True love's kiss brought Daphne out of her trance, and together Dirk and the princess returned to their home in the enchanted forest, prepared to live out the rest of their lives in peace and happiness. Expanding like a balloon, Mordroc floated into the air where Dirk was able to pop the bloated wizard with one mighty swing of his sword. Using the wizard's own magic against him, Dirk managed to get the Ring of Death onto Mordroc' s finger. ![]() Having pursued the evil wizard through the depths of time, Dirk confronted Mordroc in the chamber where Daphne lay in a deep, magical slumber.

Dirk catches the falling orb, exits the castle, and warps back to his home on the Time Machine. When Father Time shoots his beams at Dirk, The knight grabs a reflective panel that ricochet two bolts into Mordread, abruptly aging her backward and forward before finally turning her into dust. As Dirk dodges the bolts and the pursuing Alarm Clock guard, Mordread sneaks under Father Time's throne in order to drop the orb imprisoning Daphne into the Vortex of Eternity. Upon the throne of the Chamber, two incarnations of Father Time (a white bearded old man and baby new year) fire energy bolts at Dirk. Dirk chases the witch into the golden Vortex Castle, evading the castle's Alarm Clock guards to reach the Vortex Chamber. Their final encounter takes place in the Land of Time, where Dirk is attacked by clock henchmen after Mordread's Time Machine crushes a clock house.

For most of us however, this is a totally forgettable title."After destroying the evil wizard Mordroc in his bid for marriage to your beloved Daphne in Dragon's Lair II: Time Warp, Mordroc's evil sister Mordread is demanding revenge. So, I can only find it in me to recommend this game to hardcore Laserdisc adventure aficionados that simply can bear the lesser quality of this third title in the series. The animation is much shoddier, with a lesser palette of colors, with much fewer interesting background elements and also, with music and sounds that are again, immediately recognizable as cheesy, cheap. ![]() Unlike the Dragon's Lair NES version of the game, this one is not a platformer, it's the same mash up of story driven cartoon shenanigans but, unfortunately, the beautiful style of the original is replaced by a more budget look and feel. However, you're more of a button masher, and don't really have much of a say in how the story goes. The action on screen can be very diverse, with your protagonist always looking to dodge, fight, move, etc from a variety of situations. Just like the Laserdisc original, Dragon's Lair 3 is the same kind of game, it asks of you to be very careful at the action on screen and at the right moment press a determined number of buttons to keep the story going. ![]()
