Was The Dragon 32 Really Rubbish?
The Dragon 32 was one of Britain’s most unusual home computers of the early 1980s. Released in 1982 by Dragon Data in Wales, it arrived at the same time as machines like the ZX Spectrum, BBC Micro and Commodore 64 — but today it’s often remembered as one of the also-rans of the UK computer boom. So was the Dragon 32 really rubbish? In this video I take a proper look at the machine, playing a selection of original Dragon games and comparing them with versions released on other popular systems of the time. From arcade conversions to lesser-known titles, we’ll see whether the Dragon deserves its reputation — or if there are some hidden gems waiting to be discovered. Along the way we’ll explore the hardware, the story behind Dragon Data, and how this Welsh computer tried to compete in one of the most exciting periods in video game history. If you love retro gaming, classic home computers and the golden age of 1980s UK gaming, this one’s for you.
