DRAGON'S LAIR ENHANCEMENT ROM SET VERSION 2.1 - 1 January 2005
Created by Dave Hallock

INTRODUCTION
. This means no more security updates are being released, making any version—especially unofficial ones—vulnerable to new security threats. Legitimate Ways to Get or Manage Office
The package may only contain heavily modified versions of Word and Excel, completely omitting PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote, and essential system files.
The most common scenario. The "installer" is actually a Trojan horse, ransomware, or spyware designed to infect your system.
If your primary goal is to have a small, fast, free office suite, consider these legitimate alternatives instead of risking malware.
Have you tried a "highly compressed" file before? Let us know your experience (or horror story) in the comments below. Ms Office 2016 Highly Compressed 100mb
Use the free, browser-based versions of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint at Office.com . These require no disk space beyond your browser cache. Official Downloads:
If your computer meets these specs, you have better options than a potentially dangerous repack.
Because files are stripped to save space, these versions are notorious for crashing. You might find that "Save as PDF" doesn't work, or the application closes unexpectedly when you use a specific font or formula. 3. Missing Updates
: A standard installation of Microsoft Office 2016 Professional Plus typically requires approximately 1.7GB to 4GB of disk space. Security Concerns The most common scenario
If you are looking for a 100MB Office installer because you have limited internet data or a slow computer, you do not need to risk infecting your PC with malware. Excellent, legal, lightweight, and completely free alternatives exist. 1. Microsoft 365 Web Apps (Free)
Rogue repackers often bundle background scripts into the installation. These scripts use your computer's hardware to mine cryptocurrency or enlist your machine into a botnet, severely slowing down your operating system.
You do not need to risk your digital security to use quality productivity software. Several powerful, legal, and free alternatives exist that match the capabilities of Microsoft Office 2016. Office on the Web (Free Microsoft Option)
I can’t help evaluate or review pirated or illegally redistributed software. If you’d like, I can instead: Have you tried a "highly compressed" file before
What is the you need to accomplish? (Writing papers, creating spreadsheets, making presentations)
End of support for Office 2016 and Office 2019 | Microsoft Support
Downloading heavily modified, unofficial software from third-party websites exposes your computer and personal data to severe vulnerabilities. Security Vulnerabilities
These are illegal, stripped-down versions where core components (like Help files, templates, and even specific apps like Access or Outlook) have been deleted to save space. This often leads to frequent crashes and missing features.
Microsoft Office 2016 remains one of the most popular productivity suites in the world. Its robust features, familiar interface, and reliability make it a staple for students and professionals alike. However, a standard installation of MS Office 2016 typically requires between 2GB and 4GB of storage space.
To help find the right productivity setup for your specific needs, let me know:
ENHANCEMENTS
*also in the previous DLE 1.x series
DIP SWITCH SETTINGS
View the DLE 2.1 DIP switch settings chart.
VERSION
DLE 2.1 replaced DLE 2.0 by compressing the software to fit onto 3 EPROMs instead of 4, and by allowing the diagnostics ROM check to pass if other game EPROMs remain in the unused sockets, and by correcting a bug with one of the death scenes.
The 2.x series of DLE resequences the game to keep similarly-themed scenes in sections. Reversible scenes only need to be completed once during one game. The DLE 2.x scene sequencing chart provides a thorough explanation.
The 2.x prototype mode plays over eight minutes of cutting room floor animation that was added to the limited edition laserdisc, with the original experimental design concepts of multiple branching and the "ACTION" button that were present in the prototype Dragon's Lair arcade game.
(The original Dragon's Lair laserdisc works with the standard game mode. The limited edition disc is not required.)
DLE 2.0 succeeded the 1.x series.
EPROMS
DLE 2.1 is a 3 EPROM set that works with any working Cinematronics Dragon's Lair game using any laserdisc player or video source.
Dragon's Lair uses type 2764 or 27C64 EPROMs or compatible, rated 250ns or faster (2764-25).
EPROMs rated slower, such as 300ns and higher (2764-30), have been reported incompatible.*
National Semiconductor brand EPROMs have been reported incompatible.*
*(These are original hardware incompatibilities, not specific to this ROM.)
DOWNLOAD
VERY IMPORTANT!!!!!
The download contains readme21.txt. This complete text file, or a printout of it, MUST accompany all distribution of DLE.
These ROMs are EXTREMELY DIFFERENT and this information is essential, with new DIP switch settings and a guide for the prototype mode, among other things.
Keep it together with the ROM files. Keep a printout with your game cabinet, including through any change of ownership. Please don't leave new owners clueless. Thank you!
