P.S. I tried for a long time to convert the footage by myself (no way !!!)

Whoa boys ! Seems your memories about these Arcade Rooms are so beautiful !  
The public Arcade Room I went was a smokey place, smelling like after shave...  :cry:
Very dark and full of "gentlemen" that everytime they wrong a move on Dragon's Lair, were hitting the precious cabinet very hard...causing the machine need to be repaired very often...  
I also remember the Dragon's Lair panel sometimes was giving some little electricity shock to the players...
But it was beautiful ! Oh so beautiful ! I remember that awesome cabinet standing there...beside there were a clone of Break-out and on the other side "Bank Panic"(nice game...I was playing sometimes, when I was getting tired of loosing my money very fastly on Dragon's Lair, at least there with one coin I could play about 15 minutes...)
That room was so terrible, but Dragon's Lair cabinet was so wonderful (and it's still now!)...  

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...

   Wow !!!
You really know how to perform "surgery" on cabinets !!!  
You are our Guru !
Forza Bruno !!!        

Hi Bruno !  
Sorry to contradict you,
but Andrea Martin, the author, cited in his website Dragon's Lair and Don Bluth directly as one the two main sources of inspiration for his character (the other one is Disney's Black Cauldron)
(You can see clicking on INFO on the web page...italian language  only   )

Of course you can count on me for every kind of translation...  
I'm already trying to contact the author...

Oh !  
Sorry for my "italian-english" language ! :  :
I just mean the "mirrored" version...

Anyway there' s something more...
Did you pay attention on Dirk's arms on this level ?
His costume is slightly different...
Another Easter Egg ?
