Speedy Eggbert

Speedy Eggbert, originally known as Speedy Blupi is a platform game for the PC. It stars a yellow egg shaped character known as Blupi (or Eggbert in the eGames version of Speedy Blupi and Speedy Blupi II), who has featured in several games for the PC, mainly for the Smaky.

Blank Monitor
There is an unused variation of the monitors from single player mode which displays a blank grey screen. It can be placed in the level editor using a hacked player information file with the 'xmission' cheat activated.

Changeable Settings
In the Data directory there is a file called CONFIG.DEF which has the settings "FullScreen=1", "TrueColor=16", "MouseType=1", "SpeedRate=1", "Timer=50ms". Changing these settings allows the player to use a different cursor setting, play the game out of full screen mode, adjust the speed of the game and change the colors. These settings are also found in the games, Blupi at home and Planet Blupi.

Unused Cursor Setting
Changing "MouseType" from "1" to "2" changes the normal cursor to the default cursor, the link cursor to a glove and the loading cursor to a timer. The glove cursor can be seen on EPSITEC's website under 1996.

Debugging Feature
While playing the game, typing in "ZNETDEBUG" brings up yellow text at the top-left corner of the screen that says "/ snd=0(0) rcv=0(0)". It is unknown if it is possible to change these settings.

EPSITEC URL
In the main navigation room for single player mode, there are blocks that spell "WWW.EPSITEC.CH" hidden through the wall at the right-most corner of the room. These blocks normally cannot be seen without cheating. One method of viewing them is going into the 'DATA' directory, copying 'WORLD001.dat' into the 'C:\User\' directory and changing the file extension to '.xch'. This allows the player to load the room into the level editor.

Revisional Differences

 * 1) Non eGames versions are known as Speedy Blupi and feature a different title screen.
 * 2) In the demo version of Speedy Blupi available on the EPSITEC Games website, SOUND032.blp; the sound effect used for entering a door sounds slower than in the final version.

Unavailable Cheat
Using a hacked save file with the normally unavailable 'xmission' cheat activated allows the player to browse through 220 designs instead of 20 in the level editor. These are actually missions from single player mode. A new section is also added in the level editor that allows the player to place doors, 'start mission' monitors and keys. Additionally, playing missions 200-206 adds the words "REC" to the top-left corner of the screen and records the demo accessible from the title screen. Exiting and entering another demo level will make the demo skip to that level after input of the previous level. A video of editing single player missions in Speedy Eggbert II can be found here.

This cheat can be activated by editing one of the info###.blp files in the Data folder with a hex editor, and setting the 16-bit value at to a non-zero value.

Unused Text
Inside of the executable within the Game folder there is unused UTF-16 text that reads "Tomatoes" at offset. This is located within the text for used placeable objects in the level editor such as "Jeep", suggesting that it may be an unused object. Tomatoes are an important item in Planet Blupi, where they can be grown and eaten to restore health.
