Coin-op conversion that stretched the Speccy's resources most impressively.

Take advantage of these infinite lives care of the Speedlock 4 Hacker.

As with all the .tap version of the pokes, I test all of them. Some things to note if you are running this poke under X128 with a tzx tape file of the original game. I tested this hack with the 48k version of Gryzor. Shortly after the bytes for the Speedlock loader which the game uses has loaded and initialized, the Speedlock will do the funny beepy sounds (these are decryption beeps). Under the Amiga version of X128 I never seem to hear these - dunno if you will hear them under the PC version of X128. Once the loading screen popped up, I had to unpause X128's tape deck to get the rest of the game to go in (the loading stripes will turn to red as it loads). Again, I don't know if you will also need to do this on the PC or Linux versions of X128, but thought I would mention it..

Another cheat:

1. Load level one and complete level.

2. Load level two, but deliberately lose all your lives.

3. After the Game Over message, choose the restart option.

4. Rewind to start of tape and load.

5. Play to Load Error message. Ignore it.

6. You'll start with 55 lives, and, when you run out, it'll give you 99 more!
