Dragon's Lair 3D Announced
Date: May 13th
In Dragon's Lair 3D you control the actions of Dirk the Daring, a valiant
knight on a quest to rescue ‘Daphney’, a fair princess from the clutches of
an evil dragon. Fight your way through the castle of the dark wizard who
has enchanted it with treacherous monsters and obstacles.
Dragon’s Lair original creators, Don Bluth (Anastasia ), Gary Goldman
(Anastasia ), John Pomeroy (Fantasia II and Atlantis ) and Rick Dyer are
also the creators of Space Ace and Dragon’s Lair II. Under the Dragon’s
Lair LLC label, the team will work together once again to create new
characters for Dragon’s Lair 3D. Bluth revealed today that one of the
new characters will be the ‘Steal Monkeys’; made of steel, these fellows
are cunning thieves and will have strong magnets instead of hands that grab
anything and everything
Thomas Hertzler, Blue Byte CEO is also delighted with the deal. "With the
light-hearted ‘good clean fun’ focus of our product range, Blue Byte
continues to promote the fact that you do not need violence for the sake of
it. It doesn’t make a good game and it’s still possible to publish a non-violent
game and be successful. Blue Byte will continue to distance ourselves from
what seems to be a trend in producing titles that become more violent,
bloody and has more twisted content with each release. Dragon’s Lair 3D
will continue to be a ‘family gaming’ affair and our marketing campaign will
focus on a wider gaming audience."
Blue Byte Software expects to release Dragon‘s Lair 3D in time for
Christmas 2000
BlueByte Software announced today that they have brought Don Bluth and
Rick Dyer together to create another Dragon's Lair game; Dragon's Lair
3-D.
