WIP:
- 0.143u2: Brian Troha implemented coin mode 1 & 2 for Dragon Unit / Castle of Dragon.
- 12th August 2007: Mr. Do - DaPlumber has been hard at work, and cleaned up a couple pieces from the BYOAC/CAG artwork: Castle of Dragon bezel.
- 0.76u2: Inigo Luja fixed Dragon Unit dipswitches. Added 'Difficulty' and 'Demo Sounds' dipswitches.
- 6th August 2000: Guru - Dumped an alternative version of Castle of Dragon taken from an original Seta PCB. This version appears to be an official version, and not a prototype (like the current version in MAME). It looks similar, but can't be rom-swapped with the current set.
- 0.37b5: Luca Elia added Dragon Unit / Castle of Dragon (Seta 1989).
- 6th July 2000: Luca Elia added Thundercade, Caliber 50, Dragon Unit and Blandia to the Seta driver.
STORY:
