Dragon's Lair 3D: Return to the Lair

Released in 2002 by Dragonstone Software, the game is an action-adventure remake of the original laserdisc arcade Dragon's Lair. The game follows a similar story to the original, with Dirk the Daring tasked with rescuing Princess Daphne from the evil dragon, Singe. Many of the characters, events and locations from the original game make a return appearance in an expanded form, along with new puzzles, rooms and enemy encounters.

Dragon's Lair 3D is the first game in the series to not be controlled through Quick Time Events and utilizing pre-rendered cutscenes for the main thrust of the gameplay. The castle is mostly linear, where the original was randomized with each play through. This remake also includes a number of boss fights that are often made up of characters from the original arcade game. In this game, Dirk is given both Health and Mana meters that can be upgraded throughout the game. Dirk is also given a crossbow in addition to his sword, which can be used as an alternate weapon in long-range battles. The crossbow is also heavily used in puzzles. Hidden treasures are included in the game (much like in the original arcade game's sequel), which reward players who take on optional challenges with a higher point total at the end of the game.
