The Super Wing Commander Secret Codes

The Debug Mode Code :

The following cheat is from the Japanese 3DO Magazine, (9/10) issue.

I have verified that it works.

1. In the lounge, while holding X, press the sequence B, B, C, C, A, A. You should hear a sound effect. Release X.
2. Press L + R + P together. (I usually press and hold L + R, then press P) You should enter the Debug Mode main menu. Follow the directions on the screen.

• Play all the background music of the game.
• Play all the cinema clips, plus some that didn't make it into the final version. (Anyone know who is the *live actor* in FILM.MOV and UID.MOV?
• Set various system flags:
  • Killable = Set to False and you can't die.
  • Bangable = Set to False and you can't crash against other ships or asteroids.
  • Picker = Set to True, return to the Lounge, and keep cycling options until you hear "Choose Campaign" or "Choose Mission". With these, you can access every possible mission in each of the three campaigns.
  • Finger of Death = sounds promising, but I don't know how to use it while in the actual game.

The "Finger of Death" code :

Basically it's like the Alt-Del sequence on the IBM-PC except that you hit either R or L shift and B together, and whatever you have targeted will be instantly destroyed. Watch out though as I have killed my Wingman accidentally about 5 times now. I've got a better one. Set Killable and Bangable to False, then zoom through the Tiger's Claw. Your wingman will dutifully try and follow you... WHAM!

Just to clarify the Finger of Death, I've figured out through experimentation that R-shift plus B will destroy a red target and (fun, fun, fun) L-shift plus B will destroy a blue target. Apologies if this has already been posted, as netcom has on average been lagging about 2 days per post.
