Dragons rule! The young prince hopes to defeat them -- but first
he must reclaim the king's treasures. The Prince attempts to cross
castle bridges. Hatchling dragons try to prevent him. They hurl
deadly fireballs at the agile Prince. He leaps, ducks and sprints
to avoid them! When the prince gets across the bridge, he finds a
splendid storeroom -- and its ferocious guardian! He can take
every treasure he touches. He must grab them all before a magical
exit appears and he can escape. But the dragons become smarter
and faster! Their fiery breath spells doom! 


Magazine Advertizement (Electronic Games, Mar 1983, page 11):

Dan Sonnet thought he could take the heat. What's the matter,
Dan? Having a little trouble keeping up with Imagic's new game
Dragonfire? But we thought you were so tough, so cool. We never
thought an expert like you would have so much trouble sneaking
across the drawbridge to the castle. Just look at you jumping and
ducking and dodging that Dragonfire. Why, if we didn't know better
we'd say you were scared right out of your pantaloons. Well,
surprise, surprise. You made it inside the castle. Let's see how
fast you can swipe that treasure before you get hit by the
dragon's fireballs. Ouch!!! Ooooch!! Aghhh!! Shame on you! At
this rate, Dan, you're not even going to make it past the first
level. You should know by now that Dragonfire and all Imagic games
are created by experts for experts. And frankly, Danny boy, you
just don't qualify.

OTHER COMMENTS

GRAPHICS :  Very good. Uses raster effects like the other Imagic 
            games. Has more than one screen, offering more 
            variety than some others.
GAMEPLAY :  Very good. This is the major thing that Imagic 
            excelled at!
OVERALL  :  Very good. A simple but fun game. Excellent, add-
            ictive gameplay.
