Despite the high cost of the animation, a deluge of similar LaserDisc video games followed "Dragon's Lair" because of its immense popularity. To cut costs, several companies simply hacked together scenes from several Japanese anime movies that were obscure in America at the time, creating games like "Cliff Hanger" (from Hayao Miyazaki's "Castle of Cagliostro" and from "Mystery of Mamo") and "Bega's Battle" (from "Harmagedon"), both of which were released roughly around the same time as "Dragon's Lair". Later arcade LaserDisc games include "Freedom Fighter", "Badlands", "Space Ace", and "Road Blaster".
