Dirk and Daphne from Dragons Lair - Image 1 Those of you who've been playing video games from the 1980s may remember a classic, laser disc video game by the name of Dragon's Lair. Well, United Coders, developer of the Nintendo DS version of the game, is looking for a publisher to help bring Dirk the Daring and company over to the Sony PSP.

United Coders is thinking win-win on this PSP Dragon's Lair venture as well - the publisher gets the global publishing rights for the format, while United Coders gets funding for the development and intellectual property cost of Dragon's Lair in exchange.

According Hans Olsen, United Coders executive producer and lead programmer for Dragon's Lair, the Sony PSP version of the game will be similar to the Nintendo DS version of the game in that it will feature a choice of two gameplay modes:  the classic 1983 arcade version of Dragon's Lair, or a director's cut version featuring an extra scene, an indicator of player progress, more video footage, and more logical scene sequencing.

United Coders hopes to begin development on the PSP version of Dragon's Lair come February 2008 and release the game by December 2008.

As if the originals weren't hard enough...



Especially the NES version. Seriously, try playing the NES version on an emulator. And don't give me any of that "how do I do that" cr@p.



You're all pirates, and you know it.

Yeah, but some of us actually BUY games. Unlike you, I see.

I buy games too. However, unlike others, I admit that I pirate as well.



Besides, considering that I have a collection of 320 REAL NES cartridges, it shouldn't be that bad if I decide to pirate the other 200 or so...



Most of the pirates here don't even buy a single game. They are the real criminals.
