There's an easter egg on Dungeon Master level 1. If you go to the entrance to the dungeon (after you've picked some characters) use one of the wizards to cast a spell. I can't remember it right now. If you face the Dungeon entrance and cast the spell you get to see an image of Lord Order who is the good half of Lord Chaos (the end baddie). They are both one being who had been split in 2 by a powerfull spell.

Great codes! do they work on the C64 version as well??

23 October 2001, 22:44

Whatever happened to the Easter Eggs (i.e. secret codes) that were supposed to be in Populous II.

There was a secret code MUSIC, in which some crappy music played in the background.

In the manual, Bullfrog said they would be releasing more codes in future releases... but never did.

Anyone have codes?

turk182 · 23 October 2001, 23:27

On the C64 IK+ I think required you to press three keys at the same time like T + H + E ,and so on ,3 letter words...

If you reset ubiks music on the C64 you could play space invaders! , There are tons more but It hasnt come to me yet...
I wonder if there are similar things on the Amiga.?

turk182 · 23 October 2001, 23:38

Just Remembered isnt there a secret game in switchblade 2? ,I think it was some crappy bouncing ball thing

T_hairy_bootson · 24 October 2001, 12:49

yeah there was a bouncing ball game and if you touched anything you died

Funnily enough lotus turbo challenge 2 also had a hidden game it was a remake of an old shooting gallery game

Cant remember how to do em though

24 October 2001, 12:56

Yup

Lotus 2 : Type DUX (I think as your password) - Gives a duck shoot game (like on the C64)
Lotus 3 : Type CU AMIGA - Gives that grid runner game

I heard that in Lotus 1, you can type MONSTER as player one's name and SEVENTEEN as player 2's name, but I never got anything when I tried this years ago. Maybe y'all can figure this out

7-Zark-7 · 24 October 2001, 13:52

I do recall that the original Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge had a hidden shoot-em-up game as well. I think it involved blowing up asteroids or something.
Was it something like player 1 name had to be "Monster", & player two "Seventeen"??

Muzkat · 24 October 2001, 14:46

In an old Amiga magazine, it says that on Lotus 1, if you type...

Fields of Fire or Seventeen or Monster

you would get a hidden game. Unfortunately, I tried all these ages ago, and got nowhere.

I think a friend once said you can only access the hidden game through the above passwords in two player mode. Try it.

Amiga1992 · 24 October 2001, 18:53

I moved the Star Trek stuff to Offtopic

Damn, Grid Runner you say??? I Must try that as soon as I get home!

I need to fix my monitor ;(

Codetapper · 25 October 2001, 00:43

I've tried 3 different versions of the original and NONE of them have that hidden asteroids game. I can only guess it's an Atari ST cheat or something. I'd be keen to know if somebody else can do it.

As for hidden stuff, the only thing I can remember offhand is in Hudson Hawk (btw, great game imho!) if you leave your dude standing still for ages eventually a piano falls out of the sky and drops on you - even if you move left/right by then the piano moves with you and kills you.

Tim Janssen · 25 October 2001, 09:22

Akira,
The hidden Gridrunner-game in Lotus III Amigaboy is referring to is Shaun Southern's Proof Of Destruction (P.O.D.). This is one of my favourite shmups for the C64 I mentioned in the "Favourite Shoot-'em-up"-thread a couple of weeks ago.

Amiga1992 · 25 October 2001, 18:04

Ah, P.O.D.!!! That game is coming to me as we speak, in a tape for the +4

Tim, you see, even Codetapper likes Hudson Hawk!

Tim Janssen · 26 October 2001, 10:35

More and more I get the feeling there is a Hudson Hawk- conspiracy here!

I have never seen the piano-falling-from-the-sky sequence in this game but then again Hudson Hawk- really got on my nerves when it stayed for a couple of minutes on my screen.

As for those Lotus games, it seems Shaun Southern converted many of his original C64 games to Amiga. P.O.D and Duckshoot are the most popular. I just wished Kikstart was hidden in an Amiga game. Kikstart is one of Shaun’s most popular C64 titles: it features a stuntman on a motor who must dodge obstacles in a horizontal scrolling path.

T_hairy_bootson · 26 October 2001, 15:43

you can get kikstart the motorbike game on amiga its made by magnetic fields which made lotus but its called "super scramble"
its a side view dirtbike game where you ride over obstacles like VW beatles

cool game

CodyJarrett · 26 October 2001, 16:43

Kikstart 2 is out on the Amiga, though.

Tim Janssen · 26 October 2001, 16:56

This is the last question before my weekend starts: Cody, is Kikstart 2 a full-price or PD release and is it really programmed by Shaun Southern?

CodyJarrett · 26 October 2001, 18:14

It was a commercial release developed by Icon Design and probably published by Mastertronic. I'm not sure about Shaun Southern.

Drake1009 · 26 October 2001, 18:36

And compared to the C64 version it's garbage if you look away from the graphics.
