[comp.sys.amiga.games] Shadow of the Beast I cheat

klynn@ksuvax1 (Kevin J. Lynn) (09/18/90)

I am looking for a copy of the Shadow of the Beast I cheat: INFINITE-ENERGY
(The one that uses VirusX by Justin G.?), or any other cheat that works. 
I have not been able to get the copy I have to work (tried it on 3 different
Amigas, with 2 different copies of the game.)  I guess maybe I got a bad copy.
Has anyone else out there gotten it to work?  Any help appreciated!

Perhaps I have been misunderstood?  The "cheat" I was referring to does NOT 
permit any sort of software copying.  It is (I take it) a program that alters
the game while it is in RAM, giving the player infinite lives (or something like
that).  It isn't illegal, to the best of my knowledge, to alter any software 
that one owns.  My understanding is that this "cheat" is a public domain
program, freely distributable.  The "copies" of the game I referred to were, 
of course, legally purchased.  I have no interest in stealing.

If I am wrong about the legality of such a "cheat", my apologies to the net.
If not, I still need help with this game!

Andy obviously cannot understand the use of the word "copy" as a euphemism for
"disk". All companies send to retailers are "copies", what'd you think, Amiga
Man, you've been buying the originals?

And about being "niave" about the Net.police!", well....you get the idea, right?

********** WARNING ********* SPOILER ALERT *********** WARNING ************













                      Solve for : Shadow of the Beast

                      --------------------------------





1.  Load the game.



2.  After you start the game, go to the left and enter the tree   

    with the red arrows flashing into it.



3.  Go to the right and go down the first ladder.



4.  Go to the left and go down the first ladder you come to.



5.  Go to the right past the green spider like monsters and climb 

    down the ladder.



6.  Go left and down the ladder and go left across the bridge.



7.  Go down the ladder and go to the right past the purple   

    monsters.



8.  Go down the ladder then go down the right ladder.



9.  Go down the first bamboo ladder and then go left and down the 

    next bamboo ladder and go left halfway down (At the first   

    landing.)



10. Go to the left past more purple monsters (Rain drops keep    

    falling on my head...) and jump over the pit. Grab the Key.



11. Fall into the pit. Go to the right. Go all the way up the    

    bamboo ladder. If you missed the key, go left halfway up the 

    bamboo ladder and go back and get it.



12. Go back up both bamboo ladders, then up the wooden ladder,   

    then left and down the next ladder. 



13. Go left through more purple monsters, and you will reach a   

    winged statue throwing a ball in the air. Punch the ball

    until it blows up. You now have a new weapon.



14. Go all the way to the right, and enter the transporter (Looks

    kinda like a bird cage). Then go up the wooden ladder, then  

    go to the right. The game should load briefly here.



15. Once you reach a large monster (It look like an electric    

    chair with teeth) just start firing until it dies.



16. Go to the right and kill the green monsters, and go up the

    first ladder you come to. Then go all the way to the left,   

    and you'll find some green monsters. Kill them. You'll soon  

    reach a switch that says "Don't Touch". Punch the switch     

    once. Then go to the right and go up the first ladder you   

    come to. 



17. Go to the left, through the bouncing eyeballs, until you find

    a key. Go back to the right through the eyeballs. Go down the

    first ladder you come to. Go to the right. Go down the first 

    ladder you come to.



18. Go to the right and go past the snail and go all the way down

    the ladder. Go to the left through the red dragons and go    

    through the bouncing Psygnosis symbols, then go down the    

    ladder. Go to the right.



19. Go down the ladder, go to the right, and continue going to   

    right through all the red skulls and wasps. The game will

    load briefly again. Then go down the ladder. Go to the right.

    Then go down another ladder. Then go to the left. Continue 

    going to the left and go down the first ladder you come to.

    And then go left and down another ladder. Go to the left. 

    Go up the next ladder, left and down the next ladder. Then

    up the next ladder, go to the right, and pick up the vial

    which will give you 'Power Punch'.



20. Go to the left and go all the way down the ladder. Go to the 

    right under the rocket engines. Continue all the way to the 

    right until you come to a large red monster. Start punching

    it until it dies. Then go to the right and enter the door,   

    and climb up the ladder. The game will load again, and you'll

    be back near where you started. Go right. When you get to a  

    statue, punch it until it comes to life, then kill it. Then

    continue to the right, past the castle entrance, and jump up 

    and grab the torch. Then go left and enter the castle.



21. Go left once you enter the castle and up the first ladder.

    Then go all the way to the right and down the ladder. Then to

    the right, and all the way up the next ladder. Then to the

    left and walk off the edge. Continue to the left through the

    daggers and through the green monsters until you some to a

    dead-end. Then go up the ladder. The game will load briefly

    here. Go to the right through a bunch of knifed monsters.

    Continue to the right until you reach a dead-end. Then pick

    up the wrench and go back to the left past the table until

    you reach a dead-end. Go down the ladder. Go to the right

    until you reach another dead-end. Go down the ladder. Go to

    the right, walk off the edge, and then go to the left, across

    a bridge and under some spiders. Go down the ladder at the

    dead-end. Go to the right, through the head-less jumping

    monsters, and down the ladder by the dead-end. Go to the

    left across the bridges. You'll come to a treasure chest. 

    Bend down and punch it and pick up the gun. Then go back to

    the right. When you reach the machine where the lightning

    is, bend down and press the fire-button in front of the 

    machine. This should turn the lightning off. Then go to the

    right and up the ladder. Then go to the left, and walk off 

    the edge. Continue to the left and go up the ladder. The game

    will load briefly here. Go to the right, and go down the

    ladder at the dead-end. Go to the left, through the flying

    torpedoes and go down the ladder at the dead-end. Half-way

    down the ladder the game will load again. Go to the right,

    and you will reach a green three-headed dragon. Go all the

    way up against the dragon, as far to the right as possible,

    and start shooting until it dies. Then go through the door on

    the right. After the game finishes loading and you are given

    your space suit, go straight to the right all the way until the

    floor totally disappears. Continue to the right until you

    reach and then destroy BOTH of the monster's mouth's. This

    will kill it. Then go to the right through the door-way.

    You will appear outside the castle in the graveyard. Go all

    the way to the right and punch the giant's big toe until he

    dies, Yipeee! You won. (And I can stop typing!)
