DRAGON'S LAIR 2 - SINGLE'S CASTLE (?) (?)
How to play easy mode and still access all the screens:
Select the hardest possible setting before starting the game, this includes
not only hard mode but also disabling that obnoxious 'FLIP SCREEN' feature
and choosing only three lives. Then click on the 'GAME' icon and do as if
you were to start the game. When the prompt bar says 'CLICK TO PLAY' instead
choose the 'EXIT' icon and this will bring you back to the startup menu. Now
you can select the easy mode and more lives and you will still be able to
see all the screens assuming you're deft of hand enough to get to them in
easy mode.
