MJ Clarke is associate professor in TV, film, and media studies at California State University, Los Angeles.
Vibrant prose, detailed research, and a holistic methodology make Clarke’s Dragon’s Lair and the Fantasy of Interactivity a fascinating look at a game that became an iconic pinnacle of both a technology and a genre of video games, laserdisc games, and led to a discussion of the very nature of interactivity. For a tour of Dragon’s Lair, one cannot find a better guide. -- Mark J. P. Wolf, Concordia University Wisconsin
