Better Dead than Alien! (Electra)
Last modified on April 26th, 2005
Typing "CHAMP" on the option screen then pressing 'Help' (another source says press 'Help' twice and press 'Fire') will show you the cheats available.
Keys for cheating:
| 'F1' | Scatterbolts | | 'F3' | Auto Repeat | |
'F5' | Stun | | 'F7' | Clone Ship | |
'F9' | Skip Level |
| 'F2' | Multi Fire | |
'F4' | Armor Missiles | | 'F6' | Neutron Bomb | |
'F8' | Shield | | 'F10' | Extra Power Bars |
If you are playing a two player game hold down 'Del' and the desired
function key to affect the second player.
If you type "CHAMPIE" instead of "CHAMP" on the title screen (another
source states: if the passwords are extended into the names of the
programmers, "ELVIE" and "CHAMPIE"),the game reports that the SUPERCHEAT mode
has been activated. You will now be able to use the following keys on the
title screen to change the games parameters:
| 'F1' | New drain value. | | 'F6' | New machine delay value. |
| 'F2' | New rapid drain value. | | 'F7' | New gain per frame. |
| 'F3' | New machine drain value. | | 'F8' | New max ship speed. |
| 'F4' | New delay value. | | 'F9' | Press a number 1-5. |
| 'F5' | New rapid delay value. | | 'F10' | switch between screens. |
If you are playing the game and you are about to be killed, pressing 'Escape' will pause the game and allow you to move your ship to a safe
position. Pressing 'N' will cause the game to continue.
