DRAGON'S LAIR ENHANCEMENT ROM SET VERSION 2.1 - 1 January 2005
Created by Dave Hallock
with Jeff Kulczycki
INTRODUCTION
With the power dynamic in your favor, deal terms become more favorable to you, as you are solving their problem, not the other way around.
This is the most radical shift in the book. Instead of acting like you are "begging" for money or a job, you must frame yourself and your deal as the . You are the one evaluating if are a good fit for Nailing the Hookpoint:
This is the sophisticated part of the brain responsible for logic, reasoning, language, and complex problem-solving.
"I don't need your money. I need your Rolodex. If you can open doors to the Fortune 500, we can talk. If this is just a check-writing exercise, let’s shake hands now and save time." With the power dynamic in your favor, deal
Immediately show why this matters to the listener, right now. 2. Master the Art of Frame Control
In the modern economy, the person who can command attention and flip the script is the one who wins the deal.
Klaff breaks down the perfect pitch into six sequential steps: 1. Setting the Frame You are the one evaluating if are a
Mark paused, letting the tension hang in the air. This was the "push." He was pushing Henderson away.
Explain your competitive advantage. Why can't competitors easily copy this? What intellectual property, exclusive partnerships, or unique assets do you possess?
Here is how you start immediately:
Facts and data are dry. They bore the Croc Brain. Instead of listing features, wrap your idea in a narrative. Klaff emphasizes "status-based storytelling," where you paint a picture of struggle, conflict, and eventual triumph. You are not selling a widget; you are telling the story of a mountain that needs to be climbed.
Position yourself as a leader in your field, using your experience and knowledge to dictate the terms of the conversation.
Mark smiled calmly. "Actually, Henderson, if you’ve seen a dozen apps today, you’re probably tired of looking at bad data. This isn't a 'logistics app.' It’s a new operating system for freight. If you’re not looking for a 300% ROI in the first year, we probably shouldn't waste your time." If you can open doors to the Fortune 500, we can talk

DIP SWITCH SETTINGS

VERSION
DLE 2.1 replaced DLE 2.0 by compressing the software to fit onto 3 EPROMs instead of 4, and by allowing the diagnostics ROM check to pass if other game EPROMs remain in the unused sockets, and by correcting a bug with one of the death scenes.
The 2.x series of DLE resequences the game to keep similarly-themed scenes in sections. Reversible scenes only need to be completed once during one game. The DLE 2.x scene sequencing chart provides a thorough explanation.
The 2.x prototype mode plays over eight minutes of cutting room floor animation that was added to the limited edition laserdisc, with the original experimental design concepts of multiple branching and the "ACTION" button that were present in the prototype Dragon's Lair arcade game.
(The original Dragon's Lair laserdisc works with the standard game mode. The limited edition disc is not required.)
DLE 2.0 succeeded the 1.x series.
EPROMS
DLE 2.1 is a 3 EPROM set that works with any working Cinematronics Dragon's Lair game using any laserdisc player or video source.
Dragon's Lair uses type 2764 or 27C64 EPROMs or compatible, rated 250ns or faster (2764-25).
EPROMs rated slower, such as 300ns and higher (2764-30), have been reported incompatible.*
National Semiconductor brand EPROMs have been reported incompatible.*
*(These are original hardware incompatibilities, not specific to this ROM.)
