It seems Dragon’s Lair was meant to be longer, and contain alternative paths. This is interesting.

I wonder if it was a limitation of the hardware that they had to stick to one path for each scene.

Everything. It was a new technology used in a never before attempted format. There were bottlenecks everywhere, both mechanical and electronic. It is a wonder they got anything working. Compared to Pong and Space Invaders this looked like magical science fantasy though, and it gave hints for the new science and technology of home entertainment systems.@@zippymufo9765

There was a Saturday kids game show called Starcade? I remember they showed the intro where the pig throwing the spear was in it. They also showed where you could go through the smashing door and go left, to the mudmen, straight through the door or right over the up and down pylons. I remember when Dragon's Lair hit my local arcades and always wondered what happened to those scenes. This is the first time I saw the whole pig spear scene.

Not hearing the proper background sounds that were used in the final version was frustrating. Glad they eventually thought of what was used. The sound in the tentacle room is super creepy and it is weird not hearing it (as with most of these scenes).
