Trivia: What technology did Dragon’s Lair use to become an arcade hit?
Laserdisc
Floppy discs
Eight-way joystick
Light-detecting guns
The correct answer is Laserdisc
So why is this answer correct? : An optical disc similar to a DVD but roughly the size of a medium pizza, Laserdisc was first marketed in 1978, only a few years before Dragon’s Lair took arcades by storm. The game used the new technology to set itself apart from other arcade cabinets. While games like Gorf and Qix used pixels and vectors, Dragon’s Lair displayed fully animated vignettes drawn by Disney veteran Don Blume.
