Taking place in medieval times, Blazing Dragons is a humorous graphic adventure featuring voice-overs by Cheech Marin, Harry Shearer, Terry Jones (an original member of Monty Python's Flying Circus and creator of the characters found in this game), as well as other comedians. Players assume the role of Flicker, a young dragon who likes to invent assorted gadgets to make his life a little easier. As the humblest dragon in all of Camelhot, he's fallen madly in love with King All Fire's daughter, Princess Flame. After years of waiting, Flicker's chance of hooking up with her has finally come -- the king's retiring and holding a tournament of epic proportions. Not only will the winner take the crown of Camelhot, but he'll also have Princess Flame's hand in marriage. Not bad, eh?
Guide the young dragon by fending off rival dragons, solving puzzles, and ultimately stopping the sinister Sir George the Human and his evil Black Dragon in this point-and-click adventure. Interact with over forty characters, including the moronic Dragon Knights, eclectic townsfolk, and other dragons. Initiate conversations by walking up to any given character, selecting the talk icon, and choosing from various lines of text. And you'll find all kinds of hot-spotted items within the kingdom of Camelhot including bones, various stamps, animals, soap, popcorn, a hand mirror, and a mop to stored in Flicker's inventory bag. Each item serves a specific purpose and you'll need to combine some items together.
Blazing Dragons features arcade sequences and mini-games. Cat-A-Pult has Flicker trying to nail nine out of ten Dragon Knights. Thumb Wrestling is a heated competition with a stronger rival dragon. The Dance Contest is played in a Simon Says fashion, while Rabbid Rabbits involves eyes, blinking and picking the correct bunny. Outlined in the manual, each mini-game has it's own unique control scheme. It's all up to you in if Flicker becomes the next king of Camelhot and gets the girl.
Manufacturer's description:
From the twisted mind of Monty Python Troupe member Terry Jones comes Blazing Dragons. This warped medieval adventure brings over 40 wack characters to life with a freakish mix of voice-over talents like Cheech Marin, Harry Shearer (of The Simpsons fame) and Terry Jones. The wild arcade action like, dragon thumb wrestling, kitty- hurling villains, brain-liquefying puzzles, point-and-click adventure, along with the animated television series will grip you with laughter - even as you lose grip of reality!
The story concerns the wicked Sir George, who's been going around giving dragons a bad name, trying to win the heart of the lovely Princess Flame and get the kingdom of Camelhot for his cronies. It's up to our hero, the slightly dozy Flicker, to put a stop to their evil antics and open the King's eyes to their wrongdoing. Blazing Dragons is similar in style to the popular Discworld.
The knight's a pathological liar.
Rapunzel's schizophrenic.
