Weird Dragon's Lair level? What?

[teamatomics]

Ok, so check out this Starcade video gameshow, at 14:45, there's a cavern near the "chomping doors" where Dirk walks over lumps to get across some green slime, avoiding tentacles?? What? I've never seen that level, is it on the original laser disc only?....


Here's the clip....14:45

wow Ive finished that game at least 1000 times... never seen that in my life, I have a couple original and 25 anniversary LD's I should watch them to see if if it's there... weird for sure

[teamatomics]

Ya Terry......Right???

I was hoping you'd chime in, cause I know between the two of us we've finished this thing in several different versions, and that scene is nowhere to be found!? I watched all the extra footage, or at least I think I have....so strange!!

Maybe going right is an option on the spammy gate screen?
I've always gone straight I might have to go play when I get home

It's weird

The producer didn't think having two Mike's on the show at the same time was an issue?

Never seen that one either. It seemed vaguely familiar, but then not.

It's a deleted scene, it wasn't used in the finished game. I guess Starcade either got an early review copy of the game, or was sent early video footage to air separately on the show. It is playable in Dragon's Lair 20th Anniversary, along with several other deleted scenes as a bonus feature.

Here's a bunch of alternate or deleted footage.

Hmm I have that LD maybe I should actually play it... do I need different ROM revision

Gameguy,

I think you're right, Starcade must have obtained early video of the game.
I guess it's like the scene in the "attract mode" where the Giddy Goon gets sliced in half as he's floating up in mid air in the opening of a spiral stairwell, it's never been in the actual game either, so it's interesting that it still
made it to the "attract" sequence.

Apparently you would need the 2.0 ROMS or above.

That scene with the Giddy Goon is another deleted one that's playable in the 20th Anniversary Edition. It was pretty cool finding all these deleted scenes when this release first came out. I have the PC version of this release.

Ok, first off, this was obvious a US show that never aired in Canada? Don't ever recall seeing it before.

And secondly, what's with grown man Mario competing on this show against kids? lol

Awesome, I have that 20th anniversary PC edition too, I guess it's been a while since I've seen the bonus material

I remember talk of Don Bluth putting together a Dragon's Lair movie, which
I thought was a fun idea, and has potential, but no news has been released
yet I don't think. Might be on the back burner.
