Dragon's Lair II: Time Warp

The flyer isn't the best

They released a direct sequel in the 90's with Dirk once again saving Daohne, this time from the wizard Mordac. Of course it starts in Dirks home with his 7-10 kids and mother-in-law that chases him to the castle where he finds a flying time-machine that apparently is the brother of Mordac and will take Dirk across time until he is able to defeat Mordac and rescue Daphne. Very interesting to look at and things happens constantly, which is problem since the game also encourage you to look for treasures you can pick up that isn't shown on the guide, you gotta look at the screen for that. And it feels disjointed, since the whole game stops with exception of Dirk that jumps or whatever to get it as the world looks frozen in some kind of time-spell and then it goes to the next portion of the stage. Also, the stages feels longer and since dying throughs you back to the start of the scene it feels harder. In the original the scenes were rather short in comparison.

You travel to the house of Bethoven, the garden of Eden and Alice in Wonderland and some more and frankly many figures looks like they copied Disney characters in this one. More frustrating, still looks good, but since so much more happen you miss out while eyes glued to the guide and where the treasures are, this actually more enjoyable to just watch. The extras menu also have some sketches for a stage they didn't finish and would have been some pirate ship. More voice acting and it's a bit better.
