Quote from: Superully

is there a dragon's lair information page which lists / shows the various models (and their differences) side by side? e.g. what's the difference between the uk and the us version? do they also play differently? which cab is the most interesting one to get from a collector's viewpoint?

...also the move beeps are different. Plus the UK version has blue screen instead of an LED scoreboard as mentioned above.
The Atari euro version plays random rooms, until you've played them all then it'll give you the dragon's lair, whilst the US cinematronics pcb, depending on what romset you get play in a more sequenced way i.e. castle rooms first, then moving down to the lower levels, the rapids and mudmen before finally the dragon's lair. The US version is the more reliable, as spares for the Atari version are virtually non existant or very hard to obtain, unless you 'daphne' it of course :)

thx for the additional info, sounds like the US version is the version to get (for me): the room thingy makes more sense there PLUS i love that LED scoreboard way more than the blue screen! ME WANT :spaceace:
all i need is ... PONG - and a select few others: TOUCH ME, DRAGON'S LAIR, JOUST, ROBOTRON, MR DO, SAN FRANCISCO RUSH THE ROCK!!!

I agree that the US version is better in many ways, but we are European after all! :)
Seriously, if I didn't already have a European one I would also prefer the US version. Repro CPO is also only available for US control panel, and the holes don't match the European version.

Working NBA 1993 on ebay Belgium.
Starting at 1€.

Nice side art on that!  Usually the sides are all bleached out from sun exposure.  Of course the other side is facing a window  ;D
