Dirk The Daring (Bob Sarlatte, Saturday Supercade) and his girlfriend, Princess Daphne, help an old wizard regain his confidence in this Dragon's Lair episode. Howard Morris, one of the show's voice directors, guest stars in "The Story of Old Alf".
Narrator Clive Revill was later the 1st voice of Alfred on Batman: The Animated Series before being inexplicably replaced by Efrem Zimbalist, Jr.. Revill's job included showing the viewer two options that Dirk could use in a specific situation, as shown above.
What that does is it makes the show an infomercial for the video game. Which probably didn't sit well with the FCC, being that it was a network show.....!
Rating: B-.

There's also the fact that this cartoon boasted inferior animation to the game that inspired it, not that ABC could afford Don Bluth on a TV budget.
Bluth did do some TV work back in the day. It's not ABC that couldn't afford him. It was Ruby-Spears, the show's producers.
