DRAGON'S LAIR - USA

• On some versions of Dragon's Lair the programmers left a secret Easter Egg that allows you to have unlimited lives.  To access it, wait for the Attract Mode to begin, then hold the joystick UP + LEFT and press the SWORD button while inserting your quarters.  Release the joystick and then select 1 player.  You will now have unlimited lives until you complete the game.
• If you lose your last life on the "Drink Me" scene, when Dirk's skeleton crumbles down, the bottle with the "Drink Me" sign is missing but replaced with a loaf of bread and a sign that says "EAT ME".
• If you lose your last life on the "Black Cauldron" scene, when Dirk's skeleton crumbles down, a ladder appears on the left side of the room that was never there before.
• If you lose your last life on the "Wooden Catwalk" scene, when Dirk's skeleton crumbles down, there is a hole in the wall that appears on the left with stairs going up that was never there before.

DRAGON'S LAIR - EURO

• This is the description of how you could get unlimited lives in Dragon's Lair Euro, probably due to a bug in the program. Thanks to MacDLSA for detailing this trick. This cheat has been tested and confirmed to work on Dragon's Lair Euro Rev.D1, with attract mode sound enabled via dip switch setting.
  The trick works this way :
  - Start a 2 players game;
  - Player 1 must lose a life;
  - Player 2 must complete the game (defeat the dragon);
  - Now Player 1 has unlimited lives. He will lose all of his lives, but continue to play with the last life over and over.
  The trick works even if Player 2 completes the game with the second or another life, as long as Player 1 still has a life to play. After the trick is enabled, every time Player 1 loses a life, the game resumes always from the same room, even if it has been succesfully completed already. The room sequencer routine "crashes" so there's the chance a previously completed room returns to be played.
• When you play the game with attract sound disabled, only the very first attract sequence is played correctly. After that, all attract sequences will play longer than expected and show you a part of the drawbridge scene footage.

SPACE ACE

• On some versions of Space Ace the programmers left a secret Easter Egg that allows you to have unlimited lives.  To access it, wait for the Attract Mode to begin, then hold the joystick DOWN + LEFT and press the SWORD button while inserting your quarters.  Release the joystick and then select 1 player.  You will now have unlimited lives until you complete the game.
• On frame number 32163, during the final battle between Borf and Ace, Borf is standing there without his pants.

TIME TRAVELER

• Time Traveler has an interesting Easter Egg where you can see both Rick Dyer and his son dancing around.  To access this, you must press and hold down both player 1 and player 2 buttons while pulling down on the joystick.  If you press both player 1 and player 2 buttons while pushing up on the joystick, you will see the game's designers. 

THAYER'S QUEST

There are a few secret warps in Thayer's Quest :

• The first warp is just after you receive the Hunting Horn. Don't choose a place to go, just press the Hunting Horn key and you will be teleported to the Black Keep using the Hunting Horn on those Lizard Men.
• The next one has a slight glitch with it, but it still works.  After you receive the Magic Bow from the Amazon Woman, press the Magic Bow key.  Here is where the glitch happens.  You will see the next scene on the disc (which happens to be a death scene) of you trying to steal the Bow from the Amazon Woman but wind up getting stoned to death, then it will show you the next scene on the disc of you walking toward the Amazons again. At this point the screen freezes.  The reason for this is that the game "thinks" that it's playing the scene with Thayer using the Magic Bow on the Hedge Maze, but the LD player never searched to that point.  Simply press the "replay key" and the game will then show the correct scene of you using the Magic Bow at the Hedge Maze.
• The third and final warp happens just after you have use the Blood Sword to harvest the Silver Wheat.  Press the Crystal key.  You will be teleported back to the 3 elementals as you use the Crystal to destroy them.

US vs. THEM

• In Us vs. Them, the Easter Egg allows you to watch the whole disc from start to finish.  To do this you must hold the trigger button in while inserting your coins.
