Isn't fiction great? Check out bitches who are still in their damn 20's, who've had kids. Mother Nature is CRUEL to women. IT'S GOOD TO BE MALE!!!!! Ladies, enjoy your short-lived attractiveness. It's gonna be gone in milliseconds.
When I first finished this game as a child, I actually started weeping with joy. Not just because I won after very many painful tries and searching for quarters, but because the ending made me emotional. I helped Dirk rescue his wife and bring her back home to their loving family (their very BIG loving family!). When you play videogames and help make a happy ending like that, you can't help but connect.
Okay I know Beethoven had been 60% deaf by the time he wrote the 5th symphony, but it's clearly the sign of greatness (or artistic madness) when you're so invested in your work that you don't notice or care about FLYING IN THE AIR and your cat TRANSFORMING INTO A FIRE-BREATHING DEMON when you play.
I love Beethoven turning into Elton John briefly. Much of Beethoven's music at the time was often touted as loud and boisterous, and he was known for breaking the piano strings when he played. Very much the Elton of his time.
You know, this game does everything a good sequel should. It improved the graphics, sped up the gameplay, and, surprising for the era, gave some much needed character development for Dirk and Daphne both. We see not only Dirk's daring-do and clumsiness, but his genuine love and sorrow for Daphne when she is captured and seemingly dies. Daphne is just as devoted to both her new husband and her many children. Heck, it's sort of telling that her mother lives with them to help raise the children. Naturally, Dirk is absolutely horrified by her, but I sense a secret respect the two have for one another, and they probably get along well enough for Daphne and the kids' sake. It's a pittance there was never a true blue sequel, and I'm wondering if that movie is ever going to come out.
So Daphne's mother is so strong that Dirk has to fight desperately for his life to avoid being killed by her, and then she also just casually smacks the shit out of and intimidates into submission a giant snake that Dirk had, again, been fighting desperately for his life against. Isn't even slightly threatened by it herself. Jesus Christ, with _that_ kind of overwhelming power, why can't _she_ just go and handle saving Daphne herself rather than attacking Dirk? 🤣
Can that be the plot for Dragon's Lair 3? Daphne Mother: Go find my daugher again now! Dirk:No Way you crazy Bitch you nearly took my head of last time scaring all of my children for life. You go save her yourself!
If everything touching Dirk (e.g., armor, sword, etc) goes with him when he time travels, shouldn't the snake have gone with him as it was wrapped around his neck when he departed?
Daphne is also that powerful and it's an elaborate test to verify that Dirk has the skills, mettle and luck necessary to help form the kwisatz haderach
Ten years after Dragon’s Lair came out (only ever found one machine and it was always ‘out of order) I got to play this version at West Edmonton Mall. Never got past that damned rolling pin.
I wanted to play it but was too young, luckily some guy offered to play it so I could watch. It was in West Edmonton Mall, and He never got passed the rolling pin either.
They should have put one more QTE right at the end, at the moment of the "Congratulations!", just to catch the players off-guard and see all the family squashed against a mountain. xD
Anyone else notice Daphne's shoes keep disappearing and reappearing in the end? Right after they embrace, she kicks her shoes off. Then after they kiss, her shoes are back on her feet. Then while they're flying home, she's barefoot again. And when they arrive home, shoes on again.
I mean, Dirk's helmet was off then it was on with his hair out but when they got home his hair was in. The animation did take a VERY long time so it was probably hard to stay consistent with little details
I think there'd be a lot of mileage in a comedy skit that's basically a support group for video game QTE survivors/victims. You'd see mutilated, burned, smashed, and rent apart versions of Kratos, Dante, Bayonetta, Gabriel Belmont, Nathan Drake, Lara Croft, and all the rest being counseled by Dirk, the group's facilitator and founder 😜
Brought back lots of memories of the arcade and when my now-husband and I were about 16 years old. We played this as a co-op game; I was responsible for the sword and he for the movement of the character. We used so many tokens playing this back then! :D
+Viewer2777771 I feel like this game is more for the person watching over your shoulder - when you play it you don't see what's really happening, you just watch for QTE's
That's the rub of it. The only way you can really win is to not pay attention to the amazing animation, and just focus on what button to push. I didn't realize this when I was 12 and the game first came out in arcades, but some 26 years later, I finally got it.
As someone who loves playing GOD OF WAR on the hardest difficulty i give so much respect to anyone who's ever beaten this game. It obviously requires so much more skill and atleast in the GOW series you can still enjoy the animation.
I played both Dragons Lair and dragons Lair 2 ...man.. i played this at the arcades when it first came out....wow,,i remember a crowd people standing in back of me watching ....like you all said its a brilliant awesome game ...space ace was my favorite...
R.I.P. Hal Smith (1916-1994), aka Owl from Winnie the Pooh, Mr. Whittaker from Adventures in Odyssey, and Otis Campbell from the Andy Griffith Show. He voiced every character that wasn’t in the first game, even Dirk’s mother-in-law.
Great game like the first, and seeing the Looking Glass section here makes me wish Bluth actually had done his own adaptation of the Alice stories in the 80's, imagine what that would have been like.
5:39 "'Twas brillig and the slithy toves, did gyre and gimble in the wabe, all mimsy were the borogroves and the mome raths outgrabe!" Straight from the nonsense poem _Jabberwocky_ by Lewis Carroll :)
rawwslapz It means “‘Twas 4 in the afternoon and the smooth and active lizard-corkscrew-badgers did spin and dig holes in the grass around the sundial. All miserable and flimsy were the scruffy birds, and the lost green pigs made a loud noise.”
Proof that the power of Boners will triumph over evil! And the Beethoven sequence was always my favorite. But I never got the Elton Jon reference until just now! lol
only because the game's input detection was absurdly unfair. you often get moments when you're dead certain you pressed the button but the game went nop.
4:52 Pause it when Dirk crashes into the room on the time machine. There is a hand sticking out of the chair, a small skull, a paper with a drawing, a skull mask, and a Playboy magazine falling with Dirk.
bones22j it probably does, but is just moving too god damn fast. Had to be that way, otherwise those millions of kids would actually have been able to beat the game and wouldnt have been pumping hundreds of dollars worth of quarters into it each week at arcades across the world.
dildonius a knight found a time machine when running away from a morbid barbarian woman in a medieval world and is skipping through different time periods and tales after some witch who is about to turn Daphne into a giant ravenous hog. Makes plenty of sense.
One of the editing errors I noticed is that when Dirk picks up Daphnis, she loses her shoes, but as Dirk carries her back to their kids, her shoes are back on.
Dirk is so nonchalant at the end when he is fighting the weird dinosaur bat things, I get it, you can be sad she is dead mate, but maybe focus on the DINOSAUR BATS TRYING TO KILL YOU!
i thought that at first too, but then i thought about it and realized that 1) if dirk cant evade or defeat his mother in law, what chance does he have against a time traveling, mind controlling wizard? and 2) the mother found out her daughter was kidnapped first, and she goes home to find this nigga dirk just sitting there eating breakfast like it aint no thang. and 3) if she hadnt gotten him out of the house as quickly as she did, he might have been too late to save her. he just BARELY saved her after all. so yeah, mother in law is a pain, but a necessary one
First game and Space Ace had Saturday morning cartoons made of them, shame this DL sequel didn't make it into a second season for the DL cartoon. Shame the Taito laserdisc games, Time Gal, and Ninja Hayate didn't get the same love to see re-release like the 3 games on this compilation did. Dragon's Lair II had far more speech in it than Dragon's Lair, there's also a ton of speech in Space Ace as well. Don Bluth did the Dragon's Lair animation, awesome as usual from the man. Time Gal and Ninja Hayate don't really have speech in them, but TG's Reika sure sounds like she's always having lots of fun in her travel through time, the character from NH also has a lot of expressionism.
OMFG thank you for uploading this. I played this arcade game when I was like 9 years old, could never beat it and couldn't remember what it was called!
just to say ur like legit awesome for finishing this game in such a short time XD, and near the end the Daphne looked like Ursula did it with a lizard Hog
Doing this as a fan, not a solicitor; Don Bluth started a kickstarter for a Dragon's Lair movie www.kickstarter.com/projects/donbluth/dragons-lair-the-movie
Thanks for the video. A couple of suggestions: - If you died because you were paying attention to what was happening in the animation, remember that you're recording this. At the end you can just go back and watch it all like a movie. - Since every death makes you start at the beginning of the scene, you could've just edited the failed attempts out. Nobody would be able to tell, it would look like a perfect run.
Oh yes... and I love that the OP showed some deaths too. When I saw Dirk's skeleton rise up it was like an explosion in my head and I was like OMG I REMEMBER THAT SO HARD. lol!
For me there was a bug in the Egypt level right near the end, with the two bats flying, where it didn't like to register the joystick movement. Had to practically pound on the thing to get by. Still, didn't keep me from one-life-clearing the game with a crowd watching. I felt like a badass.
I bet you're talking about the move where you have to get on the red bat's wing. You didn't have to pound. It just needed to be done extremely late compared to the rest of the game. Like, see the wing flash, wait for 2 seconds, then move. That was only on the arcade version. On PC CD-ROM, it was the same timing as everything else. It may have been a bug, as you said.
There is indiegogo campain run by the very animation god legendary Don Bluth himself to make a movie from this. But he needs financial support from us.
I used to play the old DOS version which was far inferior compared to this version with several missing scenes and absolutely no indicator as to when you are supposed to press a button so it's all guesswork.
Your son in law can't exactly save your daughter if you kill him lady
That's exactly what I thought when I first saw that scene!
I bet anything he couldn't go and rescue her sooner cause he had to wait on her so someone would be watching the kids.🤣
She’s not gonna KILL him… she just wants to TALK to him… *insert Family Guy joke of Peter loading a shot gun.* shes just gonna TALK to him…

