The iconic Don Bluth animated game Dragon's Lair is now available as an iphone application. Let the endless streams of wrong choices and quarter eating begin. Ok, so quarters are not necessary, but I suspect that at $4.99 for the app, people are going to have buyers remorse shortly after their 32nd try at the barrel scene--right..no left...arghhhhhh! I don't want to leave you with the impression that I don't appreciate Dragons Lair (or Space Ace for that matter) for what it is--a novel idea at gameplay, but I think we all would admit that it falls short as entertainment. The controls and timing mechanism were simple, but deadly. And everyone always managed to walk away from the game feeling cheated somehow--dirty. I don't know how many times I sat back and watched as people would try the same scene over and over again, having memorized the directions and detailed button combinations only to still be thwarted by...well who knows? It's almost as if the electronics in the game were set-up destroy the soul of young men. Mission Accomplished! The only good use I can see for loading this game onto your iphone is to raise your blood pressure, embarrass your friends by telling them you've completed the game in 15 minutes and then handing it to them to try. And of course for nostalgia. But then again, if I wanted to be nostalgic about all the times I was frustrated in my youth. I'd rather call an old girlfriend.
