Yep, that's right. Dirk the Daring is hitting the DSi in all his glorified-choose-your-own-adventure-book finery! Dragon's Lair has been rated by Germany of all places as a digital download for Nintendo's portable service, meaning that a new generation of gamers can tell an idiotic knight what to do.
Germany's USK rating system has listed the game, spilling the beans in very much the same way as America's ESRB tends to do. This marks the first time I've genuinely been hyped for a DSiWare game. Yes, I know, it's not really much of a game, but nor is most of the trash on that service, and at least this one has nostalgia value.
Dragon's Lair. Seriously.

Do the math for Dirk, but get it wrong or divide by zero and he'll meet with a terrible fate.
According to Wikipedia, 61. Holy shit.
I remember this being in an old arcade; when it got refurbished, they took this game's machine away. Never beat it; looking forward to it.

The day this happens is the day I eat my words and pony up for a DSi.
I love Dragon's Lair!
