Runtime: 65 Minutes

We're looking back at Dragon's Lair, released in arcades in 1983. As part of the discussion, we'll look at all the technology that surrounded it, including Videodiscs and Laserdiscs. We'll also briefly look at the career of Dragon's Lair's animator, Don Bluth, and also talk about the career of its game designer, Rick Dyer. Finally, we'll talk at length about why it was such a special game on today's trip down Memory Card Lane.
