Comments for Dragons Lair by Software Projects - Amstrad CPC/GX4000

Synopsis:

Long ago, in a magical time, a good King named Aethelred ruled a peaceful kingdom. Now his kingdom had many treasures, but its greatest prize was Princess Daphne, the King's only child. Brave Knights and handsome Princes came from afar just to pay her court, for she was a maiden of exceeding beauty and grace. But, though they laid vast riches at her feet and pleaded most earnestly for her hand, Princess Daphne refused them all. For her heart had long been given to another ... Dirk the Daring, the King's champion and bravest Knight.

Then one dark day, Singe, an evil dragon who ruled over a shadowed land, appeared in Aethelred's kingdom and demanded that the king deliver up his kingdom and people to him. When Aethelred refused Singe's vile demand, the monster kidnapped the beautiful Daphne and imprisoned her in a crystal sphere in the horrible dungeons beneath his enchanted castle. Singe then sent Aethelred this message: Relinquish your kingdom before the setting sun or your beloved daughter will perish. Aethelred and all the people of the kingdom were plunged into despair. All except for Dirk who vowed to go to the enchanted castle and free the Princess ... if he could survive the dungeon's many perils ... if he could reach the Dragon's lair.

Robbo says

"The best 8-bit version of this game. The level lay out was better on this version than the also rather quite good c64 version, but I found this too be superior and much more enjoyable. Great music too!"

7/10

Gryzor says

"Well, you can`t plug a laserdisc into the CPC, so if you expect anything along the arcade lines you`ll be really disappointed, but this game is quite fine in its own right with nice levels and frustrating, but addictive, gameplay."
