If you're following me on X / Twitter (@memory_fallen) for my posts about reverse engineering retro games, check out RINGS OF SATURN, my Substack blog. Each week I take apart a different game and report my findings.
This week's main article is on Sky Target, the flight combat sim from Sega AM1.
Sky Target's story revolves around the theft of a super jet fighter, the "White Sword." If you clear the game's ranking mode you can pilot this special plane.
I found a cheat code that lets you control the White Sword plane without having to unlock it the normal way. This seems to have stayed secret for 28 years!
Details about the code and the reverse engineering that led to it are in the Substack article.
I also looked at ReBoot, the 1998 video game adaptation of the 90s TV show. I found some new cheat codes for it, too:
"Rainbow" mode
Top-down level view
Level select
Change enemy sizes
All of the details are in the post at Substack.
There are lots more reverse engineering articles in the archive. What games should I be looking at? Tell me, and I might add them to my list.
