I was unaware that game was even on Colecovision.
It was originally a coin-op arcade video game that used a laser disc to generate all of the scenery.
Let's see if I can go find it on the KLOV website...BBS...there, found it.
It was made by Cinematronics and came out in 1983.

When it was in the arcades, I slayed the dragon (and subsequently rescued the princess) a number of times; it eventually became a matter of how fast I could do it, not *IF* I could do it.
So I could say with a fair degree of certainty that I mastered that game. :thumbsup:

Another laser-based game I enjoyed (along the same lines as Dragon's Lair) was called "Space Ace".

Wow! This is bringing back the memories of going to the arcade with the $10 of grass cutting money and getting the big cup of tokens. Where did all the arcades go? Sure you still have the Dave & Buster's and Jillians like places, but I miss the simple small local arcade. There used to be an Aladdin's Castle in every mall around. :shrug:

I suppose those times were due to the fact that there were no real rivals to the coin-op games at the time. Now I guess the PCs, handhelds, and consoles have pulled the rug out from under the arcade business model.
I count myself lucky to have seen the National Coin Op Museum : http://www.coinop.org/features/coinopmuseum/

Too bad it's gone. :(

I have been through at least several Atari 2600 VCS consoles over the years; the only games I really played on it with any regularity were Pong, Tanks, Breakout, and Pitfall.
O, and that one with the biplanes. :)
