The hack above is yet another Your Sinclair make a typing error in when the original Smash Tips partwork was printed. To get it to work, change line 20 to: 20 FOR N=64512 TO 64517 : READ A : POKE N,A : NEXT. You can download a fixed version of the poke by clicking the above download link.
The second hack is for the more serious typists who want to control cheat modes from within the game! Once you've loaded the Batty program into this routine you can press any one of the keys below to get the feature you require. You don't have to press any of these keys, but then that makes typing this routine in a bit of a waste!
This second hack below does not work - if you type it in you will get the dreaded STOP message because there is a checksum error in one of the data lines - once again another typing mistake made by the Your Sinclair team or the publishers. That's it your all sacked ! - Ed.
