DRAGON’S LAIR: My First PERFECT Game on my Arcade 1up Dragon’s Lair!
Although I’ve slayed the dragon many times on my Arcade 1up Dragon’s Lair arcade game, and achieved the highest score possible of 373,879 (3 Dirks on easy setting), I’ve never accomplished that with NO unnecessary sword or stick inputs…until now!

    I remember having a perfect game on coin-op at the Family Fun Center in Bremerton, WA. That game must have had a 5 man start because running my first man up until the final move to kill the dragon and purposely failing and subsequently doing it with my remaining men. The high score was 402,xxx.

    Long story short... I had the opportunity to choose my own home arcade game in 1987 (I was 16ys old). It came down to Dragon's Lair or the original Star Wars. I was a massive Star Wars fan and had literally had every Star Wars figurine and playset. My parents were told the Dragon's Lair was going to be very expensive to repair if anything ever went wrong. I'm 52 years old now and the Star Wars arcade game still sits in my living room. Blue dot in the middle of the screen but the audio still works. In hindsight, no regrets. I have all 10 of the top scorers on this machine and I have no doubts that had I got Dragon Lair it would not have lasted as long as the Star Wars did.

    Anyone who knew how to play this was king of the arcade back in the day. Mostly it was kids like me who had no idea how to get past the first few screens, but when the masters came out the case would attract everyone around just so they could see all the little parts of the story they had never seen.

    I also played Dragon's Lair when it was new in arcades. I have a question. Is there a reason why everyone jumps off the elevator at the last possible stop? After 40 years I just realized that everyone does that but I don't know why. I always do that, but I know that it is fine to jump off at at earlier stop. I suspect that I saw someone else do it so I did the same. Does it effect the room order? Score more points? Honestly I have never cared about or paid attention to points in this game.

    I remember reading about this game in some magazine back in the 80s. The graphics got me absolutely drooling, and I couldn't believe how good it looked. And some time later I saw an ad for it on c64, and the add seemed to indicate that the graphics was similar to the arcade version. I didn't buy it of course, because I onle ever had cracked and pirated games. If I had payed for it I would have been livid. The graphics were so bad in comparison. lol

    I won back when I was a kid in high school. I'd never made it to the last scene so I had no idea what to do. All of a sudden some guy standing next to me told me what to do. I won the game and turned around and there were a ton of people who were watching me play that I didn't know were there. I looked to my side to see who had been helping me, but there was no one there. It was a very interesting experience.

    Not a big fan of the arcade game, but you remind me of myself and the love I have for the 80's, malls and traditional arcade games. However, what drew me to this was actually an italo disco song by Koto called Dragon's Legend which uses the game and Princess Daphne's voice as a sound bite in the song. The premise of the video game is interesting and feel like it could be made into a movie. If I made the movie, I would star Bruce Campbell as Dirk. Anyway, here's the song... ua-cam.com/video/FWzrcb8qZg8/v-deo.html
