Awesome shoot 'em. Absolutely brilliant!
For the cheaters amongst you, here's a whole batch which will work on both the 48K and 128K versions.
First of all you have to get a high score. All you need to get is more than 1000 points. Walkers are worth 800 points and there are always one or two on level one, so it shouldn't be be too hard.
Once you've got beyond 1000, die, (whatever you do, don't use game abandon). When you're asked for your name on the hi-score table, type in "BBIO RGS" (all in capital letters with the one space as shown) for your name and then press Enter. The cheat mode is then activated. When you start a game and press Pause, you can use the follwoing keys for certain functions:
| Key: | Function: |
|---|---|
| 1 | Go to next level on exit from pause mode. |
| 2 | Indestruct mode on. |
| 3 | Indestruct mode off. |
| 4 | Gives you two missiles. |
In indestruct mode, your lasers, shields and energy don't go down.
When using a missile on something, fire just before you crash into it - that way you can't possibly miss. This'll make things much easier when you're after Starglider One (On the 128K version, keep an eye out for the Action Replay when you do, destroy it.
If you are playing the 128K version, you'll be interested in the missions. Getting them is simple - every now and then a message will pop up telling you to go to a repair station. When you dock, you'll now have an extra option to find out about your mission. These are:
| Key: | Function: |
|---|---|
| 1 | To get your rear view scanner. |
| 2 | To get your Auxillary Energy Pod. |
| 3 | To get a Super Missile. |
| 4 | To destroy an Egron Battle Crawler. |
| 5 | To destroy an Ammunition Dump. |
| 6 | To destroy the Commend Centre |
Items 1-3 are usually on or under one of the bridges, so be careful not to shoot them. The super missile isn't really worth it, as it only has twice the range of a normal one, and it can't destroy Starglider on its own. The missions can come in any order, but you do get more than one Super Missile mission.
Starglider is definetly a complicated game, so here's a guide to make things clearer.
First, let's show you how to read the co-ordinates on the dashboard of your ship.
| Direction: | Co-ord 1: | Co-ord 2: |
|---|---|---|
| 0 N | 0 | + |
| 180 S | 0 | - |
| 90 E | + | 0 |
| 270W | - | 0 |
| 45 E | + | + |
| 135 S | + | - |
| 225 W | - | - |
| 315 N | - | + |
If you fly 135 S then the first co-ord will increase and the second will decrease, and if you fly 0 N then the first co-ord won't change and the second will increase. Got that? Right, now for the rest. Here's a few co-ords where you'll find some of the silos and towers:
