WHY Was Dragon’s Lair So HARD on the C64?!

Two Dragon’s Lair games on one floppy, and BOTH were absolutely brutal!


Side 1: Dragon’s Lair

Side 2: Escape from Singe’s Castle


Loaded from the original floppy using a real Commodore 64, 1541 disk drive, and Commodore 1702 monitor.


Did you ever beat either one?

Hey, it’s Tom from Texas. I run the machines we grew up with.


No emulators. No shortcuts. Just real hardware powered on the way it was meant to be. The click of keyboards, the whir of floppy drives, and the glow of a CRT hitting you right in the nostalgia.


If you remember swapping disks, waiting for games to load, or hearing a startup sound that instantly took you somewhere else… you’re in the right place.


Here you’ll find:

🕹️ Real hardware gameplay across C64, Atari, DOS PCs, consoles, and more

⚔️ Head-to-head comparisons (C64 vs Atari, C64 vs NES)
