Dragon's Lair / Space Ace / Re: Play Dragon's Lair Blind

Pleased to meet you both 
I had no idea there was such a forum about Dragon's Lair till this morning, you guys are huge fans.
Ok, for a small presentation : I'm 20, I live in Mons, Belgium (french side - 20km to France) and I'm a future teacher. I love video games in general but I'm kind of an oldschool guy (oh really ?).
You almost guested right about my story with the game, DarthNuno. I never played it on arcade. My dad and my uncle did. I indeed got the mega-cd version but I was already playing for some time on one of my dad's apple computer. He was tired of me getting in his legs so he got me that version I guess, I don't remember clearly since I was like 5 or 6 years old. Anyway most of the time I still played on the maccintosh
My true generation is really the PS1. One day someone really mean decided to sell my megadrive as I didn't play with it anymore. And old macs disappear with the time. So I couldn't play Dragon's Lair for more than 10 years. A week ago, I got that old Imac G4 you can see in the background of the video (as I tried to say). It brings back old memories. In about 2 hours I was able to finish the game, 2 hours more and I managed to do it without loosing any life. I don't remember how much I played this game younger but clearly a lot, most levels came back to my memory in a second. So I said to myself (what a beautiful world) : let's do this without looking.
Then started the interesting part and I've had to play 8-10 hours to be able to do this video. I got an emulator to play it on my PC for the recording because the max resolution on mac is pretty tiny, however it's nicer.
I may surprise you but I have never played DL2 neither Space Ace but since I got this mac back (and all those memories), I surely plan to try them both.
