Perhaps the OP meant to ask which programs did not require Workbench to boot up. Apps & games that bypass it or use their own scant Workbench certainly saves on memory  :)  

And yes, Dragons Lair requires Kickstart naturally (1.2 or better). Not sure where you ever heard that....

Wikipedia says so, and I'm fairly sure I read that when it was originally released as well.

Shall I take a pic of my A1000 NOT booting an original Dragons Lair disk inserted in the drive with the Kickstart hand on screen?   :laughing:

...or do I have the only copy that doesn't work that way? lol  Seriously - if this is true, how do you make it so? I've tried disk 1, disk 2 and disk 6 for good luck. Sounds like a cool concept, but I'll believe it when I see it.
