Dragon's Lair

Dragon's Lair is a laserdisc video game published by Cinematronics in 1983. It features animation created by former Disney animator Don Bluth. Most other games of the era represented the character as a sprite, but due to hardware limitations of the era, artists were greatly restricted in the detail they could achieve using that technique. Dragon's Lair overcame those limitations by tapping into the vast storage potential of the laserdisc, but imposed other limitations on the actual gameplay.
