Welcome to the Dragon Cheat Zone! This page contains hacks and cheats for obtaining extra lives or special features in Dragon games. The Tandy CoCo is not specifically catered for on this page, but some of the built-in cheats may work on the CoCo.
Cheats given here are for use both with real machines and with emulators. If using a real machine, follow the method key for clues on how to enter the cheat. If using an emulator with a built-in debugger, you may be able to make POKEs by editing memory once a game is loaded. If this is not possible, follow the method key, but the cheat is unlikely to work if you are using a snapshot rather than a cassette file.
Some of these cheats have been discovered or tested by me, but other than this I give no assurance that they will work for you. Please also note that there was more than one released version of some games, so cheats and/or methods may not work on all versions.
This page is at the moment just a skeleton of what I have planned, and will be expanded sometime in the future. In the meantime, if you have any new cheats that are not included here and haven't been printed in Dragon User, then please submit them for inclusion here by contacting me at this address (all submissions will be credited). Thankyou.
