WOW!! This takes me back!

This is great, I could never run this program as should be, I had no HDD in my Amiga 1000.

@electrictroy2010 You don't make any sense! Audio is just a certain type of data. Like I said, it didn't predate CD-ROMS at all, they just weren't used in widely used in games yet.

@krisp75 I think it's funny people say this game was "sucky". It was the most popular game in 1983 when released to arcades, and another blockbuster when sold to Amiga owners (which is why it spawned 5 sequels)

.

I and my friends went out and spent $150 for 1/2 to 1 megabyte upgrades, just to play this game because we were amazed by the graphics. And because we thought it was fun (and funny). Compare Dragon's Lair to all the other games that existed in 1985... they seemed dull in comparison

@madmax2069 The 68000 is a 32 bit CPU sitting on a 16-bit wide die (date bus). In that respect it's much like the 386SX which is also a 32 bit CPU sitting on a 16 bit die

@Ritchstorm CD AUDIO was invented in the 70s, but CD-ROMs (for data storage) were not invented until the late 80s, and not adopted for computer usage until the 90s

.

So the guy was correct when he said this Floppy-based game predated CD ROM

@neomedia74 The con-op version also had hand-drawn cartoon graphics & required a $10,000 laserdisc player. Nobody could play that at home

@2zporygon You're nuts. The graphics were incredible for 1985 (when PCs and Macs went 'beep' and only had 4 colors)

.

[2zporygon]

those graphics make me want to hurl

[kzbxvz]

God lord it isn't the Nintendo version!

This version was a technical marvel at the time. Full screen animation like this rendered in real-time on a home computer was simply unprecedented.
