~Major Stryker


A saved-game edit  -  By Simon Burrows


`Okay, so  here's an edit for saved-game files which you can use to
`take yourself  to any  level in  this old,  crappy game.    I  was
`originally gonna' add edits for number of lives, shot type, shield
`type etc. until I realised that this type of data is not stored in
`the save  game file   -   if  you save  and restore  these figures
`return to the defaults.  If you must edit these variables and  you
`have the  registered version of Major Stryker, try using the cheat
`in Issue 36 of Cheet Sheets instead.

`Anyway, back to business.

`This cheat  is a little more complicated than usual.  I'm not sure
`whether this  is because  Apogee have  tried to  build in an anti-
`save-game-edit system into their saved-game files, or just because
`the way the files are read is alittle strange, but, basically, you
`have to  edit two  bytes to  change your current level rather than
`one, and if the two bytes don't read specific things then the file
`is not recognised when you go to restore it.

`Right.   To carry out the edit, load Major Stryker and start a new
`game.  As soon as level one pops up, press F1 to get the menu then
`select 'save  game'.   Press nought to have your game saved in the
`top slot,  then enter  any name.   Now quit back to DOS and load a
`hex-editor.   Pop up  the file "SRA.MS" and make changes as listed
`in the following table :-



`ZONE TO ENTER     PLANET   CHANGE DATA IN...     AND DATA IN...
