Despite the simplicity of the premise behind Dragon’s Lair, wherein the player moves through a series of randomized events and traps that play out pre-made animations depending on success or failure, the game still had to ensure that each scenario would fill out a decent amount of time per play. As such, many sequences are the same sequence one after the other, but with their animation cells flipped or action required changed based on minor adjustments to the scene, thus extending the length of the scene past the few seconds of animation that were actually made for it.

Halcyon Dreams: The Legacy of Dragon's Lair

Hey! This is a great little docuvid about Memory and the History of Video Games; if any of that stuff sounds interesting to you plz watch it(it’s only ~40mins long).

Also, if hbg did actually post this vid to his tumblog and you know about it, plz let me know so I can rb from the source; I couldn’t find it when I checked his archives so I’m cross-posting it from his youtube channel.
