Dragon's Lair vs Dragon Slayer

[FM-77]

Both are bad games, but I chose Dragon Slayer, because it isn't as bad.

Playing through Dragon Slayer II right now

You mean Xanadu?

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

Dragon's Lair, it actually made laserdisc players USEFUL.

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.

Dragon's Slayer the Legend of Heros

Forgive me if I am wrong, but I recall you jumping on someone for incorrect spelling before, referring to "definitely" I believe. Shame be upon you for this one, Joe!

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!

What about Dulk Dekt or Malficius?

Yeah, is that from the SMS version of Ys? I remember looking at the instruction manual not too long ago... but I thought it was some other name...

[FM-77]

The Master System box says Dark Dekt, the game says Dulk Dekt. Neither of these translations were made by Falcom, nor was Malificus.

I don't think Falcom ever intended the name to be Dark Fact though. They've NEVER used that translation themselves. AFAIK, only Ys 1-2 TG uses that name.

Keranu, do you want to buy any of my LaserDiscs?  Some of them are DTS only, though.

Yeah same thing Michael said applies here. Let me know what you have (PM or whatever) and I might buy some if they interests me.

As retarded as it sounds, I think is is supposed to be Dulk Fukt.  Multiple Japanese sites romanize "ダルク・ファクト (Daruku Fakuto)" as "Dulk Fukt", and even Falcom's own site hints this (look at Hugo "Fukt") for the official Ys Origin website here. 

Personally, I'm glad they made him "Dark Fact" in the TCD version as opposed to "Dulk Fukt".

You mean Xanadu?

I guess it should be Dragon Slayer VII (VI? VIII?)-Part II?   Too many damn Roman numerals.

He's just referred to as "Dalk" in the Falcom Classics (Saturn) game manuals.

Naw, Xanadu is Dragon Slayer 2. The "Dragon Slayer 2" you're talking about is Dragon Slayer 6 part 2.

The Legend of Xanadu is Dragon Slayer 8, whereas The Legend of Xanadu 2 is Dragon Slayer 8 part 2.

Meh, let's make the obligatory list for this to make any sense whatsoever...

Dragon Slayer 1
Dragon Slayer 2: Xanadu
Dragon Slayer 3: Romancia (aka Dragon Slayer Jr.)
Dragon Slayer 4: Draslefamily
Dragon Slayer 5: Sorcerian (there are like a million different Sorcerian scenarios for Japanese computers)
Dragon Slayer 6: The Legend of Heroes
Dragon Slayer 6 pt 2: The Legend of Heroes 2
Dragon Slayer 7: Lord Monarch
Dragon Slayer 8: The Legend of Xanadu
Dragon Slayer 8 pt 2: The Legend of Xanadu 2
(+ Dragon Slayer Gaiden for Game Boy)

Note! The Legend of Heroes 3 and up is not part of the DS series, neither is Faxanadu, Xanadu Next or any other game that's related to either of the games in that list. Only those mentioned are part of the DS series.

[Kitsunexus]

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

it singlehandedly destroyed LaserDisc as a format.

You're entitled to your opinion about Dragon's Lair, but saying it ruined laserdisc is BULLSHIT. The game showed how laserdisc could be used creatively, it also showed it's great video quality. Unfortunately, it also showed how the arcade environment was not suitable for a laserdisc player, and so people shied away from the format, because they thought all the players had shitty build quality.

Except for the fact that the home is a lot better for a laser disc player than an arcade. However people weren't going to realize that.

So in summation, Dragon's Lair didn't ruin laserdisc, stupid f*cking mongoloids ruined laserdisc.

Romancia seems pretty fun, I could be wrong, so it might be one of those titles we'll hack & patch n' stuff, put it on the Turbo, in english, with better graphics & music

[FM-77]

Romancia sucks. A lot. Don't bother trying it out.

[Necromancer]

One's on laserdisc and one's on the Turbo - therefore Dragon Slayer gets the win (it's more fun too).

[FM-77]

Is this the only forum in the world where people have actually used laserdiscs?

[Kitsunexus]

Is this the only forum in the world where people have actually used laserdiscs?

Yeah I believe so...

[Necromancer]

Yeah, what the hell's this lazerdisk thing y'all are talking about?  :-"

[Kitsunexus]

You're not gonna believe it, Ethel, it's a record player, that PLAYS MOVIES! IN COLOR GOSHDARNIT!
