I just got through playing Triad Stone for the LaserActive system (think Genesis Laserdisc add-on), and I've just gotta say this game is sweet! It plays just like Dragon's Lair (actually more like Tiime Gal or Super Don Quioxte) but with a twist. In addition to pressing the proper direction when prompted, you must also "power up" at certain times by rapidly pressing the B button and you must specify a direction when using your sword (up, down, left, or right). These little twists make a good game even better!
My only complaint is that the time the system gives you to make a sword move seems really quick, it almost has to be an instantaneous move. The only times I've died are on sword moves. Other than that, I'm in love with this game. Has anyone ever gotten to the end? I managed to pass three stages, but died on the fourth (there are eight in total).
Incidentally, are there any more LA games like this?
