Brain Dead 13

Sony Playstation - Released - March 6, 1996

Brain Dead 13 is an animated adventure game that uses the same style of gameplay as Dragon's Lair and Space Ace. You play as Lance, a computer repairman who has been summoned to the castle of Dr. Nero Neurosis, a talking brain that lives in a vat of goo. There you are pursued by cartoon villains -- mainly Fritz, a half-man, half-animal henchman who has a ton of weapons in his overcoat and takes a lot of physical abuse. This is a point-and-click game where you have to consistently react in order to get yourself out of danger or you will be killed in some comically violent way.

Dragon's Lair

Dragon's Lair

Atari Jaguar CD - October 15, 1995

Dragon's Lair features the hero, Dirk the Daring, attempting to rescue Princess Daphne from the evil dragon Singe, who has locked Princess Daphne in the foul wizard Mordroc's castle. The screen shows animated cutscenes, and the player executes an action by selecting a direction or pressing the sword button with correct timing, requiring the player to memorize each scenario in order to clear each quick time event. The comedy aspects of the game stemmed not only from the bizarre looking creatures and humorous death scenes, but also the fact that while Dirk was a skilled knight, he was somewhat clumsy in his efforts, as well as being a reluctant hero, prone to shrieking and reacting in horror to the various dangers he encounters.

Dragon's Lair

Apple Mac OS - Released - 1990

Dirk the Daring was a heroic, if clumsy knight. When Princess Daphne was kidnapped by the dragon, Singe, and taken to his castle, Dirk set out to rescue her. Due to limitations of the computers at the time, this conversion of the coin-op arcade game, Dragon's Lair only features the first half of the game, which consists of entering Singe's Castle and encountering the dragon. The adventures are continued in a second part which completes the conversion of the arcade game. Dirk the Daring is controlled by the player, who views Dirk's actions on the screen from a third-person visual. The game is reactive and players must press the right controller direction or action button at the right time to have Dirk avoid traps, defeat monsters and otherwise stay alive.

Space Ace

Apple IIGS - Released - 1990

Space Ace is a laserdisc video game produced by Don Bluth Studios, Cinematronics and Advanced Microcomputer Systems (later renamed RDI Video Systems). It was unveiled in October 1983, just four months after the Dragon's Lair game, then released in Spring 1984, and like its predecessor featured film-quality animation played back from a laserdisc.
Space Ace

Space Ace

Commodore Amiga - Released - 1990

Intergalactic hero Space Ace faces off against the evil Commander Borf, who hits him with an Infanto-Ray, turning Ace into an adolescent version of himself called Dexter. Now Ace/Dexter must not only rescue his girlfriend Kimberly but also prevent the destruction of the Earth at the hands of Borf. Readysoft's version of the laserdisc arcade game Space Ace for 16-bit computers follows the mold of their earlier Dragon's Lair adaptation: only selected scenes from the original game are used, with all the graphics redrawn from the original cel animation to fit the capabilities of the target machines. As in Dragon's Lair, the game consists of the cartoon movie running by itself, with the player being required to press the right button at the right time (either moving or firing Ace's gun) or see one of many death animations. The original arcade game offered some alternate paths through the game by letting the player choose between playing as Dexter or turning him back into Ace - the computer version is missing this option, and one always plays as Dexter or Ace depending on the scene.

Atari ST - Released - 1991

Another Laserdisc conversion of one of Don Bluth’s cartoons: Space Ace II: Borf’s Revenge continues the saga of young cadet Dexter, who tries to free his love Kimberly from the clutches of the evil nemesis Borf.

You never control Dexter directly, you just choose an appropriate direction. Each of the 27 seconds-long scenes requires one to three keystrokes.

Timing is crucial; you will need to press keys in the exact second. Luckily, you’re allowed to save your progress at four fixed points. Space Ace II: Borf's Revenge is not a real sequel of the first one, it's a kind of re-packaging with scenes from the original arcade laser disc game that were left out of the home versions due to large file sizes.
