"Dragons Lair was one of the first laserdisc video games, released June 1983 by Cinematronics. It featured polished Disney-like animation created by former Disney animator Don Bluth, for the first time allowing players to control a fully realized character, as opposed to a pixel-based sprite, which at the time were comparatively limited in the amount of detail they could sport.
The games enormous contrast with other arcade games of the time created a sensation when it appeared, and was played so heavily that many machines often broke due to the strain of overuse. It was also arguably the most successful game on this medium and is aggressively sought after by collectors."
