     A few cheats were published in Computist. They involve changing
bytes on a copy of the game disk (such as a deprotected disk image).

Infinite Arrows & Spells
from: Michael Horton (Computist #50)

Use the Copy II Plus SECTOR EDITOR to make these changes:

At Track $05 / Sector $00 / at Byte $F9  change C6 E9 to EA EA .
At Track $05 / Sector $06 / at Byte $3D  change C6 E7 to EA EA .

Note: You must collect at least one arrow (or spell) to
      use arrows (or spells).

Invulnerability
from: Al Burson (Computist #52)

Use the Copy II Plus SECTOR EDITOR to locate and change instances of C6 E5 to
EA EA on
Tracks $00 - $05.  (The byte combination occurs 16 times.)

For partial protection, modify only some of the combinations.
For instance ...

Invulnerable to bats, demons, ghosts
At Track $03 / Sector $00 / at Byte $9F  change C6 E5 to EA EA .

Invulnerable to death-spitting plants
At Track $05 / Sector $0F / at Byte $A3  change C6 E5 C6 E5 to EA EA EA EA.

     A good program for editing bytes in sectors on 5.25" diskettes is the
SECTOR EDITOR included in Copy II Plus. For places to get Copy II Plus see
