Gameplay

Dragonslayer is a game based on the 1981 Dragonslayer film, in which the player is a magician determined to rid the land of the last dragon, Vermithrax Pejorative. [1]

Reception

David Ladyman reviewed Dragonslayer in The Space Gamer No. 46. [1] Ladyman commented that "Dragonslayer is a simple, but imaginative game. As usual, I think the price is somewhat steep for what you get. If you've seen the movie more than twice, get the game - you'll enjoy it. It has flaws, but they can be avoided. If you like to tinker with and fine-tune the gaming systems you buy, you'll probably like Dragonslayer also." [1]
