According to SteamDB / SteamSpy, Dragon's Lair has 48K owners, Dragon's Lair II has 7600, and Space Ace has 6650. They suckered enough people to make a profit... at ten bucks each. Yow. (Though the games have gone on sale for five bucks each so most of those sales must have come from those.)
I wouldn't mind it if they wanted to port the other stuff they're hoarding distribute, but it looks like that's never going to happen.
