Start the game then press ‘LEFT SHIFT’, ‘L’ ,and press the RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON about 20 times or until you hear a funny noise. Four boxes should appear shoot either of them for unlimited lives, ten keys, end sequence or rock travel.

To kill the ultimate baddie, wipe out all the other spirits in the castle first, then shoot him in the forehead. Incidentally, if you can’t find any spirits in the dungeon, think rodent.
