I believe we are all familiar with this title.
It is rather short and the only thing that makes it difficult is the damned slow response of the controls.
Otherwise, I don't think it is all that bad. -

And people thought Dark Souls was hard!
Edward Lee Jea that always made me naught when people are crying nowadays about "hard" games. Back in the day on NES there was no internet and nobody was crying like a bitch. BTW at the end that last small spawn tiny dragon killed me couple of good times after beating green dragon, that was funny :D
Dark Souls is not a hard game nor is Dragons lair, the difference s that DS is fun cause you learn the monster's weak points and create strategies while Dragons lair is just a badly programmed memorize-each-pixel-of-the-level crap.
+Edward Lee This game is hard because of horrible design. I mean seriousley. Everything in this game is working against you. You dont necceserly die because you ''the player'' is bad.
Horrible design? Don't forget that this is 1990 year. Character moves slowly and sluggish because that's the design which require pre planning every move and remember the level. I, as well as many people beaded game back in the days and still enjoying memories today (music and so on) so don't tell me that this is horrible design because what is - it's only your opinion.
Gerpir Feilan nvm. Keep enjoying this piece of shit game, through your rose tinted glasses.
The pixel perfect accuracy this game requires is daunting
Mark Ganus indeed
Whats the point of having a life bar when everything Kills you in one hit?! *ONE HIT!?!*
AVGN
Thief
Bats don't
One FUCKING Hit☝️
AVGN is the best.
Boy, you really have balls of steel.
how was a longplay of this game even possible?
I wish there would be more so well-animated games in pixel graphics.
There's something so satisfying seeing pixels moving so fluidly... no, not in bouncy style like "Scott Pilgrim vs the World", it is good as well, but i'm talking about other animation styles (Not art styles, animation styles, as in the way they move) Don Bluth Style, Disney Style, 80's anime style, 90's anime style, Clay style...
"Dragon's Lair for the NES is my favorite game" says no one ever.
Pretty impressive graphics and animation for NES.
That's the only thing this game had to offer.
Things you'll need while playing this game:
1. Turbo controller
2. A lot of time on your hands
3. The game genie code for Infinite lives
4. Lunar IPS and a ROM hack of Dragon's Lair: Dirk's Revenge
5. a whole lotta bear
This game passed me off so much as a kid, it's one of the reasons I swear a lot to this day. He has a freaking sword, why is he lightly tossing a bunch of knives?!?
It took.. a good amount of patience and sheer determination but I am always more than happy to deliver for anyone out there that is interested in seeing the game completed. :)
~JagOfTroy
most difficult first screen in history of videogames.
Even AVGN did a review on it
@@GenericUser379 It's what made him lol
This is probably the most difficult game I've ever seen and it's probably the shittiest one, too.
Dennis Hoppe Why would yo call it shity? Cause it was difficult? Music was good. Dragons Lair theme was brilliant, graphic for NES was good as well. Difficult? Yes, but how satisfying was it to beat it :D
It's not difficult. It's literally impossible and shitty
uhm if you watched the whole video you will see it IS possible. Moron.
Logan Hickling it is possible with save states, it's a fucking TAR. It's a tool assisted run, meaning that he used an emulator with save states to complete it. The game is impossible.
HOW do you know? I don't see JagOfTroy claiming that.
You could put the video at speed 2, and it's still too fucking slow
This is like the worst kind of self torture...
I took the time to beat this game for some reason. It left me feeling sad.
Probably because all that time was for nothing. The level design sucks, I can’t imagine it’s fun and nothing interesting ever happens. It’s *just* hard
16:12 damn, that kill was unfair, it hurts XD
God diggy damn.
The fucking hitbox
this longplay is full of close calls
The crouching in this game is epic
I'm only a minute in and am getting anxiety.
a message to creator's of this game and everyone here "You can never erase your sins."
We can't erase our sins, but Jesus sure did at the cross.
Question is, will you accept His free pardon, or rely on your own self-righteousness to get to heaven?
Given that we're all inherently unrighteous, relying on our own good works or behavior will only land a ticket to hell in our hands. And given that hell is a friendless, family-less realm of isolation and suffering, I'll accept Christ's pardon that He paid for on our behalf.
Allahu Akbar

Well I will say the rotoscoped animation is excellent
At least they correctly spelled "congratulations".
Dumb meme
Oh, be quiet.
Medachod
avgn sucks ass now
Orbrun What does that have to do with anything? I say "dumb meme" to Harambe every day, but you don't see them stopping. Just let memes be memes.
Orbrun shut the fuck up dumbass, Avgn is hilariously awesome! your such a shit load of fuck! >:O
Wow dude! That is impressive, seriously. I usually give up after level 1.
The PAL version is actually playable
Я в восторге! Игра для Nes выглядит круче чем для super nintendo!! Разработчики очень постарались и отнеслись с уважением к игре. Вот что значит когда есть желание сделать красивую и интересную игру.
