Dragon's Lair 3D: Return to the Lair Goes Gold is the press release that the updated remake of the Dragon's Lair laserdisc arcade game has gone gold for both the PC and the Xbox, and both versions should be in stores by November 18. Here is part of what the release has to say about gameplay: "True to the classic arcade phenomenon, Dragon's Lair sets players against the menacing dragon Singe and the evil wizard Mordroc to save the beautiful Princess Daphne. With full control of Dirk the Daring, a valiant but clumsy knight, Dragon's Lair 3D players fight their way through the castle's treacherous, labyrinthine-like halls to overcome new monsters and obstacles lurking in the shadows. Incredible new gameplay includes jumping over flaming pits, climbing ropes to fly across chasms, and battling swarms of the wizard's minions with Dirk's sword and crossbow."

	Hazard: "Speaking of "stupid" fun, does anyone know wether Serious Sam 3 is in development? Since they've completed the XBox port, can I hope to see the sequel soon?" It is in the works now. Try Seriously if you want to know more: http://www.seriouszone.com/ The site has left it's old address at Gamespy after having differences over some issues. Currently they are about to release a patch to improve the network play in SS:TSE. This new netcode is what will show in the next SS game. edit Interview with Croteam covering many things including the upcoming game: http://www.seriouszone.com/cms/articles/1_1.php This message was edited at Nov 11, 21:12.

	Incredible new gameplay includes jumping over flaming pits, climbing ropes to fly across chasms, and battling swarms of the wizard's minions with Dirk's sword and crossbow. Am I the only person who read that and thought 'Pitfall'?

	Dragon's Lair = Stupid fun Mafia = w00t fun There, clarified? I am sure that SS3 is in the works. After all, they did state that the next/final game was coming when you beat SS2...

	Still, I would be semi-interested in a game that was still "stupid fun" , but that included some of the advances from the games of today. Looking at the logo, wanting a Mafia sequel already , I hope these two statements were not meant to be related! Mafia is anything but stupid fun, its intelligent fun :). Speaking of "stupid" fun, does anyone know wether Serious Sam 3 is in development? Since they've completed the XBox port, can I hope to see the sequel soon? Oh, and I'd also take a Mafia sequel

	At the time, it was good for some "stupid fun." It certainly grew old rather quickly, especially when they released nearly identical games with limited playability, not to mention how they have released it on, oh, every system ever made. Still, I would be semi-interested in a game that was still "stupid fun" :o, but that included some of the advances from the games of today.

	well nationwide people played the heck out of this thing but then the novelty wore off fast so subsequent LD games (including DL2) tanked. Schnapple http://members.tripod.com/schnapple99/

	The magic of the original?? Didn't the original totally suck? I remember it in the arcades, it was always the game that people stopped to look at ("oooh, laserdisc technology") but nobody played.

9.	I hope they release...	Nov 11, 2002, 18:11	Ray Marden
	...a demo. If they can capture the magic of the original, I might be willing to pick this up for $20 or so. If not, no loss... Looking forward to Spearhead, Ray --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sex? Race? Religion?

	Couple of months ago CGW reported that this game was ass. Wonder if they made it fun.

	>>> I hope wizard's minions around the world don't take offense and try to have the game taken off the shelves. I'm sure we could start a petition. The wizards and dragons of the world don't need this kind of racist portrayal. I must be drunk on nostalgia, as I'm actually looking forward to this game...

	Guess this means I'm wrong - Dragon's Lair 3D won't be in development longer than Duke Nukem Forever. Schnapple http://members.tripod.com/schnapple99/
