Cheats & Hints.


~Cheat Codes

During the game, type any of the following to enable the 
required cheat. 
    
GABBAGABBAHEY = Enable the Cheats 
SCOURGE       = WowieZowie Weapons
MITZI         = All Keys
RACERX        = Invulnerability On/Off
GUILE         = Cloak On/Off
TWILIGHT      = Shields Recharged
FARMERJOE     = Warp to Which Level?

You might want to change your "bomb" key to something that won't 
conflict with these codes, otherwise you might blow up before 
you finish typing it. 



~Hints 

When you die, all your equipment will be left at the place of death,
so before you do anything go here and collect all what was left 
behind with your ashes !


Having problems killing the the Robot at the end of level 7 ?

Adam Pletcher of Parallax Software recommends:

"Stay tight against the inside pillar, and keep circling. This 
is the best way to lose missiles that have lock.  Take out the 
Vulcan Guys, SuperMechs (the red guys), and the Boss, in that 
order.  Get the cloak in the alcove on the far side of the 
pillar.  When attacking the Boss, make passes, don't sit still.  
And make extra sure none of those green missiles hit you in the 
face, they'll probably kill you." 


Making the game easier can be done in four ways :-

    Decrease the difficulty level of your game
    
    Try flying around an empty mine tunnel as fast as you can and
    as fluidly as you can. 
    
    PRACTICE STRAFING!!  This technique will save you many times over
    when it comes to enemy fire.
    
    Learn when to (and when not to) use the different kinds of 
    weapons you have.
    
    Practice, practice, practice ! Of course !!
