- DELUXE GALAGA (Ver 2.3 & 2.4):
-
- If you die during a warp malfunction, the game skips the tax-free
- shop and the next level. You can use this to your advantage in the
- harder levels, especially in the Big Trouble stages. So make sure
- you have plenty of lives left. When you get to the level you want
- to skip, especially Big Trouble, just pray for a warp malfunction!
- If you get a warp malfunction, just kill yourself once (It's a good
- idea not to do this until there's only one alien left on the
- screen).
-
- (OTHER HINTS)
-
- 1. It is generally not a good idea to spend any credits until you
- have 500. When you get 500 credits, buy the Super Weapon.
-
- 2. If you hold down the fire button (make sure to disable autofire
- if you have it on) from the moment you grab the Meteor Storm
- icon right up to the end of the Meteor Storm, you will get the
- secret $5000 bonus (This only works in version 2.4 and possibly
- the upcoming 2.5).
-
- 3. On Version 2.4, it is not a good idea to buy the $3000 weapon
- until you're in levels 51-75.
-
- 4. The weapons that cost $750 and higher are generally not very
- handy unless you have autofire (Ver 2.4). If you do have
- autofire and have one of these weapons, what you have is an
- incredibly nasty weapon!
-
- 5. You can also "cheat" by using a hex editor and editing the main
- program. Just find the part of the code that lists all the
- prices in the tax-free shop (make sure they are not part of the
- menu, if you modify the menu in any way the game won't run!)
- and change the numbers to whatever you want. This way, you can
- make everything cost nothing if you want! However, you'll
- still need $50 to enter the shop, and $400 for continues (or
- $200, in version 2.3).
