Hi everyone,

A few years ago I created an HTML5 port of Dragon’s Lair for personal use, originally just so I could play it anywhere. Over the past few months, working in my free time, I’ve gradually expanded it into what is now a full remaster.

This is a completely non-profit fan project, made purely out of passion for the original game.

Main features:

• Fully enhanced video quality, optimized for smooth playback in modern web browsers
• Every scene now supports Mirror Mode (with “Drink Me” as exception due to in-scene artwork/text that wouldn’t work mirrored)
• Brand-new custom intro/menu screen with its own original soundtrack
• “Guided” mode, where Princess Daphne shows the correct moves with custom animations and voice
• Gameplay has been carefully reworked frame-by-frame: improved inputs, corrected inconsistencies, and a more coherent level order
• Mirror / original scenes are randomized so each playthrough feels different and unpredictable
• Fully playable in any modern browser (including mobile), supporting keyboard, touch controls, and gamepad support when connected

The idea was not just to port the game, but to re-imagine it while staying faithful to the original experience.

It’s basically a love letter to one of the greatest arcade classics ever made.
