It’s a 2 page promo sheet to the Don Bluth arcade game Dragon’s Lair. The game hit the market on July 1st, 1983.

Using “Laser Disc Technology” they were able to pack 22 min of animation into a beautiful, yet utterly unplayable, arcade game.

hmmmm.. nothing like smashing the barrell into the wall.. over and over.. dollar after dollar…

Never played “Space Ace”… Wonder if the controls were as useless as Dragon’s Lair?

And now you can play it on your iPhone.
