The Dragon's Lair 3D Videogame

The Dragon's Lair 3D: Return to the Lair videogame will follow the basic

storyline of the arcade classic: Dirk the Daring, a goofy but courageous

knight, is on a mission to rescue Princess Daphne, who has been kidnapped

by the evil dragon Singe and hidden in the wizard Mordroc's castle. The

game will stay true to the design of the1980's arcade classic, but is

seven times the size of the original, and includes several new plot

twists.

In this version, players will have full control of Dirk, who must overcome

challenges such as navigating through a cave of lava, swinging from

burning ropes and unlocking hidden chambers in the castle to find Daphne.

Princess Daphne also plays an integral new role in the game, acting as a

guide for Dirk's journey. Singe, the Lizard King, the Giddy Goons, the

Crypt Creeps and other characters familiar to players of the original

arcade game have starring roles, along with over a dozen new characters

created by Don Bluth that add new dimensions to the plot.
