EA Mobile announces Dragon's Lair for iPhone, iPod touch

updated 11:10 pm EST, Sun December 6, 2009

Remake of the Dragon's Lair arcade game


EA Mobile has announced that the 1980s game Dragon’s Lair has been remade for the iPhone and iPod touch. The animated adventure focuses on a Knight, Dirk the Daring, who is on a quest to rescue Princess Daphne from the lair of a fire-breathing dragon, Singe, who dwells inside the castle of an evil wizard. Players have to defeat a variety of monsters including the Lizard King and the Giddy Goons, all while exploring different caverns and overcoming obstacles.

The game features an Arcade Mode that contains the same adventure and storyline as the original. Playing in Home Mode replicates the authentic Laserdisc version and provides additional scenes.

Dragon’s Lair is expected to be available from the App Store during December of 2009, however the company has yet to provide a specific release date or price.

    Man, I could buy several iPhones for the amount of money I spent on Dragon's Lair in the arcade back in the day. Any chance they'll give me credit? LOL!

    Space Ace has been available for most of the year. :) It's put out by Dragon's Lair LLC (versus EA for Dragon's Lair, go figure).
