Kohls.com - Dragon's Lair Trilogy (Wii) $19.99 + tax and .99 ship - Extra 20% off

I looked in a couple of stores and didn't see the game. I think their game inventory is very random the few times that I've looked for deals in the past also. Plus, the in-store sale was different % off compared to the website. For $0.99 shipping, it's not worth the gas. Plus, I asked and you can return in store if you want (and she told me the system is supposed to refund your shipping cost as well as long as you have the receipt).
 
Kohls video game stock is random. But if you go to the store and cant find the game you can use the kiosk there to get free shipping anywhere.
 
I have bad news for those that ordered: Promo Code EXTRA20 takes 20% off the $19.99 price. Dropped it to right at $18 shipped for me.

I'm younger than the trilogy but with the history this game has I almost can't pass up a chance to own it. Plus, the reviews I've read all say the same thing: it looks stunning.
 
Is there a customer service # I can call to tell them I "forgot" to include the discount code when I ordered? :whistle2:(

I sent an email... let's see what response I get.
 
18.00 for me after it was all said and done, thanks. Wonder why they call it the trilogy though when it doesnt have DL3 timewarp in it, space ace is the other game.

Well its very reptitive and is just strictly a game thats 100% trial and error and memorization. But it does have a lot of charm to it even if you didnt grow up playing it. I remember being in the arcade and hearing all the beeps and boops but from the back I heard this wonderful music and this great voice during the introduction and I was drawn to it like a sirens song.

It is Dragon's Lair 2:Time Warp, there was never a Dragon's Lair 3. Although Space Ace doesn't have the same storyline as Dragon's Lair, it is still considered to be a "Dragon's Lair" game. So I guess that is the reasoning why they call this package a Dragon's Lair Trilogy...

I called Kohls and there is an option to modify an existing order, so you might want to try that...

No one would have bought The Don Bluth Trilogy.
Well, I would have, but...

My order was already listed as Ready To Ship, so not sure if that would have been an option. But my email to cust serv got a quick reply that they'd be happy to do this for me as a one-time courtesy. I'm very happy. :D

Good deal! I have found Kohl's to have high marks in the customer service department. I just wish they had a proper video game department!

I meant dragons lair 3 because the box says dragons lair trilogy (trilogy means 3 dont forget) with dragons lair 3d being the 3rd entry in the series but it only has 2 dragons lair games in it. Yes I know it looks different but its still the 3rd entry much like duke nukem 3d is the 3rd entry in the duke nukem series despite not saying 3.

Saying timewarp was a typo. But yes, as I already said there are 3 dragons lair games. More technically if you want to get into the sidescrolling versions of dragons lair.

And space ace is not considered a dragons lair game by anyone. Space ace is its own game. Just because it looks simillar, if that were the case then everything would just be another game instead of what it actually is.

I dont know why I bother posting anything on here, all anyone wants to do is look for tiniest excuse to either A) Be sarcastic for no reason or B) Look for any fault they can possible exploit so they can show the other person how right they are. Im just gonna stick to bumping my trade forum thread and not bother replying to peoples threads anymore.
 
Just a head's up but I think the 99 cents shipping promo ends tonight, so if you're thinking about getting this, I'd bite before the shipping goes back up to about $6.

Wow, chill out, I wasn't trying to correct you. I was jokingly referring to the big POS known as Dragon's Lair III, not 3D.

I'm sorry you took my response the wrong way, but you clearly don't know what you are talking about.

There were only two Dragon's Lair arcade games. The first one and Time Warp, animated by Don Bluth. Before game systems could adequately show full motion video, there were Dragon's Lair side scrollers that basically retold what happened in the original laser disk game with sprite graphics.

Dragon's Lair 3D is a retelling of the original game, this time with cel-shaded 3D graphics instead of a side-scroller. Officially it isn't cannon to the Dragon's Lair story. Digital Leisure translated Dragon's Lair 3D footage to the DVD format, and since the DVD isn't as interactive as a game system, it was given traditional "Dragon's Lair" style gameplay. This game wouldn't fit at all with this trilogy because it wasn't originally an arcade game or have hand drawn animated visuals like Dragon's Lair 1 & 2, and Space Ace have.

