Laserdisc golden oldie Dragon's Lair 2 brings its catalogue of death scenes to iPhone
Die hard, and often
Like fine wines and cheese, some games get better with age. Then again, like an abandoned school lunchbox after a six-week summer break, some games are better left well alone.
EA will, of course, hope that its newly released Dragon's Lair 2: Time Warp on iPhone falls into the 'vintage' category.
Originally released in 1991 on laserdisc, Dragon's Lair 2: Time Warp has players working their way through time and space as dashing bumbler Dirk the Daring on a mission to rescue damsel in distress Princess Daphne.
The gameplay remains unchanged from the arcade classic, with players still selecting directions or pressing the attack button in time with on-screen animations.
Thankfully, EA has also preserved the option to have 3, 5, or (the almost obligatory) infinite lives, as - any Dragon's Lair aficionado will tell you - death will happen often.
The game is out now in New Zealand, though it'll hit the US and UK stores later tonight for £1.79 / $2.99 / €2.39.
