vid makes it way more tolerable than it is.

BUT if i grew up in the 70s where the only game available was electric football i'd probably piss my pants seeing a cartoon i could control. 

See I don't get this because Thayer's Quest came out a year later, was a much better game and more interactive, and was still controlling a cartoon.  I have yet to figure out why Dragon's Lair was the one that became so popular.

They released a DVD version of Thayer's Quest a few years ago, I feel like I read about a blu-ray version but maybe that was just because I read about the Dragon's Lair one.

Mostly irrelevant but one time I was in a car equipment shop with my brother and they had a display screen that was part of some CD-player set and the demo clip was a sequence from this game, it was the weirdest thing I ever saw considering it was maybe 6 years ago and the game had long been forgotten already.

i recommend not buying the DVD version of those games because for whatever reason DVD's have this "pause" when they load new data.  the cd and blu-ray versions are closer to the original laser disc

I bought it just because it was used (therefore really cheap) and I thought it was interesting that they made it, if I actually want to play it I just play the 3DO version.

Marketing. Everyone knew about Dragon's Lair. Something being good doesn't mean it should be popular or the other way around.

I think it's pretty cool a game gives you a thousand lives and expects you to lose them all. Much better than the old way of designing those anyways... Do you respawn where you died or back at the start of the level?

there are checkpoints, dood.  you prinny stomp them and when you explode a new prinny takes over, dood.

The game is pretty simple on normal mode but FFFFFFFF hell mode is downright frustrating.

Did I mention the game gets harder based on the time you play levels?  You have a "10 hour" timer to beat the game; every time you beat a level, the timer goes down and time (day/night cycle) advances.  Different monsters and challenges appear at different times.  At night, the super hard monsters appear and the levels start to shift under your feet.  You also fight different bosses (for example, you fight a dragon in the magma place during the morning and the dragon's ninja trainer in the evening).

There's a new game + and a couple of unlockables for pulling off certain maneuvers.  For example, losing all 1,000 prinnies lets you obtain the prinny bomb maneuver which does massive damage but you lose a life every time it's used (you basically launch your buddies who aren't wearing the scarf*).

*the scarf is a story element.  prinnies normally explode at the slightest touch so etna gives you a scarf that makes you more durable.  when a prinny dies, another prinny takes over as the scarf wearer.

it's also hinted that etna uses the prinnies as sex slaves and one of the prinnies mentions that he's gotten so used to the physical abuse that it's turned into a fetish. 

Where exactly is this hint?

After getting the second or third ingredient, talk to the Prinny with the trumpet.

When I got this game, I was expecting it to at least have some rpg elements in the game, like levels and equipment but the only rpg element is talking to other prinnies, that's probably why fans of Nippon Ichi games hated it.

It would be great if Nippon Ichi could make a rip off of GTA, called Grand theft Prinny. I'd like to see what a prinny with a machine gun and sun glasses would look like.

it would look like a prinny with a machine gun and sunglasses, jesus.
