 Category:  Action/Adventure
 Current Availability and Price:  Commodore 64/128; $24.95

 November 20, 1987 -- Electronic Arts today announced the release of Dragon's
 Lair for the Commodore 64/128.  Dragon's Lair is a special adaptation of the
 smash hit videodisk arcade game, originally designed by Don Bluth.

 Dragon's Lair contains two adventures on one double-sided disk.  In both
 scenarios, you become the hero, Dirk the Daring.  In the first adventure,
 Dragon's Lair, you must duel the meanest fire-breathing beast ever - Singe
 the Dragon.  The merciless Singe has kidnapped the Princess Daphne, and you
 must defy snapping skulls, fiery chasms and phantom knights just to reach
 the dragon's lair where he holds her captive.  Singe's fiery blasts will
 test your agility and his scale-covered flesh will challenge your ability to
 handle a sword.

 If you manage to rescue Princess Daphne, you will discover in the second
 adventure that a 10-foot Lizard King and his band of evil thugs have
 inherited it.  In Escape from Singe's Castle, you must dodge deadly
 boulders, ride a phantom horse and survive the treacherous Throne Room in
 your quest to slay the Lizard King.  Within his domain lies a fortune in
 gold.  If you can seize it from under the Lizard King's watchful eye and
 escape from the castle you will obtain lifetime wealth.

 "Now Commodore 64 owners can enjoy this popular arcade game with enhanced
 special effects and brilliant, colorful graphics," stated Bing Gordon, Vice
 President of Electronic Arts Entertainment Division.  "And the special
 double-sided disk offers two adventures in one for doubly fierce action and
 adventure."

 Dragon's Lair joins Delta Patrol, Sanxion and Dan Dare: Pilot of the Future,
 as the fourth title in the company's Amazing Software line of products.
