What he said.

: LARGE CAVERN WITH PLANKS
: 1.    Walk to the right side of the rock plateau.
: 2.    JUMP over the light colored wooden planks onto the darker ones.

Actually, if you follow the marked path (swords and sticks with skulls),
you should be safe from falling planks.  The only problem is the area
where the flying thing is buzzing, since it involves a jump.

: END CAVERN
[...]
: 5.    USE the LIGHTER to re-light the OIL LAMP.
: 6.    THROW the OIL LAMP at the tree.

THIS IS NOT WORKING!!!  I put the talisman, light the lamp, throw the lamp,
but nothing happens!

: 14.   Enter the opening.
:       BASEMENT
: 1.    Walk around the wine racks to the other side of the room and climb
:       the stairs.

But you can't enter the opening in the basement until you get the wine casks
out of the way, and you had to do that from the other side, before you
entered the underground.  Having a player go all the way then get stuck here
is more evil than anything Pickford (or whoever he really is) could
have devised.  ^o^


Burning Soldier
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Debug Mode:
    First connect second control pad, choose option at menu screen.
    Push L+R+C+X+"right direction" at the same time from the second
    control pad.  Now you can select seven different kinds of option
    include 4-player mode.


Crash & Burn
^^^^^^^^^^^^
Black Market Goods:

Stealth Generator: Makes you somewhat invisible, but the drivers will
      still shoot at you. When you take enough damage it wears off.
      ($11k)

Polarity Inverter: Blocks projectiles most of the time. ($10K)

Targeting Computer: Helps in targeting enemy drivers faster and more
      accurately. ($9k)

Doomsday Missile: Does Awesome damage, but you just get one per reload.
      It won't blow up an undamaged driver, but you'll seriously
      hurt him or her. ($19k)

120mm Gauss Gun: Does heavy damage like the Vulcan cannon, but shoots
      much slower - 5 sec. reload, ammo 1000. ($16k)

Dragon Laser: Blows everything away with relative ease. If you can't
      blow everybody away on the first lap, stop, wait and let the
      other racers lap you (or catch up if you're ahead) and let them
      know who's boss. ($25k)

Grim Reaper: A great car. You see it when some of the other illegal

      -The black market cyborg will only appear (at random) and offer things
       that you have enough money to buy.

$2,000 trick:
    If you finish a track but don't get the record time, you may still
    get $2,000 if the next track's record time is higher than the time
    you got.  Just reset the game and you'll receive the record time
    bonus.  Example--on track 3 the record time is 1:04, and you finish
    in 1:10.  No record.  But track 4's record time is 1:21, and your
    track 3 time of 1:10 was below that.  Reset and you'll be at the
    money screen after track 3, but you'll receive the $2,000 record
    time bonus.
    Note that this trick can work against you, taking away your
    legitimate record time bonus if you reset on a track with a lower
    time.

Infinite continues:
    This is simple--never continue.  The game saves after every race
    automatically, so just reset the machine (or hit pause and choose
    quit) whenever you die.  Just load the saved game and keep racing.

Deathdrome message:
    The message in the sideline of Deathdrome track 4 reads:

    Once upon a time a genius, a spiritual overlord and a visionary
    racing criminal became "sotally tober" and decided they would create
    a legend.  Mark said, "Future shock on wheels.  Sex, drugs, and rock
    'n roll at 100MPH!  And with more guns than the LAPD.  It's what
    America's all about!"  Madeline raised the toast, "And make sure it
    is done before September or we'll swing by our heels."  And thus it
    was decided But they needed some help.  Little did they know that a
    hedgehog trainer named Bill would arrive in a few weeks all set to
    kick some asphalt.  "Don't tell me the odds," said Bill, "and I won't
    tell you to get the h#ll out of my office.  "Bill put the 'I' in
    Artificial Intelligence, and a little A, too, just to keep me from
    going insane (again).  Cyrus created a killer two million dollar
    demo, and then put together the best art teams ever legally
    assembled.  "Programming doesn't have to be ugly," he said.
    "Programmers, maybe, but this thing will shine when me and Steve get
    done with it."  Steve shrugged.  "Say what you like, 'cause I'm not
    listening."  Steve listens to only Rocker, Twix, Druger and Klaw
    (NOT!).  "This thing will shine when me and Cyrus get done with it,"
    says Steve.  And so it began, at first a train wreck waiting to
    happen.  But later the prize of the show was winning the blue bundle
    ribbon.  Another Bill joined (you can never have to many Bills) and
    glued the whole thing together with Steve after setting all the cars
    on fire.  The other Bill says mysteriously, "And wait until you see
    the other tunnels, too."  As always, a few stunt programmers were
    needed.  Troy, feeling like Godot as he waited for OS (should have
    been called the SOS) tried to make the Fat Lady sing, but when asked
    to play a tune, Troy sez "Bite me!" and stumbles home to bed at
    130MPH.  In the end, both the ground and the grunge behaved, and much
    sleep was had by all.  A final thank-you to Frankie Goes to Hollywood
    (just like 3DO) for their musical inspiration!  "The Ballad of Crash
    'N Burn" was written by Jon "nakasete miyou" Horseley

^^^^^^^^^^^^
Obviously, *when* to push the button is up to you to
figure out, but at least you know what the order is.
[bracketed] items are grouped because they relate to
the same danger.

