Notes

[1] Distributed in Australia by Mindscape, in Germany by Rushware, and in Italy by Leader.

[2] Several magazines (e.g. The One and Zero) published a cheat for the game that only works with the Paranoimia crack of the game.

Conversion Notes

The Nintendo SNES version is known as "SUPER SHADOW OF THE BEAST" and was never released, although a rom of what seems to be the finished version can easily be found.

on my head!) and jump over the pit. Grab the key.

10. 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.

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

left and down the next ladder.

12. 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.

13. Go all the way to the right, and enter the transporter (which

looks kind of like a bird cage). Then go up the wooden ladder,

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

14. Once you reach the large monster (which looks like an electric

chair with teeth) just start firing until it dies.

15. 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.

16. 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.

Go to the left through the red dragons and go through the bouncing

Psygnosis symbols, then go down the ladder. Go to the right.

18. 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. Now 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”.

19. Go to the left and 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.

20. 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. Now go to the left and

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

through the green monsters until you come to a dead-end. Then go

up the ladder. The game will load briefly here.

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 headless 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.

22. 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. Halfway down the ladder the game will load again.

23. 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.

24. 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 mouths. 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!
