Recently I bought Dragon’s Lair for my iPod Touch. Very much an impulse purchase but I’d always wanted to give it a go since I saw it in an arcade many years ago.

I have since discovered the game is a bit evil. The way the game works is basically that you watch some cartoon sequences and at certain points have to input a direction or press a swing the sword button. If you are a bit late, early or just wrong, you die. So you spend the game dying, over and over again. Luckily there are a huge amount of death animations. For me the joy of the game became watching them, just to see how many ways he can die. So here is my little tribute to Dragon’s Lair, a montage of deaths that poor old Dirk The Daring can suffer, I think I enjoyed every last one of them.
