3. KNOWN ISSUES

- Maps Sometimes don't load. Press escape and try again. I have no idea why this happens.
- Users with limited rights may get an error, your settings and hiscore may not be not saved. Try running the game from 'My Documents' folder or just find a computer where you have administrator rights.
- Collisions are not always accurate



4. TIPS AND CHEATS

If you want original Battle City explosions, go to sprites folder, delete explode_big.gif and explode.gif. Find files with the same names but with no extentions and add extention .gif

There is a cheat menu in the game where you can set various additional settings. However, if you activate cheats your hiscore will not be saved. To access this menu press the * asterisk key at the options screen. Type word  cheatmenu   and the new menu called 'cheats' should appear. Enjoy! Check out 'ENEMY BONUS TAKE' option. It's really fun and you may see two rare enemy tanks if you select this mode.

If you want to change music during gameplay press number keys from 1 to 9.

If you lost all your lives in co-op mode, you can 'borrow' other player's live by pressing fire. It works if other player has at least one live.
