After the loading picture disappears, the first intro screen will appear showing the Vector Grafix logo while the speech sample “He could destroy us” plays.
Wait until the main attract sequence appears with the starfield in the background and the shields display at the top of the screen. Now hold down the ‘HELP’ key and type “XIFARGROTKEV”. As soon as you type the final character of the sequence, the shields display will disappear and be replaced with “CHEAT MODE” flashing in white, followed by “BILL” in yellow and “VEKTOR GRAFIX” in purple. The cheat mode is now active!
This will give you infinite shields during the game. At any time you can press the number keys on the main keyboard to play the sampled speech. Hold down any of the keys ‘L’, ‘C’, or ‘D’ to see the digitized pictures of Luke Skywalker, C3PO and Darth Vader respectively.
