Soldier Cheats

• SAVEGAME (1KB)

The SGAMES.DAT file in the game directory holds the saved games info. There may be info for multiple saved games in this file, but this cheat document will only talk about the first one.

Position 13 (Hex 0d) is the level number. Valid values are Hex 00 thru 0e. Hex 0f does show a "Debug" level, but it doesn't seem to work.

Position 21 (Hex 15) is the Primary Weapon.

Position 25 (Hex 19) is the power of the Primary Weapon.

Position 29 (Hex 1d) is the Secondary Weapon.

Position 33 (Hex 21) is the power of the Secondary Weapon.

Note 1: In the game, the primary weapon always needs a "recharge" period after being fired. If the secondary weapon is given a hex value normally used for the primary weapon (hex 00 thru hex 03), it will have continuous fire.

Note 2: If you want to keep whatever weapons combination you set up here, do *not* pick up any weapon powerups in the game!

The following tables list the valid combinations of weapon and power entries and descriptions of the resulting weapons.
