

A blue-eyed blonde girl, a cross shaped sword to slay the dragon. Not 2024 or sure.

It really does sucks we didn't get a dragons lair movie. If it was going to be the same animation and the characters looking the same I think it would of been a damn good movie

All I can say is: Go Dean Fernari! Send Gary Janthony and Janthoneeze's packing! Nobody wants to listen to Tony "spinning" at 1:30am.

I was today years old when I found out Ryan Reynolds does his voice

I can't believe this game was released in Arcades in 1983!

Just recently played this game for the first time at our small town arcade, and i must admit this is incredible, however i dont understand how someone is supposed to figure out what to do. Sometimes it seems that you have to move one way because of the way the cartoon is drawn, but really you have to go a different direction, and other times you think that you can fight something, but you just have to dodge it instead. I dunno, maybe i just have a skill issue, but this is still a great game regardless!

There really should have been a scene in which Dirk the Daring almost falls into a pit full of snakes. Then he moans, "Snakes. Why'd it have to be snakes?"

Classic arcade game to bad it was a role playing game

Great games and pinball machines in the 80s, nothing really to match that era of electronic fun.

This chick must really be a firecracker to go to this kind of trouble lol
