Blake Stone Tips and Cheats

To activate debugging mode you must type a 
command line password when you run the 
program. The password is POWERBALL.

other program paramaters are listed below

The startup command with debug mode 
enabled:

     bstone powerball

There's more! When you see the Jam logo 
during startup, you must press and hold 
both left and right shift keys. Press and 
hold the left shift first, then the right 
shift. Pressing the keys at the right time 
can be tricky, there is a sound 
comfirmation if successful, otherwise 
you'll have to try again from the start.

Debugging keys (hold down BACKSPACE and 
press the indicated key):

   BACKSPACE, A -- Add players to AutoMap
   BACKSPACE, B -- Border color
   BACKSPACE, C -- Statistics
   BACKSPACE, D -- Invisibility
   BACKSPACE, E -- Jumps ahead to end of 
		   next level

		   coordinates and angle

   BACKSPACE, V -- ??? "Add extra 
		   VBLs(0-8)".  Not sure 
		   what this does.

The radar mode enables a real time level 
map at the lower left corner ofthe screen.
Play is slow as sludge, but the mode is in 
there.

Or, stack it with the debug password:

     bstone powerball radar
