Crazy Climber

Cheat:

Pressing SELECT at certain will produce various effects:

• Before the opening tune ends, the game will freeze on the last note, RESET unfreezes the game.
• When a girder falls, the game will pause momentarily as all sprite data is cycled through the girder's location.
• When the evil doctor drops things will pause things momentarily, as sprite data is cycled through the dropping item. He will not drop anything else after and the last sound for him will play for a bit longer.
• When the eagle is dropping eggs, breaks them!
• While you're climbing or hanging on, freezes things. RESET resumes.
• While you're falling, produces a momentary pause.

Title:

Krull

Cheat:

A rapid fire controller will make grabbing objects much easier.

If you're touched by the spider in the web, keep jumping and you'll hear the sound effect even after you've been killed.

On the web screen, just over and below the Cocoon are spots where your score will increase if you keep jumping there. It only works when web strands are moving away (on the easy levels).

Title:

Missile Command

Cheat:

SELECT game 13(?). Let missiles rain on all your cities and waste your missiles so you'll score under 100 points. The rubble of the rightmost city will change to "RF", the programmer's initials (Rob Fulop)

When the game first begins, fire three missiles at the top part of the screen (the highest the cursor will go). Then, RESET the game before the missiles explode. You'll still see the missiles, and when they explode you may get some free points. Sometimes it takes a few tries, but once in a great while you get a jackpot of points (I think my highest cheat was around 1200 points on a Level 1 game).

(This one is rather useless) Frying Missile Command can give you a variation of the game where you can move the little targeting dot VERY VERY fast, but your shots are all fired continuously at wherever the pointer is, so they get used up really fast. Your score starts at roughly 400000, but once you start playing kinda' flikers around between various scores and garbled messes...

Level codes

Taken from January 1993 EGM (Edward Mann). Someone at Atari is very imaginative.

These codes transport you to the beginning of each level with maximum power-ups and allow you to shoot at the hoop in any level:

Title:

TOKI

Cheat:

Freak out mode:

Press and hold down OPT1 and UP before the title screen appears get into "freak out" mode. Or at the "Continue?" screen, after the first "beep" of the countdown, and while the timer still shows a 9, press UP and OPTION 1 at the same time, and hold them. You'll see the GAME OVER screen, but keep holding them. The TOKI demo will appear... keep holding UP and on OPTION 1.

After the names of the designers fall down, the demo should go psychedelic!! The demo will cycle through colours, a catchy tune will begin, and the pad will allow you to sample digitized TOKI sounds... furthermore, pressing DOWN and LEFT repeatedly will cause the samples to descend in pitch. Conversely, pressing UP and RIGHT repeatedly will cause the samples to ascend in pitch. Note: Once the new demo begins, release UP & OPTION 1. Then use pad to sample sounds. Pressing A or B starts the game normally (from Star*Lynx BBS and Jason).

The digitized designers:

As the screen fades to black to go to the "continue" screen, hold down Option 1 and push UP on the joypad simultaneously. Hold these all the way through the "continue" countdown. After the "continue" timer expires, you'll see a white dot in the center of the screen.

At this point, start pressing buttons A and B as quickly as possible (I noticed pressing the joypad directions will do it too) to make the dot grow. You'll notice, as the dot grows, that this is a picture of four programmers (in b&w). Keep making it grow until it's full screen - the picture briefly turns brown and you get the "game over" screen.

Title:

Road Blasters

Cheat:

How to skip levels in Road Blasters.

Start game normally and choose the Rookie starting area. Accelerate car, while holding down the "B" button to about 25 - 50 mph and steer the car so that it is riding on the left shoulder of the road. Keep holding down the "B" button.

Eventually, you will hit a tree which is growing on the side of the road. When you do this you will see a digitized picture of one of the programers and a short message.

You will also see in the upper right hand corner a number. This is the level you are on. Use the OPTION 1 button to move the number forward, and OPTION 2 to move the number backward. (Note: gently tap the OPTION keys. This function really zooms through the levels.)

Once you get to the level you want to play, press the "A" button. You're now back in the game. you will now continue to finish level 1, then the next level will be the level above the one you chose, i.e. if you picked level 48, after you finish level one, you'll be on level 49.(from Star*Lynx)

Title:

RAMPART

Cheat:

Play a two player game in single player mode:

Clear two veteran levels (the topmost and then the leftmost battlefield). At the Map screen, push the joypad left as if you were trying to select a different battlefield than the one remaining. The highlight will disappear. If you then start, you will be on one of the two player battle fields. You actually can choose from any of them, by continuing to move the cursor off screen. When finishing it, you can select another the same way or return to the normal mode and finish the last veteran battlefield.

Playing tip!

During the cannon stage, if you click five times on a place where the cannon can't be built, you'll go on ahead to the firing stage. One strategy is to place the cannon over a boat you plan to target and click five times, so that when you start the firing stage the crosshairs will already be over the boat.

If it starts getting a little hairy when you try to refortify your castle (ie. to cluttered with wall remnants), then try clearing those pieces away in the next cannon stage by shooting them.
