HomeLAN - What other unique gameplay elements will there be in Dragon's Lair 3D? Rick Dyer - In the new Dragon's Lair 3D, there are many more characters to interact with, some being from the original (giddy goons, Cyclops Worms) and some which are new (Drakes, Knights). Dirk now has an extra weapon, the crossbow which allows him to use three different types of arrows (steel, fire and magic). Dirk also aquires special abilities from the dragon essences that he collects as he goes through the game. These abilities allow him to do special moves like fly or see through walls. Dirk will also use more than one sword in the 3D version. He has a flaming sword and combined with some of the dragon essences he can do extra attacks with the swords. Overall the new 3D version is just much bigger and more interactive.
