You dirty rotten cheat!
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.

Title: | BattleWheels
Cheat: | Get the Spray Gun While on Foot: When you're on foot, pressing OPTION-2 + OPTION-1 will get you a paint sprayer. Lock Your Viewscreen: When you are looking at an alternate view (left, back, or right, by using the B button), press and hold OPTION 2 before releasing button B. When you release button B, your view will be "locked" in that direction until you press button B again. Stealth Mode: On the character selection/options screen, pick the female driver with the short blonde hair. Now pick the green car, and keep the highlight box around the car. Hold OPTION 1 and press button A, and your 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 Car! On the character selection/options 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 will have unlimited ammunition and rapid-fire for all weapons.

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...).

Title: | Power Factor
Cheat: | Invincibility: During the game, when not standing next to a monitor, press OPTION 2 to see the "bomb parts" screen. Press Up, Right, Up, Left, Down.

Now press up or down to choose a level; the number in the lower-right corner of the screen indicates the level number. Pressing up and down also toggles the score between 00000 (go to start of level) and 00128 (go to end of level). When you've got the level you want, press OPTION 2 to go there.

Jaguar
Title: | Virtual Light Machine
Cheat: | Spectrum and Triggers Edit Mode: On a blank VLM screen (no menus or status bars displayed), hold * + 0 + 1 + 3. Effects Edit Mode: Enable Spectrum and Triggers Edit mode. With the cursor on the first entry, press Up then Down, eight times. Press C to exit menus with no designated exit button. External Input Mode: Close lid without a CD in the drive. Hold A + * + #. NOTE: This "code" may be a bug, because the read head will continually attempt to seek the surface of the CD once you've entered it. This could possibly shorten the lifespan of your Jag CD.
