Come May 18, the Xbox 360 will join historical icons like the Sega CD and Philips CD-i as one of the many proud platforms (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon%27s_lair#Platform_ports) to receive a port of Advanced Microcomputer Systems' classically animated laserdisc fable, Dragon's Lair (http://www.joystiq.com/game/dragons-lair).

If you count the

The port also features a "full watch" mode for people too lazy to use either control method, as well as those who enjoy buying ancient animated feature films with MS Points.
