Dragons Lair was an interesting/frustrating game that looked beautiful. I was just a child so I sucked at it but my father was amazing and could finish it in a single go. His frustration was that he wanted to play other games and I wanted to see him play Dragons Lair.

[@brianmulholland2467]

I can't believe they lumped Dragon's Lair into one of these. The game was BRUTALLY unforgiving, and clearly was just a quarter-eater, but it was innovative and spectacular. I wouldn't put it on a list of best-anything, but neither does it belong on a list of most ridiculous.

[@BigSmiley0TV]

Yeah i was so excited when i saw it and then recall the sticker schock, so would try and watch others play it so i could try and figure how to play it, though never saw much, before i had to give up waiting for others, and pretty much remember losing a few bucks nearly immediately, which seemed to be the same thing i saw happen whenever i watched others play

Rabies is treatable if you receive a series of injections IMMEDIATELY after being bitten by a rabid animal, before symptoms develop. If wait until you start showing symptoms of rabies, it’s too late. There’s no reversal of progression at that point. What people don’t realize is it’s usually obvious if an animal is rabid. And they usually die quickly from the virus as well. So most animals aren’t rabid, but you should be treated just in case. I used to work for the department of public health in New Jersey.

[@rhov-anion]

My brother mastered Dragon's Lair back in the day. He and my cousins wrote down what moves to do, each taking turns with what few coins they had. It took a few trips to the arcade before he finally made it all the way to the end, with a crowd watching and my cousin reading aloud which combo came next. I can see why it would be in a museum. This was BEFORE Mario, Tetris, Metroid, Dragon Quest, and Bomberman. It was futuristic, immersing yourself into an interactive cartoon straight out of Saturday mornings, rather than watching a blocky Italian stereotype jump on mushrooms.

When I was a kid in the 80s, I remember getting a big high paying paper route. They paid a whopping 12 cents a paper. Other papers I delivered would pay about 7 cents or even less. So, this paper route was 6 days a week. Yes, really. Plus on Tuesdays, there was about a hundred or so mini news papers that were 1 cent each to deliver. Ya, I totally threw a bunch in a bush a couple times. Also, added to all this fun was collecting the subscription money myself. The people I delivered to paid me and I paid the paper company. Ya, so people who refused to pay meant I had to become a pint sized child collections agent. Add to that, that the papers weighed so much that after a while my veribrate was twisted out of alignment by the paper bag and caused me back problems through most of my teens. So, ya, I'd rather play a paperboy video game any day of the week over the real thing. A psychotic granny and homicidal lawnmower is nothing compared to the abuse the newspaper companies doled out.

@@americantopteam135s-t7 I hate to be this person, but.... Actually that is not at ALL what AD/HD is. As someone who also has it, I can speak from experience. I do not have the "poor concentration" component, however. What I have is a lesser-known variant: hyper-focus. I have to take AD/HD medications so that I can actually **be** distracted at times. I actually applied myself in school, graduated from college, got a certificate in my field, got an advanced certificate in my field, and have a successful career. Yes, some people have, to use your words, "poor concentration, judgment, and lack of requisite self control" as AD/HD symptoms. Others don't. Additionally, again, to use your words, "poor concentration, judgment, and lack of requisite self control" are not only symptoms of AD/HD, but also of other mental health conditions as well. Do your research before making this kind of ignorant comment about a diagnosis like AD/HD again. Sorry to burst your stereotyping bubble about people with AD/HD.

Dragon's Lair was one of those games where most people would do what Danny did when he first encountered it, and then never play it again out of frustration.

I thought Dragon's Lair was easy, it only took me and 2 friends a weekend to master, I think it was under $5 for each to master at 40 cents play. I believe it used to flash which way you were to go, and in most scenes, it was easy to know which way to push the joystick. At the arcade I went to it was the game with a Video Screen above the cabinet so people could watch how good or bad you were. Getting to the end was easy, doing it 20 years later, took me 3 lives but I still could do it. when I played it at a Nickel arcade.

Dragon's Lair is admittedly a bit of a crap game but it COMPLETELY deserves the Smithsonian spot. Pong was the first commercial videogame. Pac-man, I think, was the first really successful videogame, and Dragon's Lair was both revolutionary AND showed how great of a potential videogames have as an art form.

​@@Adjuni Pong is NOT the first ARCADE video game, Galaxy Game per dated Pong by a few months, but it cost far too much for a mass-market release like Pong. Even that was not the first video game that had been created in 1958 by Physicist William Higinbotham it was based on a simple Tennis game, not sure it even had a name. Dragon's Lair, Pong, and Galaxy Game are in MAME, the other one is not. Galaxy Game is running on a PDP-11, unlike Pong which was a circuit board and could be cheaply made. Dragon's Lair was the first to use a Laserdisc and let the player choose the scenes to be played, in fact, the deleted but Animated one Scene before releasing of the game.

@@quantumleaper Yeah, I should have been clearer on Pong.

Mostly it's truck stops (Diesel stations for long haul trucks) that have buffets. Food quality ranges from school cafeteria to home cooking.

When I went to Afghanistan we did have a few infantry soldiers that cannot adapt. They were put on tower guard or they rode around with the shitsucking tank and cleaned the porta johns. You always need bodies to fulfill rolls KP trash details or tower guard

I'm a bit surprised that in all the conversation about celebrity tie-ins to video games, there wasn't a single mention of "Mike Tyson's Punch-Out".

I don't know if Gas Station buffets are a thing in America... But in Portugal they absolutely are. Except the food actually doesn't suck. Then again, it's extremely difficult to find garbage food in Portugal. You'll have to go to a McDonald's to find that.

I seem to remember of the main appeal of “Dragon’s Lair” was the impractically skimpy clothing that the damsel in distress was wearing.

[@ImNotJust]

Im so grateful to have found this. Long form Simon just riffing and pissing about gives me life.

[@Winterydee]

I loved the video... except for Danny's take on Dragon's Lair! Yes it was a timing & memorization based game and that sucked for young players (like myself at the time of its release) an was damn expensive for the time. However it helped show a major leap in the possibility of storytelling in video games along with audio and video capabilities. It really showed that hardware can be a great limiter or enabler of the budding video game industry.

Next time I need a laugh, this is what I'll watch. Sam has turned the editing up to 11!! 🤣😎

The best way for Shaq-fu to make up for the sins of the past, is for Shaq to go around beating up the original developers.

Sam OMG I almost choked on my drink during that ADHD section! EPIC !!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

That was the most insanely off the rails pitch for a product I’ve ever sat through. And the only one to work on me immediately. Checking out Magellan right away. 😂

[@essenlame]

I love the videos when Simon goes totally off script!

[@amandajones661]

Me too!! I love it so much! 😅

[@TwoWholeWorms]

I played Dragon's Lair in the Trocadero, waaaaaaaaay after it was released. xD That thing was bloody brilliant, seriously. Way ahead of its time.

[@phillygirl5957]

The begining of this video was sponsored by Cocaine.....Watching how Simon bumbled around speaking gibberish to start this vid is why he needs his coke fix....🤣😂🤣👍💜 Much love from Philadelphia

Gas station buffet? It's called a truckstop.

Danny, is a Czech basement an upgrade over Rotherham, or is it about the same?

43:25 _"Dragons' Lair"..._ i remember this particular turd (imo). This game required you to make a choice in .000005 seconds or you die. $1.00 to play the p.o.s., and i was _never_ on it for more than 45 seconds, & most of that was loading time! Played it 4x, never played it again. ...i always wondered what was beyond the initial drop down a shaft. Never made it beyond. Never seen anyone pass that point, either.
