Altered Beast
Continue
game play: After losing a life, hold X and tap Start until
restarting at the last game location played..
Options
menu: Hold A and press Start at the title screen. An
options menu will appear.
Level
select: Enable the "Options menu" code. Select a level from the
options menu and hold X + Start at the title screen to begin
game play at that location.
Beast
select: Hold X + A + B + Down/Left and press Start
at the title screen. A menu that allows selection of the beast for each
round will appear. Use the D-pad to change beasts and Start to
exit the menu.
Sound

at the title screen.
Interactive
credits: The credits will appear after Athena is rescued. Punch or kick
the credits to force them to scroll downward.
Two-player
mode: Press Start on controller two to begin game play.
Higher
jumps: Hold Up while jumping.
Hint:
Defeating the second Boss: When Nelf turns into the big eye, get close to the middle of the
eye when he is still in smoke form. Then use the electricity attack and he
will die instantly. Note: You may still get hit while attacking. This trick
works best with a controller with a turbo feature.
Hint:
Defeating the final Boss: When you get to the Boss, duck and shoot your fireball. This
works quickly and is effective. This is easy, because he uses his arms more
than his legs -- he will only kicks with about one in every ten punches.
Note: You will still get hit -- jump back and forth if needed.
Columns
Second
magic jewel: Create one row of normal jewels stacked almost to the top of the
playfield. Allow a vertical space for only two of the three jewels in the
next block to fit.. Watch the preview window for the next magic jewel block.
When it appears, quickly move it to the top of the prepared stack. The magic
jewel will eliminate the "touching" color jewels, and all of the
remaining jewels will drop down, as will the single magic jewel that was off
the playfield. This single magic jewel will drop down and eliminate another
group of colored jewels.
10,000
bonus points: Create one vertical column that is empty all the way to the
bottom of the playfield. Watch the preview window for the next magic jewel
block. Position it in a way so it falls down this column to the bottom.
Create
magic jewel: Begin game play in easy arcade mode. Fill the two columns on the
far left or far right as high as possible with jewels to create a magic
jewel.
Golden Axe
Level
select: Select arcade mode. Hold Down/Left + A and press Start
at the character selection screen. A number that corresponds to the starting
level will appear in the upper left corner of the screen. Use the D-pad
to change this value.

Phantasy Star 2
Slow
motion: Pause game play while in the countryside by holding Start
+ A. Keep A pressed to move in slow motion.
No
opponents in dungeons: Continuously press B to display the control menu and A
to close it while holding the D-pad in any direction.
Hint:
Shortcut: After leaving the second town (the one the bandits destroyed), go
west along the bottom of the isle to the side of the tunnel. The side of the
tunnel is a secret entrance and saves either a long trip back, or 60M for
the teleporter.
Hint:
Zema slowdown: In the town of Zema (a resort town), after the biolab, the people
are all tourists or elderly, and will habitually block the bridges and paths
in town. Patience is a plus.
Hint:
Visit Zema and Kueri at the same time: Due to the fact that the monsters in and around Zema and Kueri
are very similar, the game allows for both cities to be visited at the same
time. Use this to get better armor and weapons, get and level up Kain the
wrecker, and level up your party twice as much, making the dump tower (Roron
) much easier to defeat.
Hint:
Easy Ceramic Knives: When Rolf is at level 5, he needs to level up to go to the
abandoned building where the "scoundrels" are hiding. The knives
he is using are almost useless. The Ceramic Knives in the second town have a
hit value of about 25 points for most enemies, but cost 2800M. To buy these
knives, build your characters EXP and M around the abandoned building. The
monsters here have a value of about 80 to over 100 M most of the time,
allowing the knives to be bought just about the time the characters are
ready for the abandoned building. This also allows you to buy Rudo's Sonic
Guns and Shotgun.
Hint:
Amy with knives: Contrary to other sources, Amy can use knives. To best suit her
abilities, pair the best knives in the Aria with her best shot weapon. Also
use knives until a decent shot weapon becomes available.
Hint:
Saving money: When the doctor charges large fees to heal, go to Paseo (the
first town), where the doctor only charges a small fee. You will also be in
Paseo if you are using the Visiphone and the Ryuka Technique, or retrieving
Shir the thief when she steals something.
Hint:
Stealing items: When you get Shir the thief and she is leveled up properly (about
level 10) take her to shops. When the text finishes appearing on the screen,
press B(2) to leave. Repeat this until Rolf says that Shir is gone.
Go back to Rolf's house and she will be there, and the item she stole will
be in her inventory. Use this trick in the Central Tower in the first city
for the Visiphone, and in the second city (the burnt out one) for the Fire
Staff. Shir often finds rare items, but you must have patience. She only
steals at random, and has a knack for grabbing daggers and other cheap items
first.
Glitch:
Catman: Look closely at the Catman on Uzo Island. It is actually a
shapely Catwoman.

"PROMOTE", and "CURE" options. Do not quit the game

projectile or enemy touches or passes through the area that these dots
surround, Vectorman will be hit and usually take damage. There is also a
fifth dot that represents Vectorman's boot blast. When you use the boot
blast, the dot will move downward. If it touches an enemy, the enemy will be
hit by the boot blast and take damage.
