^^Giant Bomb Quick Look of Don Bluth's Dragon's Lair.

I Just thought I'd share this with you. It's the first time I've been able to see the entire game through to the end. When listing Don Bluth films, they accidentally mispronounced "The Secret of NIMH" as "Secrets of NIMH", but that's easily forgiven. They also call Don Bluth a pervert as well, if that sort of thing offends you.

Laserdisc games like "Road Blaster" and this have always seemed cool in concept, but they aren't fun to play. The whole "quick time event" thing is built for trial and error, which is made just so that arcade machines can suck up your coins. Now if there was a way to actually interact with the cartoon instead of just pressing buttons when the prompt comes up, it would be worth it.

Anyway, it's worth it for anyone interested in Don Bluth's animation or video game history to give it a watch. The traditional animated style of the game makes it fun to look at, even if it isn't fun to play.
