Forty years ago our eyes were blown from their sockets as they witnessed what appeared to be Disney cartoon quality graphics arrive in the arcades. Of course, we soon found out that the reality of actually playing these LaserDisc games wasn't perhaps what we initially dreamed, yet still Rick Dyer and Don Bluth's Dragon's Lair (and to a lesser extent, sci-fi sequel Space Ace) would become legends in their own right. Leon, Chris Worthington and Jesse join Dirk and Dexter on their animated escapades, and along with contributions from the Cane and Rinse community, remember the many, many direct ports and peculiar - sometimes incredible - conversions to home machines.Music featured in this issue:1.

Your sacrifices are appreciated.

You can always rely on Cane and Rinse to play wonky ports of old games on your behalf - a very well researched episode.

Great work guys, well done for actually playing through these games and explaining them for those of us who don't have the patience. I'd also like to recommend the YouTube video from hbomberguy that explored the history of this series as it puts a lot of emphasis on Rick Dyer and how much of a visionary he was, despite his projects failing in the end. It also does a deep dive into Thayer's Quest and it looks like a confusing mess.
