ALL GAMES: connect a genlock to the Amiga and leave it on while playing games, and they'll play 25% slower, which allows you to score high. ARKANOID Get into the back door this way: boot and run the game as usual, then select a start screen and begin game. Press the space bar to pause, and type in DSIMAGIC (no spaces, and don't press Return). Press the space bar to unpause. Now a yellow Power capsule named DS will fall down. Catch it. Now you can get any power capsule you want any time. Press the first letter of the capsule you want, and it will fall down for you to catch: Break Catch Disruption Expand Laser Player Slow Catch some Player capsules first to get extra lives. You can also use two capsules at the same time, like Disrupt the ball into three balls, and use Lasers also. Pressing the F key will send you to the Finsl screen where you fight DOH, the Dominion Over Hour monster on the cover of the package. You'll need lots of lives first. Skip over any screen by pressing Enter on the keypad, or get through the screen fast (with points too) using a Break capsule. ARKANOID II On the high score screen, type in the name DEBBIE S (with the space), and you'll have infinite lives. BARBARIAN Boot and run the game as usual, but at some point after the game has started, type in: 04-08-59 ...It will make the Barbarian character almost invincible, but he can still be killed by very high falls, and by the flame-hurling horned demon in the dungeon deep, pictured on the cover. After you type 04-08-59 the screen will turn gray, telling you that you're invincible. Once you make it to Necron, you must have a shield. Face Necron when he turns to face you. When he throws a fireball at you, press the defense button as it hits your shield. BARD'S TALE How to hoard millions in gold without trying: Load your party, go to the stats screen for the first player. Pool all of the party's gold to the first player, then remove him from the party, then load him back in. Then pool the gold to another player. Repeat this for each player. Then turn off the computer without saving the game. Reboot and ezch player will have gold equal to the TOTAL the party had before. Repeat if you're really greedy ! BETTER DEAD THAN ALIEN If you are just about to be hit by an alien or a bomb, press the ESC key to pause, move your ship out of the way, then press N to resume the action. Type CHAMP on the options screen, then press the HELP key. You'll be shown a list of cheat keys. CAPONE To find the "special bonus", go to the front of the Post Office. Shoot the ball at the top of the flag pole, and your score will go way up. If you shoot it again, you'll see a screen of the programmers! Shoot again and you'll be invincible, standing in the bank. At the end of that round, you will start at the beginning, except you'll be in warp speed. DEFENDER OF THE CROWN To get 1,024 Knights: After conquering a territory, press these four keys at the same time, while the drive is still running: H J K L ... If you do it just right, you'll have 1,024 knights both in your home and in your army. Hey, this is good stuff! Another way was reported in which to get 1,024 Knights, but it doesn't seem to work: After first picking the knight, when Robin Hood appears, type PATTERSON over and over until the map of England appears. Don't press the Return key. If this trick doesn't work the first time, try again. I was only able to get this to work most of the time if, before typing PATTERSON over and over, I first typed in my name with no spaces: GEORGEKNOCHEL Yep, Twilight Zone! Another good trick for Defender of the Crown, for sword fighting, is to get the PD program called FUN-BUT (fun button), which when run lets you press the F1 key continuously instead of clicking on the mouse. (but then this is a hint, not a back door). DRAGON'S LAIR This will demo the ENTIRE game (about 18 minutes worth or a disk I/O error, whichever comes first). You can't play it, just watch the whole game: After the credits have finished loading, and are being displayed (the red light will still be on, but no loading is occurring), press the following six (6) keys, simultaneously: R / L N 7 Yes, all at the same time (use your nose if ya have to - just press ESC and hold, then press R and hold, etc.). The screen will flash if you did it right. THEN PRESS THE FIRE BUTTON on your joystick. Sit back and watch all the animation. (I couldn't - my disk 5 had an I/O error) DUNGEON MASTER To advance Ninjas a level, stand in a hall and throw all your weapons, then get them and repeat. This also works with magic and Fighter levels: cast a spell at the air, or slash and bash until you gain a level. F/A-18 INTERCEPTOR Select option "2 Free Flight, no enemy confrontation" from the main menu. Then select zero instead of 1 to 4. The screen will go into a spiral and scroll way south to 34 by 117 degrees, placing your plane somewhere without a runway. To take off you have to use the afterburners. 