Debug Menu

This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page. Specifically: There surely has to be a button code to access it...

Game Genie code VMLA-98DJ will load a debug menu, similar to those found in other Virgin games, in place of the options menu.

The available options are:

• Press A - Infinite Lives is now: Exactly what it says on the tin.
• Press B - Start Game on Level: Ditto.
• Press C - Photograph Freeze: Press Start at any time to freeze the action on-screen.

Text for the menu is stored at address 28C5:
