Title: Dragon's Lair (and other things) - A Personal Tour
Post by: Sonic 1992 on March 25, 2008, 10:17:55 PM

Hello, I just wanted to drop a little personal note on how much my sister Tricia, and I loved Dragon's Lair, As well as many other video games!!!!

Sadly My sister Tricia passed away in 1996. She was my best friend!  :'(   This is kind of a tribute to everything videogame related we loved as kids!!!   :D
 
 First of all, Here's what we looked like in 1983 when Dragon's Lair came out!! These are our school pictures, I was in the 8th Grade, Tricia in the 7th grade. You can see that we were videogame fanatics at the time.. Just look at our T Shirts!!

Sonic 1992:   :lol:   :lol:    :lol:    :lol:     Stupid Zits !   :twisted:

Here's another picture of Trica, (1984)  with her Donkey Kong shirt.

Here is a picture of Tricia with a friend next to Stargate when It was new. (1981)  This picture was taken at our local convience store.

Whenever Tricia or myself saw anything in the paper or T.V. guide on videogames, we always cut them out and kept them!  Here is some of the things we saved!

When I was in the U.S. Coast Guard,  (1988) I was stationed in Seattle, Washington.  I was suprised to find a Dragon's Lair in a local arcade!!!  I played it, and slayed the dragon after 2 games!!  I haven't seen DL since 1984!!  I had my camera!!!!

Here is a picture of me playing my ColecoVision in 1984, The console is just out of sight, sorry...

Here is a picture of me when I got my Terminator 2 Pinball machine new back in 1992:  Sadly I no longer have the Frogger or Gorf machines, I regretfully traded them for the UltraCade when it was new. NOTE: I'm gonna get them back some day!

This was our favorite game in 1982:  Donkey Kong Jr.  Tricia took this picture of the game at our local convience store:

You can barely make it out, but this is one of the first Dragon's Lair machines that we played, it was at a 7-11 store, we took a picture of it!!

You might laugh at this, but when the city rebuilt our street in 1984,  I went out and wrote Dragon's Lair 2-22-84  with a Pac Man in the cement!  You can still read it to this day!!  I took a picture of it before we moved to our new house.

This is when I got my new Street Figher 2 Machine in 1993, I no longer have this game, I traded it for another.. Wish I didn't do that, I'm gonna get it back too!  Note: I will not ever trade any more games! I regret ever doing that! I learned my lesson!  :oops:

Playing Street Fighter 2 on Super Nintendo 1992!!

My sister Tricia, She loved to draw, and when she wasn't playing Dragon's Lair, She was drawing it. She would remember scenes from the game as best as possible, then go home and draw it from memory. She did most of this work in 1983-84 when she was 13 years old.  I kept these drawings stored safely, and I wanted to share them with everyone on the DLF Board!  Enjoy!

I hope you enjoyed our little flashback of our great childhood memories!!  This definately shows how much videogames and the 80's in general had a major impact on our lives!!  

Just like the cool song from Eddie Money says......  I WANNA GO BACK!!!   ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

The drawings make me have some tears rolling down my cheek : unreachable old good time.
Retro gamer feelings apart, thank you for your really moving testimony
In those terrible moments, be aware that some friends beyond the sees think about your sorrow and pray
for your sister.

Sincerly,
Pierre

Thanks for posting this. It is a very moving post particularly as I have just watched your Youtube videos with your sister in them. It is very sad to lose someone so young.

Thank you all for your kind responses. Tricia was my best friend, as you saw in my youtube videos, we were alot alike.

As long as someone is always remembered, they have never "died"   :'(   :D

Thanks again everyone!    Barry   Sonic 1992

I got a strange feeling after having read your post ; a mix of sadness (so sorry for your sister), nostalgy (these good old times are over), but also hope and joy as retrogaming is one way to get back in time and make these memories live again.

Bazza,

What can one say, apart from Thankyou very much for sharing all those cool Drawings and Photos, that had taken me back in the day while looking through them, my heart beated like it did when playing DL in 84 (Europe Atari release year) I feel for you mate, you seem to have had more than a sister there, remember she's proud of you mate in what you have done and are still doing!

Once again thanks!!

Like your previous post bumps, I discover another story from you that I missed, and this one is pretty nice and sad at the same time, but it is very kind from you to share it with us.

Barry, your beautiful story is the very first thing I read this morning and since then I can't stop thinking about it.
It filled me with the nostalgia for a great era and simpler times but also with nostalgia for the people we love and lost along the way. It's important to a take step back from our super fast over connected lives to think about that and also take the opportunity to enjoy what we have now.
Thank you.
