Collector interest

ReadySoft's port of Don Bluth's laserdisc, this Dragon's Lair holds a historic place as a record of interactive animation reaching the Sega add-on. The Japanese release carries several interface languages (English, Japanese, French, German, Italian), an unusual touch for a Japan-market title. Its desirability rests on the founding status of the Bluth franchise in gaming and on the curiosity of a great arcade classic rebuilt as CD-based QTE.
