The Object
You, Dirk the Daring, are on a quest to rescue the fair Princess
Daphne who has been kidnapped again and is being held captive by the
Evil Wizard Mordroc. To do this, you must survive a perilous journey
and defeat all of your adversaries. Make your way through the castle
and caverns by using your keyboard to move and wield your sword or
crossbow. Beware of your foes as they are numerous!
Playing the Game
You can control Dirk by using the cursor keys and space bar as UP,
DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT and SWORD. On the keyboard, use either the regular
cursor keys or the cursor keys on the numeric keypad if the "NumLock"
is off. Use the Space Bar for Sword.
When playing the game, remember that you control the actions
to the events that unfold throughout the game. You don`t directly
control the character`s movement but rather you must make the correct
moves at the appropriate time to survive the scene. This means, for
example, that just pressing "Left" doesn`t necessarily mean the
character will move left.
When the demo scene begins, you will have to wait for the right time
to make the first move. Yellows flashes will tell you that a move is
about to occur and give you a hint on what key to press. If the flash
occurs to the left of the character, it is very likely that the move
is left. When a flash occurs on an enemy, the move is usually sword.
(SPACEBAR) If you continually die on the first move, you are not
making the correct move, or you are not making the move at the correct
time. Try pressing the correct first move repeatedly as soon as the
game begins. At first you will hear "Bad Move Beeps" (low pitch) until
it becomes the correct time for the move to be made, at which time
you`ll hear a "Good Move Beep" (high pitch) meaning the correct move
has been made and it is accepted.
If you find that you are continually dying at a certain
point in the game, then you must make a move just before this point.
You can try all of the five combinations (Up, Down, Left, Right,
Sword) and one of them will work. Sometimes the timing is tricky with
several moves close together but if you watch the video closely and
listen for "Good Beeps" then you notice when you`ve passed one move
and need to make the next move.
The Demo scene is called "Dragon Wings". You must trek your way
through the falling platforms to get the Dragon Wings. There are
three different colored platforms; two of which will drop during a
timed sequence. You must advance towards the end, staying on the
platforms that do not fall. The first move is `UP` when you see the
yellow flash, press `UP`. The second move is `LEFT` when you see the
flash to the left press `LEFT`. Good luck!

This menu selection starts the game. Press the SPACEBAR when the

Stop Game
This menu selection stops the current game. Stopping the game will
immediately end game play and return you to the title screen.
Full Screen Start
You can start Dragons Lair III Demo in full screen by
launching the game from a DOS command line or Start>Run and adding /f
after the program name, for example: C:\DL3\DLair3 /f. This allows
the game to be played without ever having to use the mouse.
Playing Deaths Only
If the game plays only the death sequences, you have an
incompatible video codec in your computer. You can try using the
/deaths switch and this may solve the problem (ie. C:\DL3\DLair3
/fdeaths). If this doesnt help, youll need to use Add/Remove Programs
within the Control Panels to find any third-party video codecs that
are installed in your computer and try uninstalling them.
DVD
Dragon`s Lair III is also available for DVD-Video (for DVD
movie players but fully interactive). The DVD release contains the
entire game, plus hours of extras, including making of documentaries
and the Dragons Lair III Soundtrack.
