Hi everybody boys !!! 
Sorry for the long term absence ! 

Did anyone of you notice there's a new Sir Benson's episode on the web ? 
Here' s the link :

Try to contact Martin (the author) to tell him your opinions about this character insipired by Dirk the Daring (I guess he can understand english, also)!

The first time I saw Dragon's Lair was not in public gaming room...
It was on TV...an italian program called "Tandem" (some kind of italian version of Starcade)...on this program there were many kind of  "spartan" video-games (custom made video-games, probably they were using a Commodore 64) and two players comparing their ability on these games. At a certain point of the show they were showing a beautiful cabinet  and the players (one by one) were holding the joystick and play...
Then...what was happening ? They were showing a beautiful cartoon : a castle by night, surrounded by plant spines...a knight getting in...Wonderful ! Is that a videogame ? Impossible, I was thinking ( I was just a kid...), but then I saw the order of the rooms was changing and the cartoon was "stopping"  sometimes (no black screen thanks to the magic of TV)  and the scene was changing if the player wrong...they were also showing a blue screen with the score and some "rectangles with a sword inside" representing lives left...
I was breathless, I was watching this TV show "hypnotized" by that game...
Is there some other Dragon's Lair italian fan who remembers about this show and maybe hold some video-tape ?

I needed to be waiting almost 1 year before I could see that game, on the arcade room near home...Stunning beautiful, I was feeling like living a dream...the rest is history...

Hello everybody !
Did somebody ever notice that on the Eden level of Dragon's Lair 2 (specular version) when Dirk is getting around the Forbidden Fruit and meets the two snakes, one of the sign on tree says "Forbodden fruit" ?
But on the normal level (not specular) the sign says (normally) "Forbidden fruit"...very strange...
Is it a joke from Don Bluth's staff ?
Does somebody know the reason ?
Am I just dreaming ?
