Dirk the daring. The worst hero in history.
After watching various videos including AVGN, I decided to play it. My god, the first screen is the hardest level in history (at least you can get "somewhere" in Silver Surfer). Dirk is abslutly useless, as you would know, dies after one touch of something (except bats), the one that gets most gamers is the damn door! You somehow turn into bones after the touch of wood.
The controls are notoriously bad, he is slow. Heck, slow is an understatement.
After watching videos of the arcade game, it is safe to say. Dragon's lair should be arcade exclusive. It has no means on the nes, it is stupid. Dragon's lair is primerily a tried and tested interactive movie. You just can't do tried and tested interactive movies on the nes.
OK, I rabbitting on now, so I'll end this. It sucks.
