Commodore 64-128-Plus/4 computers

Conan

· HIDDEN MESSAGE: The letters “EP” (for original Apple II designer/programmer Eric Parker) and “NGSP” (?) can be seen on the final screen (picture #1).  “EP” is on the bottom-left corner (at the end of the river) and “NGSP” is on the right side along the shore.  {Scott Stilphen}

· The original (Apple II) version is called Conan: Hall of Volta, but for some reason the Atari and Commodore ports are simply called Conan.

· Secret hiding spot: On level 6, if you stand on the left side of the machine so that you’re actually on top of it (picture #2), no enemies will touch you (the sparks can’t move past that ladder).  {Scott Stilphen}

· It’s possible to jump down on top of the tree in the first scene (picture #3).

· The maximum number of swords you can store up is 99; if you pick up 1 more at that point, the counter will roll over to 0 and you’ll have none!  {Scott Stilphen}

· BUG: On level 6, sparks can move beyond the end of the platform above and to the right of the machine (picture #4).

· BUG: On level 6, if you complete the ladder, sparks can climb it, but they can’t move to the left of it; however, they can move right - all the way across the screen until they’re completely off it (picture #4).  Not only that, it’s possible for them to wrap-around to the left side! But they won’t move out from the wall, and they’re not dangerous if you touch them (picture #5)  {Scott Stilphen}

· BUG: On the last level, it’s possible to jump down inside the right-most wall (picture #6).  If you go right at that point, you’ll fall down off the screen (and back to level 6).  {Scott Stilphen}
