Here's a little cheat file for ya
---------------------------------

Asterisks denote that left & right moves may interchange depending on
screen reflections.

Intro Snake Screen: [fire],[up]
Potion Room: [right]
Bat & Collapsing Bridge: [right],[left],[right]  * (stairs on right)
Ceiling Monster: [fire],[up],[right],[down],[right],[left],[up]  *
      (stairs on right)
Rapids: [right],[left],[right],[left],[right then up],[up],[left then up],
        [up],[right then up],[up],[left then up],[up]
        *  (If Whirlpool Scene has whirlpools on left at first)
Couldren Room: [fire]....just when monster attacks you
Electric Knight: [right],[left],[up],[left],[right],[left],[right],[up]
               *  (No need for sword at end; Moves relate to sword 
                   of Electric Knight being in his right hand; left
                   of screen as you look)
Rolling Balls: [down]...about 6 times; till after Blue Ball; wait till
               balls pass each time
Closing Wall: [forward], [forward twice fast]
Dragon's Lair: * ( If falling treasure begins on Right)
              [right],[left],[back]..."Use the Magic Sword...",[fire]
  (next disk) [down],[go whichever way Singe looks around the pilar],
              ...tail thrashing...[down],[down],[down],[fire]...
              ...KILL THAT BASTARD!...
  Sit back and watch the skimpy maiden bounce out of that dress.
By the way, if you want great sounds from the game, hook it up to your
stereo, Type "L" while it loads to eliminate lo-pass filter and play
with your equalizer or treble and bass; more bass to accomodate for
the lo-pass; and it sounds great! Hope to see Dragon's Lair ][ soon!
