GORMLEY, Ontario, Canada - May 18, 2007 - Digital Leisure, a leading publisher of interactive video-based titles, are pleased to announce that they have hired Frazer Nash Communications to work on the PR and Marketing for their PlayStation 3 compatible title Dragon's Lair.

"This game takes me back, I used to play the arcade machine in a right old fly pit, downstairs they had table top bingo and smelly chips, but on the street level they had slot machines and this game.. Each day it was a fight to get to play it, as so many people used to hang around the box waiting their turn..sometimes ending in fisticuffs" Said, Frazer Nash.

An instant hit in its 1983 arcade debut, Dragon's Lair has now been digitally restored and enhanced with an all-new 5.1 surround sound mix. The video has been transferred directly from the original film and cleaned frame by frame by Digital Leisure and authoring studio Infinite HD, creating a truly vibrant image. In addition, Dragon's Lair is the first release to be authored in the Blu-ray Java environment, or BD-J, an advanced format that allows users to enjoy a fully arcade-authentic experience.

All the special features on the disc are in full 1080p HD, including brand-new interviews with creators Don Bluth, Gary Goldman and Rick Dyer, and even a full length visual commentary of the game.

Digital Leisure plans to follow up Dragon's Lair Blu-ray with the release of Space Ace and Dragon's Lair II: Time Warp in the Blu-ray format.

Dragon's Lair Blu-ray will be available June 15 at software and movie retailers or now at www.digitalleisure.com.
