DRAGON'S LAIR - USA

• On some versions of Dragon's Lair the programmers left a secret Easter Egg that allows you to have unlimited lives.  To access it, wait for the Attract Mode to begin, then hold the joystick UP + LEFT and press the SWORD button while inserting your quarters.  Release the joystick and then select 1 player.  You will now have unlimited lives until you complete the game.
• If you lose your last life on the "Drink Me" scene, when Dirk's skeleton crumbles down, the bottle with the "Drink Me" sign is missing but replaced with a loaf of bread and a sign that says "EAT ME".
• If you lose your last life on the "Black Cauldron" scene, when Dirk's skeleton crumbles down, a ladder appears on the left side of the room that was never there before.
• If you lose your last life on the "Wooden Catwalk" scene, when Dirk's skeleton crumbles down, there is a hole in the wall that appears on the left with stairs going up that was never there before.

DRAGON'S LAIR - EURO

• This is the description of how you could get unlimited lives in Dragon's Lair Euro, probably due to a bug in the program. This cheat has been tested and confirmed to work on Dragon's Lair Euro Rev.D1, with attract mode sound enabled in dip switch settings.The trick works this way :
  • Start a 2 players game
  • Player 1 must lose a life
  • Player 2 must complete the game (defeat the dragon)
  • Now Player 1 has unlimited lives. He will lose all of his lives, but continue to play with the last life over and over.
  The trick works even if Player 2 completes the game with the second or another life, as long as Player 1 still has a life to play. After the trick is enabled, every time Player 1 loses a life, the game resumes always from the same room, even if it has been succesfully completed already. The room sequencer routine "crashes" so there's the chance a previously completed room returns to be played.
  Thanks to MacDLSA for detailing this trick.
• When you play the game with attract sound disabled, only the very first attract sequence is played correctly. After that, all attract sequences will play longer than expected and show you a part of the drawbridge scene footage.

DRAGON'S LAIR II (DVD VIDEO)

• On the Menu Screen, highlight the option 'Coming Soon'. Then press down 5 times. You can now pick your level by pressing right the number of the level minus one. For example, press enter to play level 1. To play level 5, press right 4 times, then press enter.
  
  To play a selected level using 'slow moves', start a regular game with 'slow moves', then go to the Main Menu and do your level select.
  
  Note: With Level Select, you can directly go to Level 7 (The final showdown with Mordroc) without collecting any treasure, but if you start on Levels 2 through 6 and make it all the way up to Level 7, the game will put you back to Level 1 due to you not collecting enough treasure.
  Thanks to Toplar for detailing this trick.

SPACE ACE

• On some versions of Space Ace the programmers left a secret Easter Egg that allows you to have unlimited lives.  To access it, wait for the Attract Mode to begin, then hold the joystick DOWN + LEFT and press the SWORD button while inserting your quarters.  Release the joystick and then select 1 player.  You will now have unlimited lives until you complete the game.
• On frame number 32163, during the final battle between Borf and Ace, Borf is standing there without his pants.

TIME TRAVELER (ARCADE)

• Time Traveler has an interesting Easter Egg where you can see both Rick Dyer and his son dancing around.  To access this, you must press and hold down both player 1 and player 2 buttons while pulling down on the joystick.  If you press both player 1 and player 2 buttons while pushing up on the joystick, you will see the game's designers. 

TIME TRAVELER (DVD VIDEO)

Here you are the very obscure hidden easter eggs found in the Hologram Time Traveler DVD from Digital Leisure.
A few tips:

• This exercise is not for the impatient!
• Be deliberate when you press the buttons on the DVD remote (or get your kid's small hands to do the button pressing).
• In most cases you'll have to wait for the yellow diamond symbol to appear to appear and then be quick enough to press the button combo before it goes away.
• For eggs found while playing the game, the DVD will resume gameplay as soon as the easter egg is finished playing.

Attract Mode Easter Egg

Wait at the main menu for 30 seconds until the attract mode starts playing. Whenever you see a clip that begins with Kyi-La you press UP, LEFT, LEFT, then ENTER. This will trigger actress Lee Ann McVicker's audition video. If the wrong attract clip plays, return to the main menu (press ENTER on the remote) and wait again until the correct clip plays on your TV.

Green Screen Easter Egg  

Start a game as you normally would. Wait for the scene with the "Play" and "Learn" signs. As soon as the yellow diamond symbol shows on the lower right corner of the screen press UP, DOWN, UP. This will trigger the behind the scenes video clip of a construction crew painting a huge green screen.

Marshal Gram Easter Egg   

Start a game as you normally would. Wait for the first scene of the very first level (1850). As soon as the yellow diamond symbol shows on the lower right corner of the screen press DOWN, DOWN, RIGHT. If done correctly you will see a video interview with actor Steve Wilbur.

Fat Lady Easter Egg  

At the 50,000 B.C. stage, wait until you get the scene with the fat lady chasing Marshal Gram (that ends the level with Gram entering into a transport disc). Now instead of pressing right like you would normally do, press UP, UP, LEFT. This will trigger a video interview with actor Kevin Mein.

Trader Easter Egg

At the trader clip, press UP, DOWN, UP. This will trigger a video clip showing the TT development team as originally shown in the arcade.

Hellgate Easter Egg  

At the hellgate introductory clip press LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT. This will trigger a video clip with Ryck Dyer carrying is son on his shoulders as originally seen in the arcade.

Volkor Easter Egg  

Wait for the scene with Volkor holding Kyi-La as a human shield. Instead of ducking the laser fire press LEFT then UP. Like in previous cases you'll have to wait for the input rectangle to appear before you can input this move. This will trigger a video interview with actor Robert Mannigan.

Kyi-La Easter Egg  

Beat the game. Wait for the scene with Kyi-La running to Marshal Gram's arms. When the yellow diamond symbol shows up press DOWN, RIGHT, DOWN, RIGHT. If done correctly it will trigger a video interview with actress Lee Ann McVickers.

Many thanks to rdg for revealing this easter egg.

THAYER'S QUEST

There are a few secret warps in Thayer's Quest :

• The first warp is just after you receive the Hunting Horn. Don't choose a place to go, just press the Hunting Horn key and you will be teleported to the Black Keep using the Hunting Horn on those Lizard Men.
• The next one has a slight glitch with it, but it still works.  After you receive the Magic Bow from the Amazon Woman, press the Magic Bow key.  Here is where the glitch happens.  You will see the next scene on the disc (which happens to be a death scene) of you trying to steal the Bow from the Amazon Woman but wind up getting stoned to death, then it will show you the next scene on the disc of you walking toward the Amazons again. At this point the screen freezes.  The reason for this is that the game "thinks" that it's playing the scene with Thayer using the Magic Bow on the Hedge Maze, but the LD player never searched to that point.  Simply press the "replay key" and the game will then show the correct scene of you using the Magic Bow at the Hedge Maze.
• The third and final warp happens just after you have use the Blood Sword to harvest the Silver Wheat.  Press the Crystal key.  You will be teleported back to the 3 elementals as you use the Crystal to destroy them.

US vs. THEM

• In Us vs. Them, the Easter Egg allows you to watch the whole disc from start to finish.  To do this you must hold the trigger button in while inserting your coins.
