Hi there again. I will be brief but I can really use an answer to my question. What I need is this. I have blood money(by psygnosis) and would really like to make a backup copy of it. This is not I repeat not piracy just trying to protect an investment in money. Does anyone out there know how to do this?!!? Joshua

Blood Money is a great game but very difficult. Just out of curiosity has anyo ne ever finished the game? Does anyone know that the $250 improvement does... its right next to the faster speed in the shop and the insruction book says something about improved efficiency... anyone know?

About Blood Money- I bought the game and can only get past the first board. As for the thing you can buy, I think it is an extra man, and if it isn't it replenishes the power into your ship. Joe Reeves jreeves@osu-20.ircc.ohio-state.edu Go BUCKS!!!

Hi,
Actually, I just finished typing a reply about a cheat for this
game. There are a couple of us who have finished the first two
worlds and are trying to get a cheat to let us play the other two
more easily. So far, nothing.
POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD?
The $250 Norton Thunder Thru appears to do only one *very handy*
thing: it replentishes your shields. It doesn't raise them higher
than 100%, but... So, you can lose several lives' worth of shields
without losing *that* life, and you can keep those costly weapons
longer! When I finally figured this out my scores shot right up,
because I didn't have to replace weapons - I could then buy life
with the extra money.
Good Luck!

That power increases your energy back up to full - so you can keep all your weapons, and not die quite as soon... Next to it, the ankh is the extra life... My friend and I have been playing blood money for a couple weeks now, and we're almost at the end of the first level - it's an incredibly difficult game!!!

Though I did using a friend of mine's pirated (SCREAM) version that had a cheat mode built into it. The "bosses" at the end of each level are cool, but the end of teh game is a complete let down. It basically says ,"You finished the game, GAME OVER". You would think after the incredible opening to the game, Psygnosis would have done something with the FINALE. Well, they didn't... Is there anyone out there that EVER finished the game with a cheat mode? I honestly think it is IMPOSSIBLE, especially when you look at the higher levels.

How many screens are there on level one of Blood Money ? By screen, I mean where the game starts to force you to go up or down into the next area. I think I am close to finishing screen one, but for all I know I'm only a third of the way through. Thanks. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Dave Ewing "Act like a dumbshit and they'll ewing@se-sd.sandiego.ncr.com treat you like an equal." ----------------------------------------------------------------------

It took me about a month. I conqured it last January when I had a lot more free time because of vacation. The only hints I can really remember, (besides to play it alot so you know where to shoot before the aliens appear on the screen), are 1) Play by yourself. You need all the money you can get. 2) Always by the $100 weapons. Both of them. This is anonther reason to play alone so that these are not sold out. The other weapons should always be considered secondary. 3) Have always at least 4 ships in storage. This should be enough to get you to the next shop to buy more weapons, if you should die. 4) As you get better, you should have less fatal shots, so buy a shield replenisher when you are low on shields and have good weapons. Basic information about when I played. You should be good enough to roll your money purse over after completeing level one. If your money is under $1000, then your missing or wasting a lot of money. Level 2 provides an even bigger money count. Level 3 sucks. Hardly any money at all. Level 4 I'm not to sure about? I was too busy completeing the level to worry about money. On my winning game I did the boards in the oreder of 1-4-2-3. Do three last, when planning for a winning game (no money). Always play one first even when you just want to practice on another level. You must have money for special weapons to complete this game. About the ending, I don't think the ending is as boring as Scott says. It's nothing spectacular, but it does have an small animated ending, unlike Shadow of The Beast which I also won on without a cheat:-). I know I probably just babbled about things you already know. But thats about all their is too it. You just have to get good at the first 2 levels so you can buy your way through level 3 and 4. GOOD LUCK!! -- *************************************************************** * Craig Schanning - cschan@carroll1.cc.edu * * And the next thing you know, ol' Jed's a millionaire * ***************************************************************

I found this on a local BBS a while back. I haven't tried it so I can't tell you how well it does. It's written in basic (sorry, I just found it, I didn't write it!). Maybe some programmer can take it and convert it to a permenant hack? Any way, It gives you unlimited lives. Here it is: ------------------------cut me hard------------------------------------- ---------------->>>>>> UNLIMITED LIVES FOR BLOOD MONEY <<<<<<<-------------- Amiga Version Only!! Here it is! For those of you who just can't finish Blood Money. This program will allow you to get unlimited lives for one or two plavers and finally see the end of the Game. My thanks to everyone on GEnie who helped me fix the problems in this Program. Instructions: 1 Load Workbench 1.2 2 Run Amiga basic from DF0 3 Load and Run "BMPRG" 4 Now insert Blood Money disk #1 in DF0 then hit a key right away! You must hit a key before the drive starts to run or you will get a Read/Write error. If you do it fast enough, Disk #1 of Blood Money will Start to boot. Now you will have unlimited lives.

About the Blood money talk: When I played blood money (when it came), I succeed to come to level four (after completed the first, second and the third level). I got over 200,000 points, but then I got some bored, but maybe I will start over again to complete the whole game? (I played the original without any cheat at all!!)
