GAME INFO:

Info from  http://www.lcurtisboyle.com/nitros9/dragonslayer.html

Dragon Slayer is an original arcade/adventure game, with 160 screens to
go through (16 screens per level x 10 levels).  Your ultimate goal, of
source, is to slay the dragon.  To do so, you have to navigate through
all the screens (you will have to do a lot of backtracking, as you can
only carry one object at once (except treasures)).  To get past
screens, you will need things like planks (to build bridges), ropes (to
hook to rope hooks), buckets (to get water to grow magic vines), bug
spray, boots (to cross tall grass), swords and other things to get past
all of the obstacles (monsters and terrain).  You can see an example of
all of the items you can find in the 2nd intro screen shot at the top
right.  This was one of the larger games for the 32K Coco 1/2, along
with others like Time Bandit and Cashman.  The screens on all 10 levels
are arranged in a 4x4 grid.

There are two disks going around named "DRAGONS.DSK" & "DRGCHEAT.DSK".
The level data on those two disks has many bugs in it and the game
cannot be finished, you always get stuck in Level 10.  If anyone has
these you can delete them as they are useless copies.

This new disk also fixes a couple of game engine bugs that are present
with the aforementioned disks:

1. When there is more than one block of fire in a row and you tried to
   put it out, it would skip every other block (every other fire block
   would not animate and you could walk through it-you wouldn't have
   to put it out).

2. Some enemies when moving toward you would leave a trail of white
   blocks behind them.


CHEATS:
-------

The easiest way of changing Level # and # Lives ONLY:

1. Type  LOAD"CHEAT.BAS"

2. To change the saved Level # 1-10; saved as 25-34:
   Edit line 30, change CHR$(25) to a # from 25-34 ($19 to $22), or
   00 = Level 1 - Lives 3 - Score 0 - No load sequence,
   35 ($23) = Slay the dragon ending sequence.

3. To change the saved Lives # 1-121:
   Edit line 40, change CHR$(2) to a # from 1-121 ($1 to $79).
   Is 1 more life than what this says.  Using > 121 will not work.
   To play Level 1 with more Lives you must change line 30 also!

4. When done editing you can SAVE"CHEAT.BAS" but this doesn't matter.
   Type RUN to make the changes to the disk.  Then type NEW.


The slightly harder way is to load the .dsk file into a hex editor:

   $C600-C69F   High Scores.  It contains 10 entries of 16 bytes each.
                  The first 10 bytes are the Name, then $FF, then
                  5 bytes for the Score.
                  00 - A     0A - K    14 - U    1E - 4
                  01 - B     0B - L    15 - V    1F - 5
                  02 - C     0C - M    16 - W    20 - 6
                  03 - D     0D - N    17 - X    21 - 7
                  04 - E     0E - O    18 - Y    22 - 8
                  05 - F     0F - P    19 - Z    23 - 9
                  06 - G     10 - Q    1A - 0    24 - DOT
                  07 - H     11 - R    1B - 1    25 - SPACE
                  08 - I     12 - S    1C - 2
                  09 - J     13 - T    1D - 3
   $C700        Saved Level # 1-10; saved as $19 to $22,
                  00=Lv1-Li3-Sc0, $23=Slay the dragon ending sequence.
   $C701        Saved # of Lives $01 to $79.
   $C702        ?
   $C703-C706   Saved Score; i.e. 2400 is 02,04,00,00.
   $C707        ?
