Matthew Bacon fights back against
the game coders :-)
Struggling with a game is no fun at
all, so here are some hot cheats for the Atari 2600, Lynx, Jaguar and ST/Falcon platforms.
2600
Title: |
Barnstorming |
Cheat: |
Fry until you see the plan
drop from the top of the screen and land
on the bottom. You can play game one by
hitting reset, but several objects will
look distorted, going into the barns doesn't
decrease the counter. The game runs forever
and you play until you drop. |

Title: |
Burgertime |
Cheat: |
Fry until your chef appears
on the top ledge on the left, you won't
be able to move and you'll die, but you'll
have 100 lives (minus that first one). However
you won't be able to make any burgers. |

Title: |
Canyon Bomber |
Cheat: |
The game calls for paddles,
but the Land Bomber games can be played
with a joystick. Pushing right and left
causes the red and yellow planes to fire,
respectively. |

Title: |
Communist Mutants from Space |
Cheat: |
Hold down the joystick button
while loading and the "HI" on
the score screen will change to "SHL",
the author's initials. (Steven H. Landrum)

Title: |
Fast Eddie |
Cheat: |
TV-Type pauses game. When
paused, the maze cycles through a rainbow
of colors. Flip it up and it stays on that
color. With good timing, you can choose
the mazes color! Holding down Reset lets
you choose a ladder arrangement. Frying
once in a while procudes Rainbow Eddie.
In this game, the bodies of the enemy critters
disappears, leaving only their feet and
making them much easier to jump over. |

LYNX
Title: |
Awesome Golf |
Cheat: |
Hole in one: Entering
LANDLORD as your name at the beginning of
the game. Use the OPTION 2 button to swing
at the ball. Hitting OPTION 2 while the
ball is in the air, will sink the ball!

OPTION-2 + OPTION-1 will get you a paint
sprayer.
Lock
Your Viewscreen: When you are looking

short blonde hair. Now pick the green car,
and keep the highlight box around the car.

car turns to an all-black design. When you
play, your car will be invisible on radar
and "by eye". You will be seen
if you leave your car, and finding it again
can be tricky...
Super

screen, pick the male blonde driver. Now
pick the tan car, and keep the highlight
box around the car. Hold OPTION 1 and press
button A, and your car turns to a red body
with a black top. When you play, your car

Title: |
Hockey |
Cheat: |
Play with the PERFECT Hockey
Team! Enter the password "BATSXPEB".
The "X" will turn into a heart
and then pressing "OK" brings
up a Bat cartoon with the lines
YES
SIR. NO SIR. THREE BAGS FULL SIR.
Then
when you go to the play game screen, you
can choose a new team from Group D: "The
Bats", which has *perfect* stats! Two
notes: if you try to re-enter the password
BATSXPEB then you get a still pic of a bat
(sleeping?) with the message
BORING.
Also,
the Bats are an American team, since the
anthem played for them is the US National
Anthem. (There is also some color change
of the LA Kings uniform, possible others...
but I am not familiar enough with these
teams to know... we don't see much Hockey
down here in New Orleans...). |

lifespan of your Jag CD. |