I wonder how many times he had to play this to know exactly what to do?
+fubukifangirl
he didnt this is a tool- assisted gameplay
Dud back in the days I've done it myself on NES. I dont remember was I dying or not but definitely without continuation. Even if this gameplay is tool assisted, its definitely possible. One of my favorite games on NES (Pegasus in my country)
@@AlextheKungfuMaster if it was a TAS he wouldnt have went into that un needed room or died unnecessarily. its just a longplay.
The angry video game nerd would be pissed if he saw this.
Gosh you make this game look easy! I couldn't even get into the castle! lol
You are a monster. How the HELL did you play this? AVGN could not play it. You are the damn Devil. Great playthrough!!
Современные игры:
Начнем с обучения.
Dragon's lair:
Начнем с босса. Выживай как можешь :)
I think the creators of the game knew the NES version looked like crap compered to the original "quick time event" version, so they left the title at the top of the screen to whole time to remind you ... "Oh, yeah, I forgot this is supposed to be Dragon's Lair".
in the AVGN episode he played a version that really sucked. this one here looks like a version with enhancements.
He played the US port, this version seems to be taken from the European version
kerrex86 What’s the difference?
@@MaxOakland The Japanese and European versions of the game were changed so the player moves a little faster and other little changes.
4 years late, buuuut... This is the US version, the same one AVGN played. Easiest way to tell is in the second stage, the boss is a giant snake in the PAL version, rather than a bunch of small ones.
Dragon's Lair! venture in a castle filled with the most fiendishly enemies such as closed door, thrown pebbles, and annoying itty bitty bats, explore as you walk relatively calmed to save you princess Daphne...eventually!
Rexus I read that out loud..
It's not very cryptic, but it's way different than others, on any normal sidescroller, you just throw daggers at the dragon or ignore it and get past.
Here you make the dragon come out, move to the left, turn around, throw daggers, dodge fireballs by crouching and kill him.
Anyone who played any generic NES sidescroller would expect it to play like the first, and anyone who played FMV Dragon's Lair would expect it to be exactly like that but with more interactivity. Both of these players wouldn't have gotten past the first screen easily.
I'll admit that the AVGN played the worst, slow as molasses version, though.
16:12 What even was that?
I’m surprised that the energy bar even exists in this game, given that virtually everything seems to kill you with one hit. Even walking into that portcullis on the first screen would kill you the moment you touched it...!
Kudos to Jag for playing this monstrosity!
this can't possibly be a real game. was this like an alternative to grounding your child? you buy them this game and they cannot leave until they finish it.
No, this is the equivalent to leaving your kid outside overnight, not allowing them to drink or eat. Grounding is tame compared to this.
If this game was sped up and easy, it would be OK
Did i just die by walking into the fucking Door!?!
Ehi! You want to play a game? Here you go, you fuckers!
AVGN
You my good sir need a medal for beating this shity game
The game isn't that bad
@@decayedphoenix8865 is the worst Nes game
@@JACKSPARROW-fd6im no Dr.Jekyll and Mr.Hyde is
Well, at least the graphics looks detailed enough but the gameplay looks horrendous.
Wow. It seems you need to be a freakin ninja in order to play this game properly.
Biggest player sprite I've ever seen in an NES game. Mega Man bosses are actually background graphics so those don't count.
WUTS THE POINT OF HAVING AN ENERHY BAR WHEN EVERYTHING KILLZ U WITH ONE HIT????!!?!!?!?!?!?
Everything doesn't kill you in one hit. If you noticed, he took hits while in mid-air sometimes that only affected his health bar slightly.
I wonder why they made the controls so slow? There's no way it wasn't a deliberate choice, but why?
Because it did not have the MMC3 Mapper
Hardcore gaming at its best. Good game JagOfTroy!
This is by far the hardest game of all time
@usertheloset Yeah it's kinda close to be No.1 but this is by far harder and more annoying
Kudos to JagOfTroy, this game looks like such a chore to play
I can’t believe how short it is
Excellent graphics and animation. The music and sound effects aren’t horrible, either, but the controls, level design and gameplay are all abysmal.
Holy VHS Tapes! "Dragon's lair" is don bluth-related!!! Awesome
The game has really good presentation, sound and graphics, but all that becomes pointless in a GAME where game play and controls are priority number one and get shafted to assery.
And people still call battletoads the hardest nes game
My lord doggo brought me here!
Hail Korone, best doggo and great player
The doggo finished it quicker too! (Well... After streaming for 20+ hours before that run).
is this the europium version? It seems like the response times are quicker than I remember.
Dude, what a weird jump, I would get tricked so many times with that. However, back in the 80's it was probably a very interesting game.
Jesus, does that green king goblin thing just appear whenever he feels like it?
