                          tested cheats
Help, I'm stuck on my favourite C64 game!

This section contains cheats that usually involve typing a few keys while the game is running to get the desired cheat to work. Anything within square brackets refers to a single key press or joystick movement i.e. [SPACE] means "press the space bar", and [LEFT] means "move the joystick left", otherwise enter the cheats exactly as shown. All cheats in this section have been personally verified by yours truly, but if you have any problems getting these to work, please let me know anyway!
