How could you put different disks inside a Dragon's Lair machine and pretend
it's a new machine?  All the artwork on the outside says, "Dragon's Lair,"
and it's got lots of game-specific "stills", etc...  I once saw a game which
had general "space-stuff" on the sides, generic labels on the controls
(left-right-fire), and only the painted glass panel at the top had the name
of the game on it -- switch that and the ROM, and you had a new game. That
makes sense to me. But you'd have to change the WHOLE BOX to make Dragon's
Lair anything else.
