OCS

When you load the game it will say “Press fire to start loading”. Press fire and after a small delay the high score table will appear. As soon as the high score table disappears, the title screen with the helicopter from the film Blue Thunder will appear. Type “CRASH” and as you press the final ‘H’ key, the screen will flash grey several times to signify that the cheat is active.

During the game you can press ‘HELP’ to skip to the next level.
