Introduction

I put this together after a conversation at the 2006 Dragon's Lair Euromeet where I was told that it is has not been possible to create a transcript for Dragon's Lair 2 because it is too difficult to hear, to the point where English speaking people cannot understand some of the dialogue. I thought this strange as I think I understand all of it, so I have written what I think is said below.

The only phrase I have trouble with is where Daphne's mum says, "hold still". It could be, "hold stiff" or "hold steady" but those phrases don't make sense in the context of trying to make Dirk stop to throw something at him or hit him. In England we would say, "hold still" and that is what I hear in the game.

Hope this helps, enjoy.

Cheers

Version 1.1
- Got some words wrong in V1 after re-listening changed "'Afternoon" to "How do you do"
- Read a discussion at Dragon's Lair Forums with lots of suggestions, but I hear "frog", not fraud as you can clearly hear the G at the end. "Halls" not "heart". "black" not "fact". "Borne" not "born". "Sing" not "Swing". The discussion can be found here  :

--------------------

Notes:

- Anything in {} are my comments
- I have avoided putting in most of the expressive words like oo, ah, hee hee hee, etc. as there are loads of them and aren't really words. I have included every proper English word I hear though and the occasional expressive word where it helps the text.
- There is a type of poetry in Great Britain and other English speaking countries known as "Nonsense Poetry". In this type of poetry words are simply invented or are put together in the wrong order or both. There is a very famous nonsense poem called Jabberwocky by Lewis Caroll from the book, "Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There", and it is part of this poem that the Cheshire Cat says in the game. I have marked the start and end of the poem in the transcript. It won't make sense because it isn't supposed to, but they are the correct words.

Oh thanks a lot to publish this on the web site  !!!  
I searched a lot, everywhere...seems nobody could ever give me a clue...
I contacted Digital Leisure, Don Bluth's website...

Many words I already knew (including the nonsense poetry Jabberwocky), but some other for me are totally new...
...Only...
1) On the Dinosaurs level I always had the feeling that Mordroc was saying "you caliginous (? or whatever he says) f***ing peace of junk ! (is that possible a bad word on Don Bluth's cartoon ?)

2)On the Eden level I hear the angel saying "Go'way, no visionaries..."

What do you think ?

3)When the transcript of "Space Ace" ?
