RickR Posted February 27, 2019 Report Share Posted February 27, 2019 (edited) There is a sale post over in the AtariAge forums. It looks like a very nice boxed cartridge is $95 shipped. I am considering it, and I know how much effort goes in to something like this. However, the cost is probably a little steep for me personally.

LSGreger Posted October 23, 2019 Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 I just found out about this game so I am late to the party. Here is a cool link I discovered about the development of the game by the creator. https://www.harmlesslion.com/text/Dragons Lair on the TI-99_4A.pdf - Ω - 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted March 4, 2021 Report Share Posted March 4, 2021 Beautiful packaging! 83 Megs running on the TI-99/4A? That's insanely incredible! Just mind-blowing to think Dragon's Lair is being done on a TI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickR Posted March 4, 2021 Report Share Posted March 4, 2021 If we ever do another get together, @- Ω -, I hope this game is available to try. Justin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airshack Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 (edited) I remember when this one showed up in the arcade it looked amazing. They wanted 50-cents per play which was strike-one. Interesting technically but somewhere between a real game and a repetitive video due to its on-rails nature so....strike-two and three. Never was a big fan of the Laser Disk games for the on-rails aspect. My favorite Laserdisk "game" was Mad Dog McCree which holds up to this day. I have Mad Dog for my Macintosh Perform running Mac OS8.6. The Mac version is an exact copy of the arcade version with the same video out takes, etc....just no handgun. Still, amazing technical achievement getting this into a TI cartridge. Edited March 5, 2021 by Airshack Justin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
- Ω - Posted March 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 Actually I completely suck at that game, but it's the only CIB TI game I currently own. It's pretty amazing when you think that Tursi had to design a whole new cartridge just to be able to hold the megabytes of data required.

Airshack Posted March 6, 2021 Report Share Posted March 6, 2021 I just wish it was a better game. Not my cup of tea. I would have purchased one if I didn't so dislike the arcade version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