Also the scene names are mine, taken from little
snapshots of each scene, so some may be confusing or
have better names known to all Dragons Lair experts.

Just to add further confusion, expect the scene order
to be somewhat randomized, and sometimes mirrored!
Apologies for any typing errors. Good luck.

Horde, The
^^^^^^^^^^
    One of the most common mistakes that causes players financial
    trouble is NOT selling back items before moving on to the next land.
    When you dig up a cow, fence, pit, soldier, or whatever, you get
    back money equal to what it costs to place that object down in the
    first place.  So in the Shimto Plains at the winter of year 3, make
    sure you sell all your cows and stuff.  The Tree Realms goes to year
    4, so sell your stuff in the winter of that year.  Each "land" lasts
    one year longer than the previous one.

Shimto Plains:
    No hidden items.  Start off by chopping down trees and planting as
    many saplings as you can.  Repeat this for a few seasons until you
    have enough to buy a cow.  Place cows in the south of your town, as
    hordlings come mostly from the north.  Keep making cows and saplings
    so that you have 10 or more cows by the end of year 3.  Don't forget
    to pick them all back up in the winter before you go to the Tree
    Realms of Alburga!

Tree Realms of Alburga:
    Plant as many saplings as you possibly can.  Keep planting until it
    says "at max" in your inventory box.  After the hordlings come, plant
    more to replace the ones they destroy.  After a few rounds of this,
    the Dryad will give you the Boots of Boogie.

Fetid Swamps of Buuzal:
    Around the third year or so, your map will become large enough to
    show two "arrows" made of stones (apparent on the overview map).
    Dig at the intersection of these two invisible lines to find the
    magic flute.  This is probably the most useful (and annoying
    sounding) items in the game.

Kar-Nyar Desert:
    Keep making those waterways!  A tree will grow when you get water
    to an odd-looking bush, which grows in a random spot.  The tree
frog
    wants the three foods you can find scattered around the
desert--the
    Blue Fruit, Green Meat, and Purple Seeds.  Just set them down
next to
    the tree and he'll give you his Trident.

Frozen Wastes of Vesh:
    Use bombs to blow away the snow in the preparation stage (this is the
    only land where you can use bombs during this stage), or summon
    Roscoe to melt away huge strips during the battle stages.  Be
careful
    with Roscoe, though--he levels houses really quickly.


     It seems that Crystal Dynamics wanted to activate hints by spelling
out words using the control pad, but as we all know, you cant spell much
with a,b,c,r,l,u,d,s,ls,rs, and p.  To combat this, CD decided to change
the A button to O and the B button to T.

Horde FMV Sequence Display:
    Start game.  Once started hold U, A, B, and P all at the same time.
    While paused, spell "ROLLOUT".  Press R, A(O), L, L, A(O), U, B(T).
    Then un-pause.  Press X to skip and sequence.

    a midget.

Small Players:
    1. Pause the game and press X five times. The crowd will cheer and
    your players will get smaller.
    -I think this makes it harder for the other team to tackle and catch
    the ball, while your player become faster.

    2. Pause the game and press B, A, B, A, X, B, A, X.  The gun
    will sound.  Your player will return to normal if you are in small
    mode.

Quick Finish:
    For those of you who feel it necessary to "beat" Myst W/O
    actually enjoying exploring the worlds, follow these simple
    steps and you will finish the game in less that 30 minutes.

    1.  Turn on all markers (up switches, green symbols).  At
        clock tower, rotate small wheel twice; large wheel 8
        times (2:40).  Cross bridge and turn on switch.
    2.  Go back and turn off dock switch.  Get white page.
    3.  In library, see middle shelf far right book for p.158
        pattern.  Pick up red and blue pages.
    4.  Input pattern in door in fireplace opening.
    5.  Save game.  Decide which ending you want and deliver
        appropriate page.

    button.  If you do this quick enough the "control window" will just
    have started coming onto the screen, but not enough of it that
you can
    see any of the information on it.  Now you should be on the
"ARMY: BE
    ALL YOU CAN BE" screen.  Now hit any one of these: A, B, C, P,
LEFT or
    RIGHT. This will unpause you and return you to the game - but
