It’s probably impossible to overstate the sensation that was Dragon’s Lair, the 1983 video game that combined classic animation with laser disk technology to create a “choose-your-own-ending”-type arcade game. Using animation by The Secret of Nimh’s Don Bluth, Dragon’s Lair told the story of Dirk the Daring’s rescue of the Princess Daphne from a dragon and the castle of an evil wizard.

It was one of the first video games to cost fifty cents rather than a quarter — but people willingly lined up to play regardless, because it was so completely different from anything that had come before.

Now Digital Leisure is releasing an iPhone app version of the game before the end of the year.

No word on whether or not Bluth is involved with this project, although he was part of the team that released Banjo the Woodpile Cat, “the first animated feature movie game,” earlier this year.
