The Dragon 32 and Dragon 64 are home computers that were built in the 1980s. The Dragons are very similar to the TRS-80 Color Computer, and were produced for the European market by Dragon Data, Ltd., in Port Talbot, Wales, and for the US market by Tano of New Orleans, Louisiana.

A broad range of peripherals exist for the Dragon 32/64, and on top of this there are add-ons such as the Dragon’s Claw which give the Dragons access to the BBC Micro’s large range of accessories (a particularly important factor in the UK home market).

The Dragon uses analogue joysticks, unlike most systems of the time which used less versatile but cheaper digital systems. Other uses for the joystick ports include light pens.
