Anyone here ever finish these games? I mean, it's next to IMPOSSIBLE!
If you did finish it then you deserve to have a weekend spent in a luxury hot tub with the three most beautiful women hand feeding you grapes.... ![]() That is all /throws joystick out of window... grrr... |

I've finished Space Ace back in the day with my dad reading a walkthrough next to me while I was playing the game. Took us around five attempts still to get through it.

I've never finished Dragon's Lair myself, but I remember watching 2 guys play the original arcade from start to finish (making very few mistakes) in the 80s in a game store I sometimes visited. To me (at that time) it was simply amazing. Needless to say, they probably had to pump a fair amount of coins in the machine to get there.

Actually like most of these laserdisc arcade games from days of yor, you just had to memorize the left-right-up-down joystick queues and finish them
![]() I did this a few times back in the day on the actual arcade machines, along with the Anime inspired Cliff Hanger (which was take from the Castle of Cagliostro, Lupin the Third) Now I never did finish the Amiga version nor was I able to complete the re-released versions for the PC either ![]() |

I finished the Amiga versions using a walk-thru. The best was seeing the entire animation sequences at an anim meeting from someone who worked at Bluth Studios for the 3 games circa 1990 along with his commentary. Obviously, if you buy the DVDs now, you can watch all the sequences.

Never finish either. I refuse to cheat or use walk throughs.

I finished Dragon's Lair in the arcade when it came out, it was expensive since it cost 50 cents per game! I again finished it on Amiga and PS3. I also finished Space Ace on the iPhone.

I was lucky, we have these arcade parlors called Electric Castle Wonderland that charges a $2.50 entrance fee and the cost for the arcade games is a nickel each and a few that required 2 nickels to play ![]() I think they are still around too but I haven't been to one in years now.... |

I will never forget the disappointment after getting my hands on these games. I had a VHS with trailers from these games and they looked like the coolest games ever but turned out to be among the suckiest!

Never played at the original arcade counterparts because I KNEW I wasn't able to go over the first screen!
![]() The first Dragon's Lair on Amiga was really frustrating, because too much disk swapping, even with the walkthrough, I got myself annoyed very soon. Better luck with Singe's Castle, but never finished. Space Ace, still not so good, but VERY close to the original arcade. I was able to finish it all by myself without any walkthrough, but I took a LOT of time to do it... ![]() |

Definitely finished DL for the Amiga. I love memory games and the DL series...
Can't remember if I finished Space Ace or the other DLs, so maybe not... I know I bought Escape, but can't remember finishing it... (Might have been about when I was getting in to PCs and making money.. ![]() I also finished DL on the C64, which doesn't count as the same game, but still. ![]() desiv |
