What follows is a description of backdoors into Barbarian and Arkanoids. So, for those of you who enjoy the frustration and torment of losing after 25 hours of work to get to the next to the last screen hit 'n' now, before I spoil your fun. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE! Okay, here goes: (1) Barbarian - at the initial screen (where you are standing in the middle of the field), type "04-08-59". You should see the background screen color change after you hit the <return> key. Once this is done, you have immortality and cannot be killed. Kinda takes all the fun out of the game, but it lets you walk through all the levels. (2) Arkanoid - this can be activated at anytime during the normal play of the game. First, pause the game by hitting the spacebar. Second, type "dsimagic", but don't hit <return>. Third, now unpause the game by hitting the spacebar again. If you did everything correctly, you should see a brick labelled "DS" come down. Catch this brick. Once you have caught it, you can now request any brick you want. Also, you can get to the last screen of the game (battling the 'DOH') by hitting the 'F' key (for finale, I guess). Here's a list of all bricks: C - catch D - disruption B - break L - lasers S - slow E - expand P - paddle Typing the letter of the brick during the game will cause it to appear.
