Omega race easter egg

Post by orion70 »

You probably already know this, but I didn't.
I just read this interview with Andy Finkel:
There's a secret key sequence to get the hidden credits. It's been awhile, but I think it was...

While the title sequences are displaying, hold down the Control, Shift, and Commodore keys, and press the RETURN key. The game makes a sound, and you'll get a couple extra pages of title screen.
I tried it, and it works:

:D

(A couple of extra pages? I only see one...)

There's another key sequence. I recall doing it years ago.

Oh you guys didn't know this yet? The other one is pressing shift at the same time with the function key when you start the game. Then you'll get 4 extra lives at the beginning

That is not an easter egg. It says you can do that in the instructions if I'm not mistaken.
