Dragon's Lair Coming to Blu-ray Disc* in True 1080p HD

 

Fully interactive on Sony PlayStation 3* and Blu-ray* Movie Players



    GORMLEY, Ontario, March 26 /PRNewswire/ -- High Definition gaming has
 arrived! Dragon's Lair continues to revolutionize the video-game industry
 by becoming the first game title ever to be released for the Blu-ray* Disc
 High Definition format using BD-J.
     An instant hit in its 1983 arcade debut, Dragon's Lair has now been
 digitally restored and enhanced with an all-new 5.1 surround sound mix. The
 video has been transferred directly from the original film and cleaned
 frame by frame by Digital Leisure and authoring studio Infinite HD,
 creating a truly vibrant image. In addition, Dragon's Lair is the first
 release to be authored in the Blu-ray Java environment, or BD-J, an
 advanced format that allows users to enjoy a fully arcade-authentic
 experience.
     "I've seen the newly restored footage and it just looks amazing" says
 Don Bluth, original creator of Dragon's Lair. "It looks even better than I
 can remember. The visuals, the 5.1 surround sound audio, all I can say is
 'Wow!' Now a whole new generation can enjoy Dragon's Lair all over again."
     All the special features on the disc are in full 1080p HD, including
 brand-new interviews with creators Don Bluth, Gary Goldman and Rick Dyer,
 and even a full-length visual commentary of the game.
     Digital Leisure plans to follow up Dragon's Lair Blu-ray with the
 release of Space Ace and Dragon's Lair II: Time Warp in the Blu-ray format.
     Dragon's Lair Blu-ray will be available April 9th at software and movie
 retailers as well as online at www.digitalleisure.com.
