Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Directed by Don Bluth, a former Disney animator whose hand-drawn style defined much of 1980s animation, Dragon’s Lair introduced players to the hapless yet heroic Dirk the Daring, a clumsy knight on a perilous quest to rescue Princess Daphne from the dragon Singe.
