  A vertically scrolling clone of Tutankham.

  Played and enjoyed this game very much. It's very similar to King Tut's Tomb and Dandy, which makes it a solid pre-Gauntlet dungeon crawler. I'm happy to see several YouTube videos of the game in action. Good fun!

  CHEAT MODE losing strength no longer ends the game: find the only instance of "$E6 $C5" in the program code and change it to "$EA $EA". CHEAT MODE unlimited ammunition: find the only instance of "$C6 $C2 $60" then change it to "$EA $EA $60". Notice the $60 stays, and there's a 2nd $C6 $C2 followed by $D0 not $60 don't change this 2nd one having $D0. I compared many sources. The sequence "$AC $A4 $A4 $AC $A4" is a corruption caused by a transmission error long ago, many copies may have spread like a virus. Both $AC should be $A4 making a long string of $A4's. @ Hiro, this is a 32KB program code+data requiring 40K RAM to run it, are you still certain you have a cartridge model 800? 800 carts stop at 16KB in size.

  I found a "cheat version" of LOTO and unlike your typical useless Unlimited Lives cheat this cheat gives you unlimited ammo and unlimited time/energy too. The cheat is quite fun to play and after completion I couldn't imagine winning the formal game seeing all what hoops I was supposed to have jumped thru. Every minute or two of play reveals a rewarding new graphic of the latest treasure you've encountered. The orb itself seems slightly sexual, right Dr. Freud?

  I also have a pirate copy of this game, but on a cartridge. If it would help to at least get something dumped for the site, I'd be willing to loan it out for that purpose.

  I have this game on cassette. How can I submit it here?
