About this game

Dragon's Lair 3D: Return to the Lair is a 2002 action-adventure platform game developed by Dragonstone Software and published by Encore. It reimagines the story of the 1983 Dragon's Lair arcade game.

As Dirk the Daring, players enter the evil wizard Mordroc's castle to rescue Princess Daphne from Singe the dragon. Familiar characters and locations return alongside new puzzles, rooms, and enemies. Cel-shaded visuals echo the distinctive style of the original, while Don Bluth produced new animated opening and ending sequences.