As far as Space Ace goes, it is definitely known as a "Dragon's Lair" style game (if you like that terminology better). Space Ace is the followup to Dragon's Lair animated by Don Bluth, and when people see it, most people are going to naturally associate it with Dragon's Lair. This isn't the first time Space Ace has been bundled with the two Dragon's Lair, it had been previously been bundled as a PC edition (Dragon's Lair Deluxe Pack) and a DVD bundle (Dragon's Lair 20th Anniversary Special Edition).



You are probably right, you should interact in these fourms if you can't take some criticism. What you stated before showed me that you were clearly misinformed about the Dragon's Lair series, and I was just trying to set you straight. But don't worry, your response is typical of people who thought they were correct.

I suggest you check out Wikipedia and the various Dragon's Lair sites on the web to educate yourself better.....

Yes that is what I ment, thanks.

Digital Leisure basically took the Dragon's Lair 3D footage and made an interactive DVD out of it. I never saw the product on the shelves myself.

Back in the early 90's, when they were putting Dragon's Lair 2 on floppy discs, I believe they split the game into 2 parts, and I think they called the second part Dragon's Lair 3 too...
 
Thanks for the find OP. Just ordered it for a total of 17.xx

I really enjoyed these games back in the day so it'll be nice to give them another spin.

Logical Dolphin, I seem to remember another game like these, but it took place in a Mansion/castle and I think you controlled a pizza delivery boy. Don't remember the name though. Do you know if this was a Bluth game as well? I think it was a PC release only from back in the 90's.

That game was BrainDead 13, this game has been recently reintroduced on the iphone. I'm sure that game was released initially on the PC, it was also an early PlayStation 1 game. It is one of the few games that doesn't play well on the PS3.

This game was not a Don Bluth game. I remember this game (although it was a Teen rated game) was ridiculously ultravilolent. When your character got killed, it was usually a horrendous death. Makes the Dragon's Lair deaths look pale in comparison. Fortunately you got unlimited continues...
 
I'm curious how this compares to the blu-rays that are out now, too. This is significantly cheaper - $20 for all three games compared to $30 for each game.

As far as I know Space Ace and Dragon's Lair 2 run perfectly on Blu-Ray.

The original Dragon's Lair had a small glitch where it wouldn't allow you to select 5 lives instead of unlimited. A firmware update also made this game incompatible with the PS3 for a while, but it was corrected later. This game had glitches because it was programed prior to the finalization of the Blu-Ray BD-Java platform, and not tested with the PS3 prior to its release..

The Blu-Ray games other than running in 1080p, feature 5.1 surround sound, interview with the creators, and full length commentary.

It has been a long time since Dragon's Lair has been programed specifically for a console. The last 3 versions I can think of are for the Sega CD, 3DO, and Atari Jaguar. When the DVD capable PS2 and Xbox came around Digital Leisure opted to make DVD versions instead...

Yikes, I might need to throw down the $30 for that version as well.

Thanks Logical D.

I remember getting pretty far and thinking I was near the end, but got stuck going in circles. Never did finish it
 
The game is now on sale for $18.74 and the promo code still works, but I'm not getting the .99 cents shipping, so the total works out to higher than the ~$18.38 price which people have been getting. Hmmmm.
 
Mine shipped out today. UPS says they will be delivering it Tuesday. Damn, that means I'll have at least 3 UPS packages that day.

Dranakin: The 99 cent shipping was only for 3 days (Nov 2-4). I did post last night that I thought it was ending, though.
 
One thing to keep in mind: If you use an in-store kiosk, shipping is ALWAYS free. If they're not offering a shipping deal on the website, just pop into the store. Even if they don't have the product, you can still order it there.

Also, even the items that are ONLY sold online are still returnable in any store.
 
It looks like Digital Leisure is about to announce a PS3 version of Dragon's Lair. There is a Dragon's Lair video posted in today's PSN update.

This will probably be the definitive version of Dragon's Lair, since it will be presented in true HD, and it certainly will make up for the glitchy Blu-Ray version...
