Another cheat is holding up allows you to pass through the screen forwards and backwards. (First appearance of Killer Satellites at beginning of 4th level.) Parsec manual (incorrect description of when Killer Satellites appear) You never know how many you will meet in a single However, they attack a randomly generated Killer Satellites, worthĤ00 points each, appear for a surprise attack, as they are able toĮlude the sensing devices of your onboard computer. That is not seen in the first three levels. The Killer Satellites set off no alarms, unlike all other enemies.įollowing the asteroid belt in Level Four, a type of alien appears In their first appearance, it is directly after the ground changes from red (3rd level) to blue (4th level.) Also, if you have the speech synthesizer hooked up, it says, "Advance to next level," directly as the ground changes color and before the Killer Satellites come out. The color change, which indicates a new level, always occurs before the Killer Satellites come out. Some people believe the Killer Satellites came and the end of the 3rd, not the beginning of the 4th. The Parsec manual says it was the end of the 4th. A special enemy, the Killer Satellites, would only come out at the beginning of the 4th Level. 
Also, when you paused the game (by pressing "P") it said, "Time Warp Activated", which was very original and cool at the time. (Invisible Bynites not invisible after all, they are cleverly disguised as black!) NEW: On the Classic99 emulator, I was able to accomplish this trick without a joystick, and by holding down the "q" fire button and the "." fire button at the same time.Īlso, the invisible Bynites (which were actually not invisible, but drawn in black) would become visible over all the laser trails! (Please contact us if you know more about this.) In fact, you do not crash into the laser trails, but some unknown invisible thing that is created when you leave laser trails. You can also achieve this by using more than one fire button on the keyboard, too, but there might be a limit to the number of keys the TI-99/4A will register as depressed at one time. My brother, Jason Doucette, and I discovered that if you press the joystick button and the corresponding "fire" button on the keyboard simultaneously, the laser never overheats and leaves trails of itself all over the screen which you can crash into sometimes. 
If anyone has a chance to verify these facts on real TI-99/4A hardware, please contact us.
