ARTHUR IS RELEASED - Shaun Wood at LaserCon has developed the Arthur PCB Replacement for Dragon's Lair and Space Ace games, to substitute for the main logic board.  Slightly smaller than the original board, Arthur incorporates all the previous Merlin MultiROM technology, which allows the options of multi-game play and laserdisc player model upgrades.  Arthur also natively integrates the Space Ace annunciator board circuitry and a volume control for the joystick feeback sounds.

DRAGON'S LAIR COMES TO THE TI-99/4A COMPUTER - Software developer Mike Brent has licensed Dragon's Lair for release on cartridge for the Texas Instruments TI-99/4A produced in 1981.  His new hardware design for the cartridge, as well as some uniquely crafted software, allow this TI computer to play the video for the entire game at a resolution of 192x128 with 15 colors at about 9 FPS and 13khz audio, which would have dropped jaws in the mid 1980s, and is now primed to become the most impressive home version of Dragon's Lair on any machine from the pre-CD-ROM era, considering its full game content.  The game's release is scheduled for early 2019 with a production quantity of up to 100.
