Wanted: arrangements of Testament music

I read somewhere: press F5 in the intro demo to start in level 2.

And how do I get acces to level 2? I JUST DON'T GET IT!!!!

O.k., sorry if I tell you stuff you already know, I really tried only to include the most important stuff.
But completeness is a virtue, isn't it.

GENERAL HINTS

Avoid hamburgers when your energy is full,
HOWEVER:
When you’ve seen the screen flashing red (means you’re hurt), it’s okay to get one
greasy-dead-cow-sandwich without being punished with the nauseating pink stuff.

Always shun hamburgers when having full energy, even if you happen to enjoy the pink flashing. :-)
You’ll never know when strong enemies or one of the “big” enemies attack you and after that, you’ll be glad to have saved them.

With grenades, it’s a different story; always use one if you can reach new ones immediately & you’re full-stocked already & when enemies are visible
This tactique will save you energy.
The “rule” also counts for boss battles.

Finally, the following tip validates especially for later stages:
NEVER collect weapons or maps which you already have.
You’ll know why when, for instance, one of those pesky amoeba eats your items!

Most of the time, you'll want the 3-way weapon instead of the "rear shot".

STAGE 1 FROM THE START:

From your starting point, get the grenades (use them with [SHIFT]),
and also get the hamburgers (game starts with 50% energy full).

Head up until you can’t go further.

Go left. At the T-branch, proceed left.
You’ll see the stage-map, on the ground, below you. Anyway, proceed left.

Descend the stairs and immediately head right. Collect the map.
Look on the map by pushing [ESC].

You = Green ‘M’
Stage boss = Greyish blue disc-like thing
Yellow pixel = wall (but not always impenetrable!)
Red pixel = nice stuff to collect

I recommend heading for the nearest big red spot first thing, and
collect a shield and full stock of grenades.

But we’re talking’ EXIT here, right?
Okay.

Examine the map. At the map's [absolute middle vertical axis], down part of the map, is a gate-looking wall construction with a one pixel wide “entrance”.
That's the starting area.

A little bit right of this, you’ll see the same construction, almost at the same Y position.
That’s where you have to go!
Go through this gate, and the very gate will sink into the ground after you’ve done so.

Look at the map; it has changed slightly.
Proceed up, right and up. Follow the path left/down etc. to the Y-axis centre of the map again.

When you’re at the absolute middle of the map again, follow the road down-left, passing the starting screen of the stage.

Now, you can find your way through the left part of the map. from down-left, to up-left, to right again, down etc. until you get at the place where the “stage-boss” is. Can't miss.

Remember: Entrances do not always look like one;
The opening/closing gates are depicted as “walls” on the map.

Reaching the top-middle of the map, the screen will flash red and from there, you can figure it out. :-)

Enjoy!

P.S. @ Everyone, how many bonus stages have you found in this game?
I found three;

* Boat stage
* Flying stage
* Walking over some Michael Jackson kind of guy’s face stage

It means you have a cracked version which is hacked to enable seeing the enddemo without having to finish all levels. The original version doesn't have this problem.

Aaargh. Hehehe.

Nope, original version on a NMS8280 and on a MSX2+ enhanced Sony HB700D...