117 degrees is the furthest south you'll be able to fly, but you can go in other directions. (Is there more to this back door? hmm) FAERY TALE ADVENTURE Sometimes you can accumulate all the treasure you want by going near the item, press space bar, and keep pressing 'T'. You'll receive an infinite supply of that treasure. Save your position in a dungeon. Then go through it until you don't have anymore keys. Restore your position. All doors already opened will still be open, and you'll have a new supply of keys. Repeat if needed. Also works in cave. Jump on the turtle and start slashing. Your bravery points will go up to infinity, but doesn't hurt the turtle or you. On the island with the Crystal Castle, press the right mouse button while talking to the Sorceress and your luck will go to 65. "Ask"ing the Sorceress several times will normally boost your luck. If running low on green keys, use a secret entrance for the fort - it is on the left side, almost even with the door. HYBRIS Boot game and don't do anything until the high scores screen appears. Then type COMMANDER and click the fire button. When it starts, wait a few moments and press the F10 key. If the extensions of your ship get flickery or glimmer, you're now invincible and have unlimited expansions and smart bombs. Get to the other 6 levels of expansions by pressing F1 through F5 when you're in unexpanded mode, or capture the special "capsules" in the usual way. Move to other game levels (there are three) with the F8 key, and turn invincibility off or on with the F10 key. No High scores are collected when you're invincible. KARATE KID II Press the P key in single player mode to be taken to the next screen. You can go as far as the Final Encounter. In 2-player mode, you can go to the next-to-the-last screen. LEISURE SUIT LARRY Press ALT and X at the same time to bypass the proof-of-age questions. STARGLIDER (not Starglider II): Boot and play as usual until launched and ready to do battle. Then slow down until completely stopped in space. Press the F1 key to turn on the fixed sight, and press the backspace key to pause the game. Now type: js[space]arg[space]s You should now be invincible! You'll know you're in invincible mode when you can repeatedly press the P key and get additional missiles (up to 9). If the password didn't take the first time, try again. To may have to dock and re-exit for it to work. Once invincible, your fuel will remain constant and shields will never be depleted. Also, a secret built-in 3D object viewer running in the background is available by pressing the z key once you've entered the invincible mode. Use the keyboard to pause [p], select [, and .] and manipulate objects - use all keys except q and ESC. Use the mouse to change point of view and magnification and hold down the right button. .... STARGLIDER II Once the game has started, press F for fixed sights and then slow the ship to a halt. Press BACKSPACE to pause, and type the words: WERE ON A MISSION FROM GOD (really!) (The article did not have the apostrophe ' in We're ...) Then press 1 (one) on the keyboard (not keypad). Your shield and energy levels will drop to a fixed point. Press the letter K to get all the weapons in the game, including the neutron bomb. If you run low on weapons, you can get them all back by repeating the process. Onward into battle, young soldiers! SWORD OF SODAN Type NANCY then press RETURN on the high scores screen for unlimited lives! TEST DRIVE Holding down the joystick button while going around curves prevents you from hitting the wall or going off the cliff. THREE STOOGES To really slow down "the hand" which selects the scenes, do the slapping game and pull Curly's ear: pull it continuously until the time runs out. XENON Let yourself be killed off at the beginning of the 2nd stage of the 2nd level, and all aliens in the round are destroyed. FALCON Tired of those migs blasting you out of the sky? Would you like unlimeted missles and guns? When playing Falcon on the Colnoly level by pressing the control x key together you plane will be rearmed. PLATOON Bye typing (HAMBURGER-HILL, using the minus sigh on the keypad.) This will allow you to use the F1 thru F4 keys to