Steam News announces a third set of games approved for release on Steam thanks to the Steam Greenlight program. "In just three months, the community has helped us identify 50 new titles for us to offer via Steam," said Alden Kroll of Valve. "With the help of Greenlight, the indie games market share of games sold on Steam has increased by 50 percent for a third consecutive year. That's a stat we are proud of, but one we also hope to increase as we learn more about Greenlight and continue to refine it in the new year." The newly greenlit project include a half-dozen programs and this baker's dozen games:

Blackspace
Darkfall Unholy Wars
Dawn of Fantasy
Dragon's Lair
Euro Truck Simulator 2
Gear Up
Kinetic Void - Space Adventure
The Light
No Time To Explain
Primordia
Sang-Froid : Tales of Werewolves
StarForge
Waking Mars

I'm down and cool with Dragon's Lair.

But make no mistake, we did the right thing denouncing it way back when after it's initial burst. That is totally not the way you wanted the industry in the whole to go. We are much further ahead then "create your own adventure" games.

You guys think consoles are dumb downed.

One could say it's one of, if not the, first QTE game. It's wasn't about skill, it was about memorization. And the only way you could win was to die a number of times until you found the correct response.

I agree that's certainty not the way we would have wanted to industry to go, but (like you) I also have many fond memories of it, since we'd never seen anything like it, up until that point.

I'm not going to pay $40 for FRAPS (for years I've checked for sales on that) and its also never made it to steam despite my hopes, so hopefully one of those other ones is cheaper and works decently.

DXtory is free and records video, AFAIK.

As I recall, they remastered the dragon's lair video and got bluray versions in the last few years. So yeah, it should be HD. Blue didn't mention, but they greenlit the first batch of software apps too: First Steam Greenlight Software Titles Action!

Agreed. Being able to control a Don Bluth cartoon was amazing and is easily one of my favorite arcade games of all time, and one I spent more quarters on than most.

I totally sucked at the game, and quickly gave up, as many quarters as it ate. I watched a playthrough this afternoon (when this topic came up) and it brought back all kinds of memories.

I've now rated 957 games and there are some real gems in amongst the mountain of dross. It's just a shame that some of the better looking games haven't yet been Greenlit when loads of shit games have.

I expect Valve will add achievements to the Winter Sale for rating games on Greenlight.

I was reading the wiki and apparently there was a recent movie project (listed between 2006/2007)in the works that seems to have hit some roadblocks, and is awaiting funding:

According to Don Bluth and Gary Goldman a Dragon's Lair movie has been scripted and is ready to go into production once financing for the project is in place. The film will be in the classic, traditional 2D animation style. Currently, however, the project is in development hell.

I'll get this when it hits $5. Seeing as I've never driven around Europe it's at least a cheap virtual exploration. Than and listening to Convoy by CW McCall and Eastbound and Down by Jerry Reed equals good times!

50 years from now Dragon's lair is STILL going to be offered on every new device/distribution platform.

And I'll still be alive and kicking, reminding myself that even back in the 80's I kept trying to convince myself that it was a cool game.

I remember first seeing Dragon's Lair and thinking it was so badass. Playing it now just feels so cheap given it's simply a cartoon driven by quick time events..

If nostalgia is really hitting you that hard for this one.. heres all 22 minutes of animation from the game, including all death scenes, in order:

Much more fun to watch than to play through, IMO =)
