This page may require cleanup to meet basic quality standards. The specific problem is: Some information is missing, and the DOS/Windows releases have been mixed together with the Unity Engine re-release. You can help by modifying the article. The discussion page may contain useful suggestions.

This page is for the original release. For the 2018 release, see Dragon's Lair Trilogy.

Warnings

The macOS (OS X) version of this game does not work on macOS Catalina (version 10.15) or later due to the removal of support for 32-bit-only apps.

Dragon's Lair is a quick time events game in the Dragon's Lair series.

The Steam and GOG.com versions received a major revamp in late 2017, with user reviews since then criticising changed timings compared to previous versions,[1] controllers disconnecting,[2] the game failing to recognize valid moves,[3][4] and input prompts desyncing from the video.[5] A game-breaking softlock in the elevator scene was reported to have been fixed in mid-2020.[6] The status of the Microsoft Store version is unknown.
