Dragon's Lair (Arcade1Up Arcade Cabinet): Part 3 - Analyzing Emulation

As one of the world's greatest Don Bluth and Dragon's Lair fans, I almost jumped on this cabinet when it was originally released but I couldn't justify the price. Home Depot had the units on sale for $479 and I got $50 off of that too - making this pick up a nice $429.

In this final video of several - we will take a very deep dive into the emulation side of things as well as discuss what makes emulation of these games accurate or not.

I'll also give you my final disposition on the cab.
