I would like to share a glitch in Konami's old but excellent game The Maze of Galious. I discovered this glitch about 17 years ago while putting too many hours on this brilliant game, and I am quite suprised not to have seen it mentioned anywhere (If it is well known then sorry).
What the glitch does is to make Popolon or Aphrodite totally invincible.
To do this you need to have at least world 2 open, and have the Mine weapon.
Enter world 2, place a mine at the top of the ladder at the very start, go down the ladder a bit until the mine starts flashing, climb back up the ladder and the mine will explode blowing your character back into the castle. You will find that there is no sprite collision any more. Unfortunately this will wear off if you do any of the following - Enter a world, Enter a shrine, Unlock a door, Use the Halo or the Feather.
A bit limited I know, but it makes using the lifts a lot easier.
Can also be done with world 4 and 9.
Regards Dave.

It seems there is a bug in the game: you get temporary invincible just after being hit and when you go to the castle during that time, this stuff is never reset, so you keep it for a while. Thanks to BiFi for checking this out.
You can force this effect by doing this in the openMSX console:
debug write memory 0xe518 1 |

I don't want to be a bitch but I've added this cheat about 4 months ago to the cheat database |

Vampier, it's in there for much longer already I think. Of course I could make more cheats for the real thing with the info we've gathered on the game over the time... It's just fun this little thing can be done without the cheat database as well. |
