Time Bokan Series: Bokan to Ippatsu! Doronboo Kanpekiban, the 1997 shoot-em-up for Saturn from Eleven and Banpresto, has a cheat code that enables its unlockable features.

You won't find it on cheat sites or in magazine archives - it seems to have gone unnoticed these last 29 years. I found it hiding in the game data.

Details on how it works are in the Substack post.

Shaq Fu, the 1994 game from Delphine Software, lets players experience the dream of the 1990s: to become basketball legend Shaquille O’Neal as he battles an evil mummy from an alternate dimension.

I took a look at the Genesis version of this game and found a previously-unreported cheat code that lets you instantly win (or lose) matches. Enabling it involves altering sound options, entering a button sequence, and disconnecting one of the controllers.

Details are on Substack!

Kronos Digital put out two Fear Effect titles for the PlayStation. I took a look at both of them and found:

• A cool set of Easter eggs from the development team in the third game.

• A batch of new cheat codes for the second game, including a menu that can enable all four cheat effects in one place.
