Dragon's Lair Full Playthrough

I was the first to beat this game at my local arcade

Very first tell tale game haha

I was too young to play this game in the arcaded but I played it as a teenager on CD-ROM. I remember getting to the Dragon and was nervous my mom would walk in for the princess scenes.

666K VIEWS!!!! SOMEBODY CALL AN EXTERMINATOR QUICK 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱


Anywho, I love it!!!!

Dragon's Lair aka "eater of quarters". Seriously, the only other arcade I remember chowing on my allowance more was Metal Slug.

After all of that he better have gotten laid...

I remember that I really sucked at it and that it cost a whopping TWO quarters to play.

I never got far into that game, I didn't realize it was that long. More than a few repeated sequences, which surprises me. Was a great game, and fun to just watch

I enjoyed watching people get through the first part just to die 2 seconds while celebrating.

In the end was it worth it to save an unspoiled maiden?!

No, GOT has taught me whoring with broads was the best!!!

This is the first game that was done on a laser disc. If you had a laser disc player, you could've watched it but not played it. When the game was no longer popular, the manager of my local arcade gave me the disc since i had a player. Some of the perks of working there.

Was on vacation with family at Hampton Beach New Hampshire. There was this arcade that had the game right in the middle and a 12-inch color TV on top of the cabinet. About a dozen played and failed. I decided to play it and got all the way to saving the princess. On the very last move I purposely wipeout twice to build even more of a suspense. Man were the people pushing to see if i could chi it. Of course i did. When i got to the last animation, I turned around and i was stunned at how crowded it had become. I literally had to push my way out of the crowd. I turned around and watched the rest of the animation and the people's expressions.

The power of laserdiscs... still got mine.

This game and Star Wars sit in was the pinnacle

This guy better get laid at the end… does the princess have ANY idea how hard to was to get to her!?

This guy is the CrossFit parkour Olympic world champion

This was one of the first games to have an end goal. Most games at the time would keep going until you failed.

This should be titled “How to spend $100,000 in quarters”

And then the second one he's running from his mother in law

One helluva medieval acid trip

I loved watching people play this but knew to stay away from it with my tokens. This game would suck your five dollars of allowance up in ten minutes.

I never got far in that game

This was the hardest game ever I couldn't get past 3 minutes in ... ugh

As I remember, this was one of the most aggravating arcade games ever!

Oh i remember playing this in the arcade... Best game ever!

Loved this game...I beat it once...after a lot of practice😊

I remember none of us could figure out how to play this game. We told the store owner and it just disappeared. There were no clear instructions.

This game was the first to employ a laserdisc player inside. It cost a dollar to play in 1984 and every death at a pitfall would end the game. I think there were 23 total encounters that you had to master a certain set of moves in order to survive. You got nothing but bragging rights if you won. Oh, and any jerk could TILT the game if you were about to beat their high score, so you had to play when the arcade was empty.

When this came out it was revolutionary, a precursor of things to come but I never thought much of it. As a game it was just a collection of gimmicks with no story and no personality. It never gained a following as far as I saw and faded into obscurity pretty quickly. Just shows it takes more than tech to make a good game.

How depressing. I never, ever managed to get even 30 seconds into the game.

I'd wait for the guy before me die, get fed up, and quit. I'd take my $.25 cent coins ($.50 cents to play, twice as a normal game then. Yikes!) off the edge of the console indicating my place in line to play next. Then start the game with nobody around me. But then, as people could see by looking at the second console monitor up top that allowed everyone to see the game being played, I wasn't dying and I was moving past each challenge and on to the next. Around half way to the end I'd have half the arcade watching my game on the top monitor, as I got up to and passed parts people ether never seen before or just kept dying on. Always knew I had a crowd, but had to stay focus to the end. And then finally...the Dragon's Lair. Almost nobody has seen it, so now I hear guys calling their friends over to see it. Get the magic sword, slay the dragon, get the key, then free hot af Princess Daphne. I won so many times that after the last swing I used to just turn, move through to the back of large crowd gathered around me, and watch them watching my end scene with hot af Daphne jumping into Derk's arms. Man, so much fun. The good old days. Thanks for the memories. 😉

He went through all that and found out she was Trans...

The number of quarters this represents in mind blowing....

I’m just envisioning how utterly impossible this game must have been. What were the input choices? Joystick directions? Action buttons? Combination of both?

I didn't remember him sounding like Homer Simpson.😂

I beat this game only once

I never played this game at the arcade because it cost 2 or 3 times as much as a regular game. This is the first time I've seen it beaten.

I threw away so many quarters into this frustration machine back then. 😂

I sucked at this

This game was WAY ahead of it's time.

The number of quarters my friends and I dropped into this game. Finally made it through to the end after hours of playing and watching others.

The memories lol I forgot about this game and how far I got

What was the other game like this with a spy dude... short black hair and a suit... he drives in a little yellow car at some point i think.

I always have felt sorry for this poor knight. If he wanted a lady so bad he shoulda noped out of there and went to the tavern lol

This game was a scam. ❤

This game is nightmare fuel.

40 years later and I finally see the ending

This game was many more quarters than the other arcade games, hard and confusing.
