Dragon's Lair vs Dragon Slayer
« on: April 14, 2007, 02:18:03 PM »
I like Dragon's Lair for what it is, but I also like Dragon's Slayer the Legend of Heros (or whichever the hell one came out on the Turbo in the US, I simply can't keep track of them all).  I think Dragon's Lair is perhaps a bit more dragony.

Wait, are you referring to the FMV Dragon's Lair, or the side-scrolling spinoff of the FMV Dragon's Lair?

I haven't played the old FMV Dragon's Lair game yet, so I voted Dragon Slayer.

What do you mean by that? Laserdisc players are a fantastic media format for watching movies and ever since I got one, I find it more useful than a DVD or VHS player.

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

Actually, the correct english spelling is Legend of Gyro's!  Silly Falcom doesn't always translate things correctly, Dalk Fukt comes to mind!

And, Dragon Slayer all the way!

I'd take Dark Fact over Dulk Fukt any day.

Dragon Slayer's a better game, but Dragon's Lair is definitely more "dragony".

Playing through Dragon Slayer II right now (about 2/3 of the way through).  Not too impressed with this one.  Game  progresses way too slowly, and even when you characters are properly equipped and leveled up, a weak peon takes 8-10 hits before you kill it.  It puts way too much emphasis on level raising & money collecting.  As average it is, Part I is still a much better game.

never played dragon slayer, but it must be better than dragon's lair, which is UTTER SHIT.  ](*,)

it singlehandedly destroyed LaserDisc as a format.
