Atari Video Computer System / 2600

DRAGONFIRE

· There are 9 different castles in the game, which can be recognized by their color.  After #9, the last castle keeps repeating and the difficulty does not increase. Here are the castles and their respective dragons:

   Castle              Dragon
(1) grey                  green
(2) green                orange
(3) orange              blue
(4) green                purple
(5) green                red
(6) blue                  yellow
(7) green                orange
(8) purple               black
(9) purple               white

· On the first 4 castles, you can safely stand on the left side of the treasure room and the dragon can’t hit you. {Scott Stilphen}

· Hold FIRE to jump, then immediately press the joystick in the opposite direction your character is facing while continuing to hold FIRE. Your character will seem to run backwards before turning around.

· BUG: On the 1st screen, start running left and press SELECT.  You’ll turn into a “line” and slip between the fireballs and into the treasure room (see picture).  You’ll also lose your score.  Be sure to hit SELECT twice each time, otherwise you’ll change it into a 2-player game. {Scott Stilphen}

· BUG: On a 2-player game, if  one player gets hit on legs when leaving the treasure room, the other player will be penalized for it!  {Russ Perry Jr.}

· FRYING: Get a black & white castle to appear.  All the treasures will be in a row and look like the word "in". The dragon will spout few, if any, fireballs. Touch one of the prizes without running it over and you just keep collecting points, nonstop!  {Chris Goggans}
