Dragon’s Lair was an okay toon, hope it includes Space Ace too.

Dragon’s Lair! That was the name I couldn’t remember. I think I have a copy of the arcade laserdisc around here somewhere, though. I knew my readers would know about these things.

Oooh, Kwicky Koala. That show was pretty fun. Avery’s involvement was very apparent, the whole program had a very 50s MGM feel to it.

And yes, that was Dragon’s Lair. Just about every other popular video game had a cartoon in the 80s, so the video game that was a cartoon was pretty much a no-brainer.

The falling dog looks like one of the bumbling acrobats from a backup segment of the early 80s’ “Kwicky Koala Show”, a Hanna-Barbera effort about the world’s fastest koala (and his wolf pursuer). The other backup segments had a con artist dog and a wildcat in a national park with Groucho Marx’s persona.

this show was one of the last things Tex Avery worked on before his death.

The one on the bottom right looks like Don Bluth’s Dragon’s Lair. I only remember it as the world’s worst videogame, and never realised there was a cartoon of it. Maybe that part didn’t make it to the UK.
