Dragon's Lair

The protagonist of the game.

The princess Dirk must rescue.

A dragon and an enemy.

Chop the snakes slithering from the ceiling and walls. Pull the skull that plummets from the ceiling and run out the door.

Reach for the swinging rope to swing to the open door on the other side of the chamber, avoiding rising flames and a sliding platform.

Follow the stone path, roll to avoid daggers, jump into the pool to dodge water snakes, and beware disintegrating floors and ceiling after climbing out. Chop the big hairy spider and run out the door.

Chop the Ooze Monster in half before it eats Dirk and escape the room before the rest of the bubbling green ooze gets him.

Slash the first Giddy Goon attacking from a stairwell, then climb the stairs and escape through the door.

Keep from sliding into the pit at the bottom of the slippery stairs, slash and dodge the green tentacles reaching out, and escape through the hole.

Avoid a bouncing anvil and split after being attacked by a magical flying sword in the Forge Room.

Dash through the giant spinning batons at the right moment, then jump toward and slash the Cloaked Spectre, avoiding clinging vines.

Jump toward the door ahead to escape as the wall closes in around Dirk.

Avoid fire and lightning flung from all sides and look behind the bench to escape.

Avoid the fire, pillars, and a wall as a small metal horse flies up and carries Dirk toward them.

Jump to the checkered tiles not covered by electricity when the Black Knight bangs his sword, then defeat him and flee the room.

Clattering skulls and black ooze attack Dirk. Avoid the ooze and a second skeleton claw, then jump out the door into the crypt where skeleton ghosts attack.

As Dirk walks along a wooden platform, it begins to rot away. Dirk must jump to the safe section of the platform.

Black bats chase Dirk down a splintering corridor. Avoid the bats by jumping across the yawning break.

A large scaly lizard confronts Dirk, but a pot of gold snags his weapon. Follow the pot to retrieve the sword and battle the Lizard King.

A sign appears and the door flashes. Don't drink the potion; hustle out the door instead.

The floor flashes and sections drop away. Jump to the visible parts of the floor, then leap out one of the doors.

As Dirk approaches a Metallic Ball, pulsating electricity covers the floor. Jump to safe parts of the floor to reach the throne, then keep dodging as the electricity follows.

Paddle around swirling water in a Whirlpool. In the Rapids, paddle into the safe current and then straight into the tunnel at the end of the channel.

Walking across a lava field, Dirk is attacked by Mudmen. Jump over geysers, avoid Mudmen, run along a stone bridge, and escape through an aperture in a cavern wall.

Avoid a charging knight and giant thorns pushing through the earth. Jump into a small cave to escape.

An enormous black ball rolls up behind Dirk, while smaller balls roll up and down the walls ahead. Wait for a smaller ball to tumble by before stepping away from the big black ball.

Dirk steps onto a round wooden platform that plunges downward through a circular shaft, stopping intermittently at rocky ledges. Timing is everything in jumping safely off the plummeting platform.

Dirk is drawn by the wind in the opposite direction. Skip out through one of the doors.

Electricity begins to surround Dirk. Jump through the crashing doors and climb up the stairs. Evade the gushing geyser to cross the bridge.

Singe the Dragon is asleep and should not be awakened. If a column of balancing dishes flashes, catch it, otherwise, keep away from the dishes. Listen carefully to Princess Daphne's instructions. When Singe wakes up, duck and run away, then dodge his tail. Pull the magic sword out of the large gem and hit Singe's vulnerable soft belly.