Dragon's Lair boss rush(no damage)
All snakes 1: America
Giant snake 2: Europe
Giant green Dragon
Part 2
Minecart trolls
Zombie Reaper
Final boss: Giant green Dragon
Amazing that they thought this could be translated to NES from the laserdisk original -.- Graphics look pretty nice, considered. I guess they tried to make it more action oriented though >.>
hey how didi you record your gameplay?
How in all holy hell did he die at 16:14??
Some sort of timer. Your health slowly goes down over time but you never notice since you die so often or I think your health goes down whenever you use your weapon.
~JagOfTroy
CrazyasaFox Kinda like Gauntlet Syndrome.
CrazyasaFox Oh I remember in the game, you have to get out because the castle is cursed, even in the arcade game and even in the cartoon, the he stayed in that castle, the more fucked up he was looking
Because terrible game design.
How disappointed was I when I found out it wasn't like the arcade...
Was this game designed for Chuck Norris to play?
AVGN brought me here just to see the second screen lol
I cannot even imagine how many hours you must have wasted 2 beat this inaccurate piece of shit game. well, you proved it's beatable and lost only one life. your efforts deserve a like.
This looks TAS to me. The boss with death he moved perfectly every time
16:13 What killed him?
+Redemption912 You never really notice but your health goes down very very slowly over time. So a hidden in-game timer fu**in' killed me.
~JagOfTroy
JagOfTroy, we got haters here saying you didn't beat this legit.
Can you tell us here if this was a real run or a TAR run as Edgar Dominguez seems to think?
The graphics and the music are pretty good, but that gameplay ruins everything.
3rd level looked so nerve racking!
It's like Prince of Persia. But shit.
what happened at 16:13
i didnt see what hit him
The Toontastic Toon
Nothing. Throwing knives for some reason decreases your health, and he had none.
Wow. Graphics are darn impressive on even this days.. but movement is slow as fuck..
i got up to the fucking little tornado on this one and couldn't time it at all with the broken controls and gave up
What killed you at 14:13 ???
why did the Angry video game Nerd never got further than the first bridge?
he did. it was the *next* screen he never passed.
Chuck Norris played this!
how did you record your gameplay
Just go and play the PAL version.
There should be a ROM hack of Dragon's Lair (Nintendo Entertainment System)
Dragon's Lair: Dirk's Revenge
After slaying Singe the Dragon, Dirk the Daring has had enough of Princess Daphne so he went back home to his children and slept alone in his bed. To make matters worse, the evil Wizard King recruited a assassin to murder Princess Daphne, thus starting a new journey for Dirk the Daring (while mourning the loss of his beloved princess).
If you have the game.... can you do a Longplay of the SNES game shadowrun. if you can do this game then shadowrun will be EZ for you.
2:08 The Lizard King I hope that this game gets a remake
Its impossible!!!
try watching the full video, he beats the game at the end. Moron.
becuz whats really funny is that a lot of people wonder why this game is harder than dark souls. well the reason that I think that is is becuz dark souls is hard becuz it's by default, but this game isn't hard becuz it's by default it's hard becuz its broken. tell me if u agree with this:D
Yep. Dark Souls is hard, but not cheap.
This game is awful.
just awesome
What other versions of Don Bluth's Dragon's Lair were there?
There's the arcade version and I think a commodore 64 version
+Isaac Adam There was a GameCube Dragon's Lair too. It was a 3D Platformer Adventure game. It actually looked decent. Not sure how hard it was, but considering it's god damn Dragon's Lair, it had to be tough as well.
+MaxxTheSlash Xbox, PS2 and PC also. It was called Dragon's Lair 3d.
You forgot about the SNES version.
HOW!???!?!!!?
It's slightly more enjoyable if you watch at at 1.5x speed
It is one I've been considering doing but have been avoiding..
I guess its about time to LP it. xD
~JagOfTroy
He didn't even collect any of the hidden powerups (you get by pressing Select at very specific locations).. Playing with those daggers is pure torture
May you both lived happily ever after ?..
Well, the hero and the princess are hitched and have kids together
I think your talking about the death @ 16:14 but apparently, you lose energy every time you attack. By the time your on the last board, your already screwed.
~JagOfTroy
Am i the only one who likes this game. in fact i love it, i grew up with it
No, in my opinion its better than the gameboy and SNES versions but isnt as good as the arcade OG.
You have a bad taste, there are so many good games on the table, but you decided to play shitty games. Good luck.
this game is really hard. i cannot get pass level 4
Remember that time when touching the gate at the first level got you killed
Why does this game take away from your energy bar without taking damage? It's difficult enough. Will never understand that one.
Yeah, as you say, by cons I wonder how it is to to finish this game without difficulty ?
The control of this game is horrible. Though I like it’s dark art theme
You didn't fight the giant snake!
