Gateworld cheats and cheat codes for PC

This was  much more  difficult to  'hack' than  normal, to say the
least,  since   the  save  game  files  become  different  lengths
depending on which difficulty level  you are using, which slot you
have saved  your game  under, and by which name  you have saved it
by.  This means that the area of the save-game file  that contains
information  on your number of lives, shots etc. is also different
each time! Because of this, the following edit is more complicated
than  usual, and  will  require the  use  of a  HEX-Editor  with a
feature for searching strings of HEX.

To work the edit, complete the following steps...

 i)  Load  Gateworld and start a new game remembering  whether it
     is an easy, normal or hard game.

ii)  When the  game begins,  don't  move and don't shoot!!  Press
     [ESC] to get the menu, and  select the  'Save Game'  option.
     Select the top  slot and  save you  game under  any name you
     like.  When the game is saved, quit  Gateworld and get  back
     to a DOS prompt.

iii)  Now  load a  HEX-Editor with a search feature and pop-up the
     file called "SAVGAME0.GW1".

iv)  Make a search for one of the  following strings depending on
     whether you were in a easy, normal or hard game :-

          EASY    -  06 00 00 00 0A 00
          NORMAL  -  03 00 00 00 05 00
          HARD    -  01 00 00 00 04 00

 v)  When  you arrive  at  the  destination,  change  the  string
     located there to the following :-

          84 03 84 03 84 03

vi)  Now load  Gateworld back  up, load  your save game, and  you
     should find  you have  900 coins,  900 lives and 900 shots!!
     What fun!!

Sorry about the complications....