I helped Dirk rescue his wife and bring her back home to their loving family (their very BIG loving family!).

I appreciated that comment
You were right to be so emotional and happy for them.

Okay I know Beethoven had been 60% deaf by the time he wrote the 5th symphony, but it's clearly the sign of greatness (or artistic madness) when you're so invested in your work that you don't notice or care about FLYING IN THE AIR and your cat TRANSFORMING INTO A FIRE-BREATHING DEMON when you play.
What I find weird about him is that moment when he was dressed like...well, I assume he was dressed like Elton John from the 70s.
Bluth put that in for comedy.
I love Beethoven turning into Elton John briefly. Much of Beethoven's music at the time was often touted as loud and boisterous, and he was known for breaking the piano strings when he played. Very much the Elton of his time.
Make sense considering his compensating for lack of hearing.
If Dirk's Mother-in-law wants Dirk to rescue her daughter again, THEN WHY IS SHE TRYING TO KILL HIM?!
Flack Jacket Probably so fed up that Dalphne is kidnapped a lot
Nathaniel A yep

Because bad mother-in-laws. God help us.
Because she's a bitch.
@lepetitgarçonsinsocks Still a bitch though.

It improved the graphics, sped up the gameplay, and, surprising for the era, gave some much needed character development for Dirk and Daphne both. We see not only Dirk's daring-do and clumsiness, but his genuine love and sorrow for Daphne when she is captured and seemingly dies.

Jesus Christ, with _that_ kind of overwhelming power, why can't _she_ just go and handle saving Daphne herself rather than attacking Dirk? 🤣
Can that be the plot for Dragon's Lair 3?
Daphne Mother: Go find my daugher again now!
Dirk:No Way you crazy Bitch you nearly took my head of last time scaring all of my children for life. You go save her yourself!
You know the answer: there’s the remains of the castle there… had she gone, there’d be NO remains of that castle
If everything touching Dirk (e.g., armor, sword, etc) goes with him when he time travels, shouldn't the snake have gone with him as it was wrapped around his neck when he departed?
You think Dirk can handle all 8 kids alone?!
Daphne is also that powerful and it's an elaborate test to verify that Dirk has the skills, mettle and luck necessary to help form the kwisatz haderach
This must be a fairy tale... Daphne's still got that killer figure after having 12 kids.
Ten years after Dragon’s Lair came out (only ever found one machine and it was always ‘out of order) I got to play this version at West Edmonton Mall. Never got past that damned rolling pin.
No doubt. Not even monsters are safe from her rolling pin.
I wanted to play it but was too young, luckily some guy offered to play it so I could watch. It was in West Edmonton Mall, and He never got passed the rolling pin either.
Don Bluth is a legend, but i can't help but think he was a little high on somthing making this.
raccoon681 lmao not just a little
Who wasn't high on something back then?
High on his love for animation, baby!
Like he said "With animation, ANYTHING is possible."
Nah it was just another way to stick it up to Disney's.

