Q. How come REO Speedwagon didn't do the SW music?
A.
Unknown. Anyway the music was made by Adrian Moore and Russell Shaw.
Q. What's with the zoom? I just don't get it!
A.
Zoom depends on your weapon range.
At max. zoom out you should be able to see just beyond how far you can shoot
with your selected weapon.
Bombs and other non-shoot weapons have a predetermined zoom level and home/end
are useless when you have these weapons selected.
Q. How the hell do I get money?
A.
The best way to get money is to rob banks.
How do you do this? Banks are usually VERY heavily guarded buildings.
If you blow up the guarded building a briefcase will appear.
This briefcase is your ticket to millions...
well maybe not millions, but a lot of money.
Q. How can I find the bank?
A.
The banks may have different sizes, some of them has three sphinx statues.
They always have three entracnes in front of them. These entrances have stairs.
There is also one entracne at back, without stairs. They have dark color.
On Playstation, they have also dollar signs on red background on front.
You can find pictures of banks in the Photo Gallery section.

Q. What's this hidden game I keep hearing about?
A.
It's that classic game BREAKOUT (or ARKANOID).
Use the Persuadertron when you're on the podium,
where a projector of the big billboard is, and it'll come up.
Play with mouse. Bonuses: T/W - tiny/widen your pad,
S - slow the ball down, D - double balls, Q - quad balls,
X - extra life, H - go to next level.
After winning 10 levels, you will be rewarded with Epidermis mods.
The higher you score, the better Epidermis you'll get.

on the screen when it happens ("Bonus item awarded").
Q. Installer don't want to run from CD, the message
"Low virtual memory" appears. How much memory I need?
A.
This message doesn't show the real problem.
Installer just won't run under NTVDM (Virtual DOS Machine built in Windows).
Use DOSBox. See "New computers" section.
Q. What is 'tension music'? Why I can't hear it?
A.
Tension music comes in when you're in danger,
for example when enemy agents are running to shoot you.
To hear tension music, you have to configure "MIDI device"
in sound setup. Also, you will only hear tension music
when CD Audio music is playing.
Q. When I'm trying to load my mortal game, the message appears
saying that save is corrupted. What's going on?
A.
The mortal game requires proper code from the .ini file to work.
This .ini file is created when you log in, and has same name as the login string,
for example "peter.ini". It is saved in the savegame directory.
The problem is that, probably by mistake, SW won't ask you for the login name
when creating new mortal game. So - to start mortal game properly, you must first
log in, type your name, and then (from inside the game) press "new mortal game".
This will make sure the .ini file will be stored. You must also use the same technique
every time you want to load mortal game - log in, type the proper name, then load.
Note that every time you press "new mortal game", the new code is generated and written
to the .ini file, so restored old save won't work anymore (unless you backup .ini file too).
Q. How to assign research?
A.
On PSX version you can't do research. New items are just given
to you after each mission.
