** Cheats for Sega Genesis: **
-------------------------------
(Go to the JukeBox and press C on the following numbers.
You will hear Sketch say "OH YEAH" if you entered the numbers
correctly.)
* Invincibility : 3,12,17,2,2,10,2,7,7,11
* Level Select : 14,15,18,5,13,1,3,18,15,6 (then hit C on the
level you want to go to 1-6. Each episode has 2 parts)
** Cheats for IBM PC : **
---------------------------
* Type CAMERON (all caps) to get the cheat menu. The cheat menu comes up in
the menubar.
** General Tips **
-------------------
1.) Listen to Stix, he tells you a good strategy. A High-Low combo done
quickly and repeatedly works very well.
2.) Grab hold of a mutant. It will turn into either Strigil or Gravis, who
are much more fun to fight than mutants.
3.) When you need to break an inadimate object, use the shoulder-butt, which
is very powerful. It is done by trying to grab that object, instead of
grabbing it, you ram it! =)
4.) When there are two or more enemies on the screen at the same time, sit
back and watch them fight each other. It's always a good idea to be on
one side of BOTH your enemies, so one that enemy is hitting the other in
the back.
** Level Walkthroughs **
-------------------------
(On some levels you are given a choice of two ways to go, and I have mapped
out every possible way to go. The way I usually go took precedent in
numbering the frames. The "A" in the A-# stand for Alternate. Without
further ado, onto the walkthrough!)

| Mortous kidnaps Alica and tries to drown her in a machine that is half |
| drawn. Power-Fists, Grenades, Bombs, Knives, and Roadkill are not |
| very effective againt him. Neither are any attack combinations! The |
| key to beating Mortous is simple! The switch on the right side of the |
| frame makes part of the machine explode. You can pull this switch |
| over and over again, and make as many BOOMS as you want. The trick is |
| to lure Mortus down there. Stand by the engine that explodes and |
| Mortous will jump down near you. Quickly jump to the ledge with the |
| lever and pull it as many times as you can until he vanishes. When he |
| vanishes jump back down near the engine, and repeat the above process |
| until you've finally killed Mortous. Now you must kill the remaining |
| Kreeps on the level. After you've finished them off, a switch will |
| appear to the left of where Alica is being held captive. You should |
| be able to flip the switch and release her before she dorwns if you |
| followed my strategy. The rest as they is history! |
