technology, offering greatly superior graphics compared to other
contemporary video games. While many home ports were released in the following years, developers often had to make severe compromises to make the game work on the target platforms of the era, such as splitting it into
two halves. A sequel, ''
Dragon's Lair II: Time Warp,'' had started development as early as 1984, but would only see release in arcades in 1991. While its graphics were once again praised, its limited interactivity compared to the newer generation of arcade games was considered outdated, and kept it from reaching the same popularity of the original.
The two first games in the series are considered gaming classics, and are frequently re-released on each new generation of consoles, often bundled alongside the 1984 LaserDisc game ''
Space Ace''.
The franchise has since expanded into other media, including a
short lived animated series that aired on
ABC in 1984 and a comic-book miniseries released in 2003. Plans for a feature-length film have existed since the 1980s and resurfaced in 2015, when Bluth launched two crowd-funding campaigns. While the

Gameplay
Most games in the ''Dragon's Lair'' series are
interactive films where the player controls Dirk the Daring, in a quest to save Princess Daphne. The game presents predetermined animated scenes, and the player must select a direction on the joystick or press the action button in order to clear each
quick time event, with different

A perfect run of the 1983 arcade game with no deaths lasts no more than 12 minutes. In total, the game has 22 minutes or 50,000 frames of animated footage, including individual death scenes and game over screens.
Characters
Dirk the Daring
Dirk the Daring is the main protagonist of the first game and subsequent franchise. As a knight of the kingdom, Dirk was entrusted with the rescue of Princess Daphne from Mordroc and Singe because all other knights were killed. He becomes heir to the throne upon saving Princess Daphne; following her rescue, Dirk and Daphne are married. In both games, Dirk is voiced by sound editor Dan Molina. ''

'' included Dirk on their list of top 50 game characters in the category "Top Ten Forces of Good" and called him "without a doubt, the epitome of the heroic knight".
Princess Daphne
In the games, Princess Daphne is the beautiful daughter of King Aethelred and an unnamed queen. She serves as the series'
damsel in distress. A beautiful maiden coveted by many princes and knights, her heart belongs to the kingdom's champion, Dirk the Daring.

For ''Dragon's Lair II'', where Daphne has experienced more than a dozen births, Bluth said "he thought it would be interesting if Daphne looked just as beautiful as ever; there's absolutely no sign she's been through anything".

Ellen Gerstell voiced the character in the cartoon, wherein her attire is a less-revealing dress.
Reception
Princess Daphne was met with mostly positive reception and greatly contributed to the success of the game, which was then ported to various home platforms and followed by several sequels, remakes and spin-offs. She has been cited by multiple publications as one of the most attractive characters in video game history.
UGO included her on their 2010 list of top 50 "video game hotties": "When the game was released, Daphne was the best-looking video game heroine around, so we still have a bit of a soft spot for her today". Including her at the 14th place on a similar list in 2012, Larry Hester of ''

Back in 1983, ''JoyStiks Joe Mendsky wrote "Daphne may look like the closest thing to a
porn star in the annals of the video game, but she's not dumb. She's seen the line of quarters across the floor at the Denver arcade".
Nearly three decades later, ''Complex'' said of her that there has "only ever really been one reason to play ''Dragon's Lair''", and stated: "Never mind that the gameplay was nothing more than a quarter-sucking game of trial-and-error and memorization. And, oh, God: Princess Daphne and her little sheer black dress. Jesus Christ. She was way too sexy. Our little brains exploded". Ranking her as the 14th "hottest video game girl of all time" in 2013, Steve Jenkins of
CheatCodes.com wrote: "Don Bluth's animated portrayal of Daphne, the princess who just can't seem to keep out of trouble, was the real attraction in this game… and attractive she was. (...) Princess Daphne's love of shear(sic!) clothing, plunging necklines, and her eternal 'damsel in distress' neediness made 50 cents a bargain to spend some quality time with her". Writing about the reason ''Dragon's Lair'' became so popular, Nikola Suprak of ''Hardcore Gamer'' stated: "Years of playing video games has made me very familiar with the 'save the princess' motif, which makes me extremely suspicious about Daphne's princess credentials. There is a far greater chance that she is just a stripper with the stage name Princess than an actual princess, because if actual princesses dressed like she did the royal weddings wouldn't be so boring to watch".
Jon M. Gibson of
GameSpy called Daphne "the epitome of a
damsel in distress". Rob Mead of ''
ST Format'' wrote "Daphne has to be the dippiest woman on the planet. She's gone and got herself kidnapped again. Can you believe it? The woman is a victim. She might as well walk around with the words 'Kidnap me' tattooed on her forehead".
Charlie Barratt of
GamesRadar included her among the seven "damsels you DON'T want to save", arguing that "underneath the skimpy leotard and fluttering eyelashes, Daphne's no deeper than a cardboard cutout. No smarter than a blow-up doll bimbo. Nothing more than salacious and cynical bait for your hard-earned quarters (and ''Dragon's Lair'' swallowed a LOT of quarters)". Glamour model Tara Babcock ranked the "beyond beautiful" Daphne as the 16th "hottest video game" and wrote that "her half-naked, yet regal appearance, flowing blonde hair, big eyes with batting lashes and cute, ditzy appearance ... has been the subject of much controversy over 'sexism' in gaming!"
Daphne's voice was described by Earl Green of ''Classic Gamer Magazine'' as "a high pitched voice that could cause harm to small pets". Green also wrote that "those of us who were entering adolescence at the time never quite forgave the TV show for covering Princess Daphne up, even though a vast improvement was made in giving her more personality and more intelligence, rather than the original game's helium-voiced ditzy blonde".

Other media
TV series
The game led to the creation of a short-lived television cartoon series, ''
Dragon's Lair'' by
Ruby-Spears Productions, where Dirk the Daring is voiced by
Bob Sarlatte and the unseen storyteller that narrates each episode is voiced by
Clive Revill. Changes in the TV series include the originally nameless Dragon being given the name Singe (voiced by
Arthur Burghardt), Princess Daphne (voiced by
Ellen Gerstell) wears a long pink dress, and includes some exclusive characters like Princess Daphne's father King Ethelred (voiced by
Fred Travalena), Dirk the Daring's horse Bertram (vocal effects provided by

). Enemies include the Lizard King, the Phantom Knight, the Giddy Goons, and the Mudmen. Thirteen half-hour episodes were produced and aired on the
ABC network from September 8, 1984, to April 27, 1985. It was last aired on the
USA Cartoon Express between the late '80s and the early '90s. To keep the show in the spirit of the game, before each commercial break the storyteller asks what the viewer would do to solve the problem facing Dirk. After the commercial break, the outcomes of the various choices are shown before Dirk acts on the correct idea (with the occasional exception) to save the day. Don Bluth had no involvement in the TV series.
Comic books
A comic book miniseries based on the game, but incorporating elements from the cartoon series as well, like Dirk's horse Bertram, was released in 2003 by
CrossGen, concurrent with a miniseries based on ''Space Ace''.
Arcana Studio published the entire comic book series in 2006, as there are three issues that were previously unpublished.
Film
In the 1980s, a film version of ''Dragon's Lair'' was planned, with
Alan Dean Foster involved in shaping the story. The project fell apart due to low interest from other studios.
In 2015 and 2016, Bluth and Goldman
