As I Remember ……..
Many quarters went into this arcade classic in the summer of 1986 .
Developers should be congratulated for having it available in 2024 .

Waste os money
Sound does not work. This is a timing game. Controls not responsive. I deleted it after 5minutes.
CLASSIC
I remember when I was 15 me and a friend would play for hours!! Game went away and never seen it again. Glad to have it my hand now!!! Thank you!
I can’t get the treasures

No sound on either games
Game resets half way through
Loved playing the game thought 4.99 was worth it untill you're playing and then allll of a-sudden it comes up saying the game is paused and restarts you to the beginning so you can never finish the game total waist of 5 bucks very disappointing!!
Great game. One stars please read
For all of you who are complaining about the game sending you back to the beginning. IT IS SUPPOSED TO. Your probably too young to have played it in the arcade. But unless you grab ALL of the secret objects such as the key when you first get the time machine. Or the BUTTERFLY when the cat breathes fire
(There is some in every stage). You can’t go to the end Quit assuming the developers or the game itself is messed up. This is a great port. I’m sure you can find a guide to get all the secrets

Fix the end of the mummy board
December 2018 and they still haven’t fixed this. The game ends abruptly and you can’t play the last two series. Very annoying in an otherwise cool game.
I was almost to the end!!
I was almost to the end And the game paused and then sent me back to the beginning! That is crap I paid for this app and that should not happen at all!!! I am very upset!
Game is fun till you reach level 6 😡
Everything starts out good till you reach the “mummies all around” level. Once you reach the end of the level the game pauses on its own and then it restarts to the first level when you select continue. I guess I can’t finish this game and I’m out of luck on a refund for waiting a while to finally have time to play this thing....
(Game is running on a iPhone 8 Plus with the latest iOS version)

It does have unlimited lives!!
I made a review saying their should be unlimited lives. Turns out there always was unlimited lives. PLEASE IGNORE MY LAST REVIEW AS IT HAS FALSE INFORMATION.
Great update
Love the update except for the removal of the options tab where you could edit the size of the buttons maybe in a future update you could add it back in. Also when I tap the right action it sometimes does not continue the game please fix that problem. Al so why are the achievements removed. Would totally recommended

Dragon's Lair
How do you collect items to continue the game?
How to grab treasures?
Love the artwork and the play style of the game is just like Dragon's Lair. One thing they added to this one is that you must grab various golden treasures in order to be allowed to go past a certain point in the game. They don't explain how to grab the treasures though. How do you do it? I've hit the directional button. I've tapped on the treasures. Neither work. If anyone knows let me know how you did it. Thanks.

Timing is off
I was happy to see the game on the App Store. It was one of my favorites in the arcade (I could get to the ending in a couple of quarters). This app has some nice features: achievements, the ability to save, original or director's cut, a move guide if it's too difficult.
That being said, I only rated it 4 stars because the input timing is off. In the arcade version, you always had a split-second after the on-screen flash and "chattering" noise to make a move, and this is how I timed all my inputs. In this version, if you haven't entered a move by the time you see the flash, it's too late. This becomes frustrating when you try playing with the move guide off. It's like you have to pre-load Dirk's moves prior to most situations, which sort of destroys the illusion that you're controlling the character.
Could the problem be that I'm using an iPhone 5c? At any rate, a small tweak to the timing would make this game indistinguishable from the arcade version.

Awesome classic.
I played this all the time as a kid and it works great. Easy, but very fun :)
Needs Improvement
The game is fine, except the controls are terrible and when I changed the controls to easy I didn't notice much of a difference.
An all-time favorite and a classic!
The game is perfect in my opinion. It's exactly like it was in the arcade and exactly how it should be. Nothing more nothing less. Controls work great and the game play is amazingly smooth. I really love that they don't give you the option to just to sit there and watch it like a movie, because that would have totally ruined it. This app is a dream come true for me! :-)

Better than the original!
Shame they haven't updated this for the ipad, still this is a rare arcade treasure which I'm surprised to find the only person to review on iTunes UK, this game in a word, 'unmissable'
What were they thinking?
Too many inputs. Long drawn out scenes. No breaks or pauses. Exhausting to get past the first 3 scenes. And I can't remember any of the artwork and images. Just flashy lights and mind numbing commands. And my name is Dirk, big fan of the first one.
