The software included a modified Main Hall that was compatible with the compiled BASIC versions of each Eamon adventure that also had to be modified slightly before being compiled. Not fully shovelware, there were enhancements other than speed. The Main Hall added several ways to spend currency that tended to go unused in the original Eamon system. Training center, specialty weapons shop, the attribute witch, and casino. One especial nice feature was support for hard drives so there was no need for the disk swapping that was usual even for playing a single Eamon adventure. Now any Eamon adventure (that was compiled for Lightning Eamon) could be played by inserting the Master Disk only once. Everything was also converted to ProDOS. Many of Scott Everts' Lightning Eamon enhancements made their way back into the mainline (normal interpreted BASIC) Eamon system.

Scott Everts used the Beagle Bros Applesoft compiler.
