Stargunner

Stargunner
Developer: Wizworks Publisher: Apogee Software Platform: DOS Released internationally: November 19, 1996 This game has unused text. This game has debugging material.

Stargunner is a fairly good shmup, but had the bad luck of being released at a time when MS-DOS was dying. It was released as freeware in 2005.

Debug Mode

Start a new game, then hit F8 during play. Quit the game, then restart it using the same pilot selected previously. After that, the player can press F8 to toggle invincibility while in the game. Pressing 5 on the numeric keypad while in the shop gives the player 5000 credits. Note that this only works with the registered version of the game. In addition, Shift + N nukes all the enemies on screen without using a nuke and Shift + F1 immediately ends a level.
