I always thought Dragon's Lair was a mediocre arcade game with fabulous
laserdisc graphics.  The Amiga translation has been done well, but the
graphics can't match the original, so that leaves you with a mediocre game
with somewhat fabulous graphics.  
For those of you considering Dragon's Lair, I recommend Sword of Sodan by
Discovery Software instead.
1) Sword of Sodan has much better graphics.
2) Sword of Sodan is more playable.  You actually control the on-screen guy at
all times.
3) Sword of is on 3 disks.  Less disk swapping, and you play for a longer
period of time before accessing the disk.
4) Sword of Sodan costs less, and it runs on a 512 KB Amiga.
Both games have pretty simplistic play routines, but if you want a game to
demo some impressive Amiga graphics for your friends, go for Sword of Sodan.
