Cabinet Information

There are at least two cabinet versions. Both are nearly identical, but they have different lower front corners like the European version in the picture above. The European cabinet was made in Italy.

Game Play

In this game you direct Dirk towards the yellow flashes with the joystick and you press the button to have him use his sword whenever it flashes yellow. If you see a flashing treasure on parts of the game, have Dirk get that treasure. You must have him get all the treasures in order to advance to the final level. The game has seven levels that you must guide Dirk The Daring safely through to help him rescue his wife Daphne from Mordroc who will force Daphne to marry him unless her husband Dirk saves her.

Descriptions of the levels are as follows:

  • On the first level, you must help Dirk escape from his outraged mother-in-law, Hilda (who believes him to be responsible for Daphne's abduction), and get to The Dragon's Lair beneath the castle. There he must find The Time Machine while fighting off a giant serpent. Once Dirk has found and activated The Time Machine, he will proceed to the next level.
  • On the second level, Dirk will be in a prehistoric era where he will make his first attempt to rescue Daphne.
  • On the third level, Dirk will be in Wonderland through The Looking-Glass, meeting with familiar characters like The Queen of Hearts, The March Hare, The Mad Hatter, The Jabberwocky, The Cheshire Cat, as well as even Tweedledee and Tweedledum (who will dress Dirk like Alice).
  • On the fourth level, Dirk will be in The Garden of Eden, where Eve will mistake him to be Adam and a couple of serpents will encourage him to have Eve eat the Forbidden Apple.
  • On the fifth level, Dirk will be in Beethoven's studio where he will be shrunk to the size of a mouse and avoiding a hungry cat.
  • On the sixth level, Dirk will be in ancient Egypt where he will fight mummies and other ancient evil.
  • On the seventh and final level, Dirk will finally have his chance to rescue Daphne and defeat Mordroc. If you make it past this level, Dirk and Daphne will return to their own time, reunite with their children and then fly off again in The Time Machine. Afterwards, the game ends.

VAPS Arcade Census

GAMES OWNED, WANTED, or FOR SALE BY MEMBERS OF THE VIDEO ARCADE PRESERVATION SOCIETY

Common - There are 36 known instances of Dragon's Lair II: Time Warp owned by one of our 900 members. Of these, 27 of them are original dedicated machines, it is a conversion in which game circuit boards (and possibly cabinet graphics) have been placed in (and on) another game cabinet, and 8 of them are only circuit boards which a collector could put into a generic case if desired.

Of the 57,121 video games (3,420 unique) tracked by the Video Game Preservation Society, this game ranks a 14 on a scale out of 100 (100 = most commonly seen, 1=least common) in popularity based on ownership records.

Wanted - There are 7 VAPS members currently looking for Dragon's Lair II: Time Warp. There is one VAPS member looking for a Dragon's Lair II: Time Warp circuit board set.

For Sale - There is one VAPS member with a Dragon's Lair II: Time Warp machine for sale. VAPS members are totally independent of VAPS and the International Arcade Museum, and we are unable to recommend, endorce, or guarantee any person or company selling games or game parts.

Rarity is NOT necessarily an indication of value. Some common games show up as very rare here because collectors don't want them (they are common because arcade operators might be sitting on tons of them in warehouses), while some fairly scarce games are grabbed by collectors every time they show up. Additionally, some games made in the last 5 years are still making money for operators and are thus not yet affordable to the typical collector. For a clue to value, compare how many people have this game vs. how many people want this game and then click on the eBay links to help determine an accurate price range.

Technical

The European version differs again (like Dragon's Lair and Space Ace) from the US version. It has a Philips VP380 arcade LD player which has RGB output, 220V and NTSC. There is no composite-to-RGB splitter board and the driver ROM is different.

Trivia

The animation for this game was completed in 1984 but its release was put on hold due to the rapidly declining coin-op market of that era.
