Seen as a true classic of the 1980s, interactive movie Dragon's Lair is to be released on a 1080p High-Definition Blu-ray disc for PlayStation 3 on April 9.
The entire movie has been digitally restored and enhanced with an all-new 5.1 surround sound mix. The video, according to publisher Digital Leisure,"has been transferred directly from the original film and cleaned frame by frame by Digital Leisure and authoring studio Infinite HD, creating a truly vibrant image. In addition, Dragon’s Lair is the first release to be authored in the Blu-ray Java environment, or BD-J, an advanced format that allows users to enjoy a fully arcade-authentic experience."
“I’ve seen the newly restored footage and it just looks amazing” says Don Bluth, original creator of Dragon’s Lair. “It looks even better than I can remember. The visuals, the 5.1 surround sound audio, all I can say is ‘Wow!’ Now a whole new generation can enjoy Dragon’s Lair all over again.”
All the special features on the disc are in full 1080p HD, including interviews with creators Don Bluth, Gary Goldman and Rick Dyer, as well as a full length visual commentary of the game.
Digital Leisure plans to follow up Dragon’s Lair with the release of Space Ace and Dragon's Lair II: Time Warp on the Blu-ray format.
