SavagePencil Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Does anyone know of any cheats for Cyber Virus? The Songbird page touts "More cheats than you can shake a stick at!" and I have a stick but nothing to shake it at. Specifically, I'd love a level select or something to skip the early levels. Carl started hiding cheats on the boxes of his games, but I only have the early PCB version so I can't see what's on the latest boxes Also a question: The Songbird page cites "NEW: Stealth Armor." Was this added to the new curved-lip release, or is it present in my original version, too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmbe Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 From Jungle Guide Issue #2: Expert Mode: On title screen, press Opt 1 + B + A Full ammo on every mission: On title screen, press Opt 1 + Up + B Stealth armor on every mission: On title screen, press Opt 1 + Down + B Mission Skip: On the mission screen, hold either left or right and press Opt 2. You can select any mission except Firebase #2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Songbird Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Thanks for supplying the cheats, @mmbe! Saves me the trouble of looking them up. Stealth Armor is in every copy of CyberVirus. It was "new" back when I added that feature to the game almost 20 years ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SavagePencil Posted February 26, 2020 Author Share Posted February 26, 2020 Any others lurking in there that you’re willing to reveal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Songbird Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 I believe that is all of them. Let the stick-shaking commence! CyberVirus is structured where you don't carry over anything between missions. So the simple mission select cheat is equivalent to as if you played through the missions one by one. If I ever get around to making CyberVirus 2, I would definitely want to use the EEPROM and allow the player to keep equipment between missions. Of course, then I'd have to design more equipment to pick up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SavagePencil Posted February 26, 2020 Author Share Posted February 26, 2020 Any objections to me adding these cheats to GameFAQs, et. al.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Songbird Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Go for it! And actually one more "cheat" I realize I never documented (it's actually more of a regular control, but not listed in the manual): from any mission briefing screen, press Opt 1 to go to the next series of missions. Note this always takes you to the first of that series, so first of four Jungle Ops missions, for example. That way players could try to play through a given mission series, then start at the next series later. Not sure why this didn't make it into the manual...

+-^CrossBow^- Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 These should be added to the tips/cheats section for the Lynx here at AA as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