I'm definitely appreciative and a little jealous of how she looks but not that she has any kids 😍 I would 100% tap that.

This game was made for fucking superhumans.
only because the game's input detection was absurdly unfair.
you often get moments when you're dead certain you pressed the button but the game went nop.
Princess Daphne in her monster form she looks like Ursula a little :/
It fits because Don Bluth used to work for Disney
Well this one certainly went a bit more... how should I put it...? Wherever it wanted to go.
Damn they had a lot of kids haha since the first game
Yeah i agree on that
Guess birth control doesn't exist in their world
Well look at Daphne. Wouldn't you？
I guess it's magic
Well, Dirk's never eating Daphne's cooking before bedtime again.

One of the editing errors I noticed is that when Dirk picks up Daphnis, she loses her shoes, but as Dirk carries her back to their kids, her shoes are back on.
Every time Daphne shouts, I hear a puppy in pain
Disney sued the likeness characters. If they had won, they would have made a movie. But they lost.

Dat Girl is such a squeaker...
She broke through the castle because she was angry at the knight to save her daughter from that same castle 🏰

At the start, it's like wtf the mother in law is trying to kill Dirk for losing Daphne but he's also the only guy who can save Daphne.

I remember this arcade game. I never got more than 10 seconds into it before i was killed ,so I gave up on it.
The time machine and Mordoc was voiced by the late Hal Smith.
Even the mother in law.

I wish this was a movie.
+IWasAPepper Your wish will be coming soon in time, the guy who animated this recently announced he's making the official movie
There is indiegogo campain run by the very animation god legendary Don Bluth himself to make a movie from this. But he needs financial support from us.
ethan philpot is he actually? Nice ;)
They won’t make this movie guys also don bluth already cancelled it you guys no offense they won’t
@@igorhq1he cancelled since back than he was gotta put it on Netflix man 😒
Wow, they used the same noises for Beethoven's cat as they did for Dragon in Secret of NIMH!
Don Bluth provided the animation for that cartoon as well. Good job noticing that!!
17:57 “Daphine? Your alive! This is the best-“
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH
His entire game is a big lip alligator moment
Don bluth actually was the one that created the big lip alligator moment
9 kids and still stacked like a brick house.

Snake: Thief.
Dirk's mother-in-law: Oh, shut up! (hits the snake with a rolling pin)
3:00 Hal Smith plays the mother and the evil wizard.
Holy cow like half your deaths were at the last minute of the game.
Before Cuphead.... we had this game
I think the Cheshire Cat was reciting the opening to "Jabberwocky" to tick off the Jabberwock.
I recognize Hal Smith's voice. Cool!
For those who want to skip the tutorial part, the actual gameplay begins about a minute in.
I used to play the old DOS version which was far inferior compared to this version with several missing scenes and absolutely no indicator as to when you are supposed to press a button so it's all guesswork.
11:33 That laugh! 😊❤️ So cute! 😊❤️
This game is so awesome!
The1Dragonprincess yeh, and an improvement from the first one
Let this be a lesson, Mordroc: You can't love or marry someone who doesn't even love you back.
6:52-7:03
Chesire Cat: "Twas bryllyg, and ye slythy toves. Did gyre and gymble in ye wabe: All mimsy were ye borogoves; and ye mome raths outgrabe."
With such energy, the mother herself could perfectly save her own daughter.