move to differnt levels. VIRUS Hold down the enter key on the numeric pad and press the P key. While holding down the enter key hit O to turn on the cheat mode. F= Refuel L= add one life and missle C= special effects N= resumes game. Battle Squadron By typing Castarol like the oil your mother made you take when you where little you should enter a super mode. By pressing the function key you should change differnt game options DUNGEON MASTER Solved!!! Amiga Version! Written by Rom Chip of ORACLE The only reason I wrote this solve was because even though the game is not all that hard, its still an adventure, and i love to make solve files so if you got stumped on any level, then this solve should help you make it to the next level ok...first of all, get the DMHINT disk which has all the maps for all the levels...you really need maps...ill tell you bout the tricky areas of each levels and how to overcome them..and even the special items on each level and their uses...I've spent over 100 hours with this game..(an ORIGINAL since no-one can make a successful crack.heh) I wrote this solve in the order of things i did to complete the game, on some levels, you don't have to do the same things i did...but to ensure you the correct way, then you could follow my pathways, at least you'll see most of the game this way..(shortcuts are always no fun!!) On with the solver!!! First: heres a breakdown of all the characters you could take...i solved the game with HISSSA, Elija,Sonja and Gothmog. I suggest 2 good warrior type, a powerful Priest and Wizard....but pick for yourself who u like!.. # NAME CLASSES EQUIPMENT STATISTICS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1 Iaido Apprentice Fighter Samurai Sword 43/55/40/35/45/50/48/65/11 Novice Priest Ghi, Trousers ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2 Zed Novice Fighter & Priest Torch, Hosen 40/40/40/50/40/40/60/60/10 Novice Ninja & Wizard Pants, Mail ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 3 Elija Novice Fighter Robe, Sandals 42/40/42/36/53/40/60/58/22 Apprentice Priest Magic Box ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4 Chani Novice Fighter Shirt, Sandals 37/47/57/37/47/37/47/67/20 Apprentice Wizard Moonstone ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5 Hawk Novice Fighter Leather Pants 45/35/38/55/35/35/70/85/10 Apprentice Priest Leather Jerkin Boots, 2 Arrows ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 6 Boris Novice Ninja Leather Pants 35/45/55/40/45/40/35/65/28 Apprentice Wizard Leather Boots Rabbits Foot ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 7 Alex Apprentice Ninja Leather Pants 44/55/45/40/35/40/50/57/13 Novice Wizard Leather Jerkin Boots, Sling ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 8 Nabi Apprentice Priest Staff, Tunic 41/36/45/45/55/55/55/65/15 Novice Wizard Pants, Sandals ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 9 Linflas Apprentice Fighter Elven Boots 45/45/47/35/50/35/65/50/12 Novice Wizard Elven Doublet Elven Huke, Bow ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 10 Gando Novice Wizard Leather Boots 39/45/47/33/48/43/39/63/26 Apprentice Ninja Leather Jerkin 2 Poison Darts ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 11 Syra Novice Priest Elven Doublet 38/35/43/45/42/40/53/72/15 Apprentice Wizard Tabard, Apple ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 12 Halk Journeyman Fighter Berzerk Helm 55/43/30/46/38/48/90/75/00 Barbarian Hide Club, Sandals ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 13 Daroou Apprentice Fighter 50/30/35/45/30/45/100/65/6 Neophyte Wizard ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 14 Wu Tse Novice Ninja Silk Shirt 38/35/53/45/47/40/45/47/20 Apprentice Priest Tabard, Sandals 3 Throwing Stars ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 15 Tiggy Novice Ninja Kirtle, Gunna 30/45/50/35/59/40/25/45/36 Apprentice Wizard Sandals, Wand ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 16 Leif Apprentice Fighter Leather Jerkin 46/40/39/50/45/45/75/70/7 Novice Priest Leather Pants Leather Boots ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 17 Azizi Novice Fighter Barbarian Hide 47/48/42/45/30/35/61/77/7 Apprentice Ninja Hide Shield Halter, Daggers ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 18 Stamm Journeyman Fighter Leather Pants 52/43/35/50/35/55/75/80/00 Suede Boots Tunic, Axe ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 19 Mophus Journeyman Priest Sandals, Robe 42/35/40/48/40/45/55/55/19 Cheese, Bread Apple ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 