Cinematronics even offered a satellite monitor for the top of the game so that more onlookers could follow along with other people's gameplay.īut the game had problems from the get-go - chief among them was the unreliable home-use Pioneer PR-7820 laserdisc player and later, the LD-V1000. It wasn't unusual to see it situated at the entrance of an arcade, surrounded by a crowd that spilled out of the front doors. It quickly became an instant star in any arcade that paid $4,200 (or more) for a Dragon's Lair cabinet. It was a pioneer game, an animated laserdisc title drawn by veteran Disney animator Don Bluth that demanded not one but two of my hard-earned quarters to play.
In 1983 Cinematronics found its solution in the form of Dragon's Lair.
