I think I might have found a bug in Dragon's Lair, and I'd like some people to test and report back results. This can be done on either an actual game or on Daphne or MAME (actually I'd like to hear back on all three).
After you go through all the scenes the initial time, before entering the lair, you're supposed to replay all the scenes where you died. Here's what I need: On the initial play through, make sure you die on the tilting floor scene. Then complete the game to the point where you enter the lair (you don't need to complete the lair scene). Report back if the game made you replay the tilting floor before entering the lair.
I was playing on Daphne using US rev F2 ROMs with unlimited lives (since I'm no where near good enough to slay the dragon without unlimited lives) and I noticed that while I had to replay all the other scenes where I had died (until I completed them), the game did not make me replay the tilting floor scene. It never came up at all at that portion of the game. I have confirmed this a couple of times. I'd like to check if others can reproduce this (or not) and on the different platforms (real game, Daphne, MAME) and on what ROM version.
So if you do it, please post back here with your results, including which platform you were on and what version ROMs you were using. Thanks.
