The player will assume the original role as Dirk the Daring, on a valiant quest to rescue the fair princess, Daphne from the menacing clutches of Singe, the Dragon. To triumph, you must fight your way through the castle of the dark wizard, and overcome new monsters and obstacles that are lurking in the shadows, awaiting and carefully anticipating your every move. Dragons Lair 3D will be using most of your favorite creatures featured in the original Dragons Lair arcade game, as well as some surprising new characters to challenge you in your quest. As a special bonus, some of these new characters in Dragons Lair 3D are being newly designed by Don Bluth.
