This was the first game to utilize actual cell animation as the playing surface. It was the first game I ever played
that cost 50 cents per play and there was always a long line waiting to have a go at it. I have no idea how many
dollars I gave up because I got distracted by that wonderful Don Bluth animation, but it probably would have put
me through art school. 🤣

Dragons Lair and Space Ace! I remember walking into the arcade and seeing those two games and being awestruck (by both the visuals and the price). I also remember the games not being very responsive to the controls and getting very frustrated with random death sequences. They looked really cool though.

Yeah, great game to watch someone else play. :) Whenever I tried, I failed miserably, barely getting past the first couple of options. And yes, bloody expensive. When it came out on the Amiga (I think it had ten discs?) I was no better, and the amount of disc swapping made it worse. Still, it was lovely to watch and listen to. I'll have to watch that play-through and see what I missed!

Undoubtedly, this was the inaugural game to employ genuine cell animation for its interactive canvas. It marked my inaugural plunge into the realm of 50-cent-per-play gaming, drawing me into a seemingly perpetual queue of eager enthusiasts. The allure of Don Bluth's enchanting animation consistently diverted my attention, and though I'm unable to ascertain the precise sum, I speculate that the aggregate might have sponsored my academic pursuit in the realm of art.
