Hehe actually the videos are ripped directly from LD and preserved as MPEG. It's as authentic as you can get without buying the arcade stuff.

Except that the color palette is horribly washed out and entire sections are missing in the Sega CD version.

For ease of play and of locating a copy you can use, get the DVD version. You play it on your DVD player using your DVD remote. It is in full color and contains the entire game.

Dragon's Lair 3D (availabe on PC and GameCube, probably other platforms) takes the same basic story and makes it into a decent third person action game.
Ow! My small intestine!

If you say one word about the Gameboy Color version, I will throw you from a moving vehicle.

That's what's great about Laserdisc. Technically, it's just a big long movie with skippable chapters. The exception is games like Cobra Command that overlaid actual graphics over the video to act as your crosshairs and laser fire.

Indeed. It's actually listed in Racketboy's article of Games That Pushed The Limits of the Game Boy

I dunno, probably some overzealous self-righteous egotistical statement like "you can't use humor in these forums! laughing is the devil's work! Sarcasm and irony elude our detection! everything is always a super serious threat or insult, ALWAYS! I AM MOD GOD! BOW BEFORE ME! RAWRRRRR!"

who wants to take out a stop watch and time how long it takes for Niode to post something like "hey buddy, you need to appreciate other people's gaming preferences, this is a chill, relaxed forum, that's why we follow you around threatening you"
