MORE GAMES SUPPORTED BY MAME - MAME users are now enjoying emulations of Dragon's Lair and Thayer's Quest, as well as the Japanese version of Time Traveler, following the support of the American version about two years ago. (posted 07 Feb 2024)

TAITO LD GAME COLLECTION FOR NINTENDO SWITCH - Taito is set to release the Taito LD Game Collection for Nintendo Switch to the Japanese market on December 14, 2023. It is an HD remastered version of the three games Time Gal, Ninja Hayate, and also, in its first-ever home port, Space Battleship Yamato (a.k.a. Star Blazers). The special edition will have a collection of materials that includes a Blu-ray disc, download codes for extras, and other collectibles. The reservation period is from July 11-12, 2023. The normal version is priced at ¥9,680, and the special edition is ¥19,580.

"VERSION 1" TERMINOLOGY ADOPTED FOR EARLY DRAGON'S LAIR PCB - The first Dragon's Lair main PCB has no revision marking on it, and we at D-L-P.com have realized that the only reason we, the laserdisc gaming community, have been referring to this PCB as "revision A" is because its schematic drawing is revision A. But the revision of the drawing is irrelevant. (The schematic for the PCB marked revision C is drawing revision K.) It's more likely that PCB revisions A and B were unreleased developmental steps towards adding support for the LD-V1000 laserdisc player and solving problems with the 4Mhz clock. We have updated this website to change all mentions of a "revision A" (Rev. A) PCB to a "version 1" (v1) PCB for technical accuracy. The three known USA Dragon's Lair / Space Ace PCBs: version 1, version 1 revision C, and version 2 revision A, per their on-board markings, are pictured in the Virtual Library.