20 Wuuf Apprentice Ninja Leather Jerkin 33/57/45/40/35/40/40/50/30 Novice Priest Empty Flask ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 21 Leyla Journeyman Ninja Leather Pants 40/53/45/47/45/35/48/60/3 Leather Boots Silk Shirt, Rope ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 22 Sonja Journeyman Fighter Gunna, Halter 54/45/39/49/40/40/65/70/2 Choker, Sword Sandals ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 23 Hissssa Apprentice Fighter 58/48/35/35/43/55/80/61/5 Novice Ninja ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 24 Gothmog Journeyman Wizard Cloak of Night 40/43/48/34/50/59/60/55/18 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Statistics are in the following form - STRENGTH/DEXTERITY/WISDOM/VITALITY/ANTIMAGIC/ANTIFIRE/HEALTH/STAMINA/MANA Resurrecting a champion keeps stats. Reincarnating may lower or raise stats. LEVEL 1: OK, you've assembled your group...when you enter level one of the Dungeon (your sorta actually on level2..but I call it level 1) You need to get keys!..This area is simple except for one area where 2 pressure plates and an iron gate...walk on first plate but go around second plate..and it'll work fine....after you've got the keys..and finally got to the room with the screamers...kill em and keep going until you come to a room filled with pressure plates...heres the correct sequence that'll let ya get through...when you step onto the first pressure plate in the room.. that's the first move, from there go right 1, then forward 1, left 1, forward 1, back 1, forward one, back one...you should see the gate come open...you'll get the hang of it..just save your game every once in awhile. if you get all confused..go back to beginning of room and try again... Next you'll come to a trap door..set a rock or something on the pressure plate and the trap will close up...keep following the only way to go.. you'll later on come across a wishing well..put coin in to open door... ...General hints:keep eyes peeled for Camouflaged keys against the walls Monsters you'll encounter: Mummies and Screamers only..(screamers make good eating..get em for food) items on level 1:lots of Food, weapons..(get sword and falchion), keys: 6 gold ones, emerald, topaz, iron, solid and key of B..so save everything you find. LEVEL 2:When you start walking down this hallway..about 8 steps..start looking on your left for a secret button that will open a secret door on the left side of the tunnel which holds a compass. if you keep going down the hallway, you notice it branches to the left or keeps going... if you keep going, you'll run into three doors with locks and you don't have those keys..so your gonna have to go search for em...back to left branch you passed by....you enter a large open space..and there are six areas you can go to...when you first enter the area, you find two doors in front, two on your left and two on your right...lets start with the two on you left..we'll call em door 1 and 2...door 1 has this SOLUTION: Hit Switches to activate the teleport in each cell.After being teleported to every cell, the chest will finally be teleported outside the cell, get mirror out of chest...Use mirror on EYE to open secret door... DOOR 2 solution:put coin in slot to open door...you see a door on the other side of an open trap..cast the spell at door to open.. its the 2 syllables that look like: 1:a box 2: 3 circles....then throw anything across trap so it lands on other side and the trap will close up. watch for the secret door switches near the staff. you'll need to get a key from this area..look for one. i'm sure you got the needed key from area one also in the secret chamber. DOOR 3:Keep to the outside of the matrix if u can. Use the compass to see when an invisible teleport as turned you around..in one of the alcoves you see a hidden button...press it and it opens a secret room with a needed key... Door 4:Hit the switch, then, while still facing the wall, quickly move to the left four times and forward twice. if the door closes before you make it, go back and do it again until you make it. drop a few heavy items and you move a little quicker. when you come to next pit near button.. this is tricky..press button and quickly turn left and throw any object into the teleport.....if your successful, the pit will close up and you can retrieve your thrown object..next pit with button...stand in front of button and press it..then quickly move backwards 3 times.. very quickly or you'll fall..down the pit. ...you'll need to a key from this area beyond traps..
