Starting my first Dragon's Lair cab build - but confused about the different retail editions ...

[Jaek DGX]

So - I want to start my first cab build (as I've indicated) and I decided to start with a favorite from my youth - Dragon's Lair

So I wanted to get the best quality and best available retail games to get the game content er...from...

So I was thinking that perhaps I should buy a copy of the 20th Anniversary Edition - since it supposedly has footage that never used in the original game 

But - an older forum on a different site had a post saying that the video was "darker" and not as clear - and the audio had a noticeable "hiss" and "cracks" from time to time

Also - when shopping for a 20th Anniversary Edition to buy - I noticed some versions had what looked like 3 DVD cases - once for each game - and other editions had 4 CD-Roms

I asked someone who was selling a version with 4 CD-Roms about this -

He said -  ' ''DVD content + PS2 & Xbox only versions of the game. As far as I can tell the one that was released for the PC was only available in the set that I have with the loose discs ''

So - now I don't know what to think.

Does the edition with the 3 "DVDs" have better game content - or more to the point - better looking game content - IE - Higher quality Video" ...or is it the same on the CD-Rom set (which I have to say - might not "look" better - but usually on eBay - sells much cheaper...

 

Moreover - is there a particular method of extracting the content from the DVD versions that would be different from the CD-Rom versions.....

...Or again ...Should I buy the 20th Anniversary at all?  Is it ACTUALLY worse in terms of the quality of the Video? 

 

For most games - deliberations like these may not matter - but this is a game that in terms of what you're looking at - is ALL video content - and I would want it to be the very best -

I mean, for crying out loud -  there is also in fact a Blu-Ray version of the game to consider as well (perhaps) - is that video "upscaled" or something close to 1080p?  to some extent....

 

Sigh....very confused.

 

If anyone is familiar with Dragon's Lair on any or all of these issues -  and can offer any advice and/or suggestions - as well possibly solid information that would help me decide on which version of the game would be best for my "Mame Dragons' Lair" cabinet - I'd be eternally grateful

 

Thanks in advance
