Dragon's Den

About

Dragon's Den is an arcade action game where you ride a flying horse through treacherous terrain to confront a fire-breathing dragon. Developed by Commodore in 1983, the game focuses on quick reflexes and precise timing as you navigate caves, avoid obstacles, and strike at the dragon's weak points. The single-player experience leans into fast-paced combat with a focus on straightforward controls and challenging levels. What sets Dragon's Den apart is its early use of animated sprites and scrolling environments for the Commodore 64, which was praised by retro gaming circles for pushing hardware limits at the time. While not a mainstream hit, its aggressive difficulty and minimalist design have earned it a small but dedicated following among classic arcade enthusiasts. Released just before the 1983 video game industry crash, it remains a curious artifact of the era's experimental development scene.
