- What a beautiful Dirk !!!
|
 |
"In
the Annals of Video Arcade-dom never has there been a more tortured
soul as the stalwart hero of Dragon's Lair. Knowing absolutely no
one that has ever finished the game poor Dirk must have suffered
through countless drops into the abyss, electrocution, swallowed up
by horrid slime, etc. never to see the end of the game, never to
save the beautiful princess Daphanee. How many times did Dirk end up
falling into skeleton zombiedom? Countless. For this I salute the
poor bastard that is, Dirk the Daring." Craig /

... for
the side band of the 1983 Walt Disney's DRAGONS LAIR lunchbox from
Aladdin Industries.
Gone for $600 (406€), the winner -according the previous

collector of ... Lunchbox (Aladdin, Spiderman, Star Wars, Pac Man,
...). I hope he's also a big Dragon's Lair fan too !
Maybe some
of you didn't see it on ebay these days.;. because the seller made a

- Karsteens Creation presents "STARtoons - Retro Rescue"
"I have always
wanted to make an animated toon game, like 'Dragon's Lair' or 'Space
Ace'...so Im doin' just that!...it
will be based on my STARtoons characters, rather than utilizing
copyrighted characters...this way, I can do whatever I like!
The game,
entitled 'Retro Rescue', centers around Nikki and Nero (my STARtoons
characters) being sent into cyberspace to rescue all the arcade
classics characters from wiped from existance by a bad guy (who
happens to suck at video games) called 'The Retronator'.
The game will be a first (I think) encorporating animated sequences
the player interacts w/, plus 'mini games' in each level that pay
tribute to arcade classics..." Kevin K.
Previously discussed
here in 2006, Kevin presents now a big update on this project.
Have a look at his latest video on this
post. A must see... Impressive !!!
