CHICAGO, June 16, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- iiRcade Inc., the ultimate connected arcade machine that allows gamers of all ages to own and play their favorite retro and modern arcade games at home, is pleased to announce that the Dragon's Lair series will be released on the platform.
Dragon's Lair will come pre-loaded in each iiRcade unit while the other two titles from the series, Dragon's Lair II: Time Warp and Space Ace will be available for purchase in the iiRcade app store.
Originally released in the summer of 1983 for arcades by Cinematronics, the game used laserdisc technology to offer superior graphics at the time using its unique animation-style graphics. Dragon's Lair has also been remade into television and comic books series.
"Dragon's Lair is a cult classic in gaming and we are very excited to bring the series to iiRcade," said Jong Shin, founder & CEO of iiRcade. "This unique style of game will be a great addition to our line-up."
The Dragon's Lair series includes:
In Dragon's Lair, users play the heroic Dirk the Daring, a valiant knight on a quest to rescue the fair princess from the clutches of an evil dragon.
Space Ace will have users take control of Ace, who is the defender of justice, truth, and planet Earth. Ace is being attacked by the evil Commander Borf and the fate of Earth is in his hands.
Dragon's Lair II: Time Warp is an animated short film where users are required to move the player using the joystick or press the fire button at certain times in order to continue. It takes place years after the original Dragon's Lair where Dirk has married Daphne. When Daphne is kidnapped by the evil wizard Mordroc to be forced into marriage, Dirk must once again save her.
iiRcade, which is set to launch pre-orders on Kickstarter in June with early bird pricing starting at $299, will be the ultimate home arcade product providing gamers with their favorite officially licensed modern and retro games. Unlike other arcade devices, iiRcade is not limited to a few pre-loaded games, new games can be purchased and downloaded through the online game store and software upgrades will be made available to the platform.
