despite the hate that surrounds this series of games (oooh you bitter people!!) i really enjoyed the dragons lair/space ace series....no-one had ever seen graphics like these before and yes, even tho the gameplay was limited and frustrating, i could just as easily sit and watch the thing as a cartoon and get as much pleasure from it......ironically, this is not what I would call a "game" as such, more of a "playable demo"....i believe the developers were attempting to do something different with computer games and i for one applaud their efforts......thinking back though, i can easily see how some people may have felt cheated at having to pay game price for what essentially was an interactive demo.
I never owned this one, but I owned Space Ace which I think was by the same animator (Don Bluth?). I think he was involved in the American Tail movies as well. (Fievel the mouse). I do remember playing it in Skegness arcade though!!! A frustrating game to lose 20p on!
