I've always, always hated Dragon's Lair.

I hated how people would marvel at the "great graphics!" I hated how unreliable the game was (it was always broken -- the stupid laser disc).

I liked it as a movie... but it was lame as a game.

Everybody hated it. Apparently this guy was also an animation fan, so maybe that explains the discrepency. Still, it was better than the worst game every made, which was essentially the same but with actors:

...and it often cost a dollar to play.

I remember Time Traveler! It used some sort of hologram display, or a similar illusion. I always watched someone else play it, because it was too expensive, and for me that money was better spent in a beat 'em up where I could last longer.

Didn't know it was an awful game, but it doesn't surprise me...

I'm with you. I felt less like I was playing a game that interacted with me and more like I was forced to watch the cool things that animators thought of when they had access to an input device. And then every once in a while they remembered that this wasn't an animated feature and they needed to toss the user a bone so they lit something up on the screen, cause that's fun and interactive, right?
