ABOUT DRAGON'S LAIR
Dragon's Lair debuted in 1983, and was the world's first full-animation laser disc video game. The game features Dirk the Daring, a rather clumsy knight that must make his way through the castle of an evil wizard to save the beautiful Princess Daphne. The game's visionary team of creators was astounded by the public's overwhelming enthusiasm and witnessed lines as long as several city blocks as people of all ages waited to play the game.
According to an August 8,1983 feature story in Newsweek:
Dragon's Lair is this summer's hottest new toy: the first arcade game in the United States with a movie-quality image to go along with the action... The game has been devouring kids' coins at top speed since it appeared early in July. Said Robert Romano, 10, who waited all day in the crush at Castle Park without getting to play, "It's the most awesome game I've ever seen in my life."
The Hollywood Reporter devoted a full page to the game and its legendary animator, Don Bluth on July 18, 1983. It quoted an arcade owner who stated, "Without a doubt it's the most popular game here. There is no number two. That one's just taken over."
Over 320 million plays have been logged for this classic arcade adventure and numerous 2D versions have been released on various platforms over the ensuing years (including, most recently, an iPhone version). Currently, Dragon's Lair is one of only three games on permanent display at the Smithsonian Institution, along with Pac Man and Pong.
"I was 13 years old when Dragon's Lair launched in arcades, and I can still remember waiting in line for hours outside Alladin's Castle to play it," according to John Doffing, VP Marketing at LTL PRINTS. "Dragon's Lair is a major milestone in the history of video games, and it is an absolute honor to work with Don Bluth Films to create premium wall graphic versions of these iconic characters."
"Dragon's Lair and LTL PRINTS are the perfect fit for our brand and characters and really connect with our fan base, it only makes sense to combine Don Bluth's classic characters with LTL PRINTS' premium wall graphics" says Gary Goldman, Vice President of Bluth Group Ltd. "We look forward to launching these new designs and offering fans these unique products."
