The legendary arcade game created by our own Don Bluth!  It's Dragon's Lair!

For those that don't know anything about this game, here's the gest of it.

You play as Dirk the Daring, who has to save the Princess from the evil dragon.

Now, as simple as that sounds, this is one of the hardest arcade games ever made.  Players wasted hundreds of dollars in quarters to even reach the final boss.

It is simply a game of timing.  You have to press up, down, left, right or use your sword at just the right time.  If your timing is even slightly off, you die.  You'll die many times and want to keep trying just to figure out the timing.

When it was brought to NES, it was made into a sidescrooler from scratch.  It was recorded as the WORST NES game ever.

However, it is now available for download on the DSi in it's full original arcade glory.  It is only 800 DSi points.

Good luck to all who play it.  It is HARD!
