Ok, so it's not Dragons Lair, but this was obviously made using just the original movie, and as such can't expect to be a game like Dragons Lair or Space Ace which were purposely designed for game play. I think the Banjo game is totally innovative - there is nothing like this that I have seen on the iphone as yet! And for $2 - what more can people ask for .... Come on now ... Stunning animation, and you get to play the movie! Takes me back to my childhood! Roll on Dragons Lair! Mammamia - I am 100% with you ...

Still, I found the game play to be kind of a drag (didn't help that I got stuck early on), nowhere near as exciting as Space Ace. (Boy, did I pump quarters into that game!)

I would definitely pick those up in a heartbeat. Even better yet, I wish I could get Dragon's Lair 3d on the Iphone. I used to own a PS2 and it was supposed to come out for that but got cancelled and was only released for the Xbox, PC, and Nintendo Gamecube. But, low and behold, I got a copy of it from Australia for the PS2. Looks like a few slipped out. LOL. Only problem is, the game is in PAL so I still can't play it. And I own a crappy old G4 Imac so I couldn't play Dragon's Lair 3d on that either. I miss going to the arcades so much when I was a kid and seeing that game. It's just a 80's memoralbillia thing that I must have, ya know? Man.....I really wish that they would release Dragon's Lair 1 & 2 and Space Ace for the Iphone.

I hated Dragon's Lair and Space Ace. Great animation, abysmal gameplay, if you could even call them games. I remember putting in my quarter back in the day and just dying over and over, with no idea what I was even supposed to be doing. Ugh. I hated Dragon's Lair and Space Ace.

I picked t up for exactly the same reason, but, unlike DL and SA, Bluth's animation was not created specifically for the game, so there's little logic to the clickable areas. There's also very little forward drive in the storyline. I was very, very disappointed. Don't bother, Benjamin.
