iPhone Dragon's Lair priced down, down, down to $0.99

Nice. I was waiting on a price drop. Downloaded.

I'll buy that for a dollar!

Seriously though, it's crawling. I started the download about 5 minutes ago and it's still less than 20% done.

We're probably overloading their server. I bought it, too. I've always wanted to play it and I figured, I probably won't ever find it for cheaper than 99 cents, and if it's on my iPhone I'll even find time to play it.

Actually, check your download, Scott. My download finished in less than 5 minutes.

Sometimes I get the feeling that the iPad was designed and put out so that the race to the bottom (price wise) with apps could reset for a while. Things had leveled out at a dollar per app for most apps on the iPhone, and then the iPad came along and developers got wide eyed at the possibilities of selling their apps for a price that could actually net them some profit. Great for them, not as great for the consumer.

I've said it before and I'll say it again; put good content in the app store, price it for a dollar, and I'll buy it, even if my monthly phone bill winds up being 20 or 30 dollars more than it should be, due to all the impulse spending.

I'm such a video game deal junkie I bought this and I don't even have an IDevice :-/

I do plan to get the next Iphone though.

Not to poop on the party, but this game is pretty bad. Note that I'm in my thirties and still have memories of the old arcade scene before and during the crash. I know the limitations of the games of the time, but Dragon's Lair doesn't even play like a game... it's more like a spastic movie where the player's actions and Dirk's rarely match. The arrows on the iPod Touch light up in a futile attempt to guide you through each stage, but by the time an arrow glows it may already be too late to act.

Oh well, at least it only cost a dollar to rekindle my hatred of this "game." Couldn't afford the space on my iPod Touch, though, so I gave it the old heave-ho and replaced it with Street Fighter IV.

Just got it!

I've been playing this on the iPhone (and iPad) and it pretty much confirms my suspicions playing this game growing up... it cheats. This game is designed to steal quarters. Even when you nail the move you die. You have to know the move before it even happens in some spots.

Whoaa what a deal!!

Where do you put the LaserDisc?

Picked this up yesterday. At 99 cents, it was a simple decision. I wasted so much money on this game when I was in college...

I want "Space Ace" to drop to 99 cents too!!!

Will this work on the iTouch? I think I'm running 2.2.1 firmware.

Um, I bought the game and no on-screen controls appear so I insta-fail at the first QTE. Is this a general bug?

Happening to me, also. Very irritating.

I'm having the same no controls problem. I'm on a 3G. Anyone fix it?

No control here either on a 3G running iOS 4. Even deleted and reinstalled.

Looks like EA knows about it and they are fixing it. On the iTunes description of the game, there is a blurb about it not working with iOS 4
