Why, God? WHY??

We've blogged it, we've mentioned it live on stage, we've started a petition.  We've even tracked down the people responsible, hidden in their wardrobes and jumped out waving placards draped in their family's clothing and screaming obscenities.

Yet still it goes on.

The lumbering hunk of non-fun that is Dragon's Lair has reached out a foul tendril and contaminated yet ANOTHER games system.

Not content with a HD version (like laserdisk only x 1000 more exciting), we can now 'enjoy' 'controlling' the 'game' on the Nintendo DS.  C&VG reports it uses the touchscreen AND includes a rumble feature.  That should cover up the startling lack of gameplay then.

The only bright spot is the screenshot above, which seems to show Dirk the Deadly being drowned in a tidal wave of piss.

Oddly enough, that was in our top five in the last list of threats we sent to the publishers.

If we're not careful, we'll soon have to put up with - Wii, Xbox Live Arcade, mobile, digital TV, iPod, game and watch and web browser versions.

All trumpeting the incredible graphics and 'classic' 'gameplay'.

'Bollocks.'

Update: It also has speech recognition.  Oh god.  "NO!  Don't jump that way you useless f---- c---.  Why the f--- did you f----- jump that way you pointless sack of f------ s---"  Should be even less interactive than ever.
