[color=blue]> Here is the way it was done on the Atari 5200 (adapted from a[/color]
[color=blue]> technique I got off the net for Atari 400 and 800).[/color]

[color=blue]> Start a game and get yourself to a place that will be safe for several[/color]
[color=blue]> seconds (i.e., the right side of the first ramp - I'm assuming your[/color]
[color=blue]> screens are similar to the 5200). Then punch in the 10 digit[/color]
[color=blue]> telephone number for BIG 5 (the manufacturer - it should be in the[/color]
[color=blue]> manual, and on the title screen). Now, you hold the upper fire button[/color]
[color=blue]> (I hope you have an analogue for this on your machine - it was the[/color]
[color=blue]> shift key on the Atari 400/800), and keeping it depressed (like a[/color]
[color=blue]> shift key) enter the number of the desired level on the keypad.[/color]

[color=blue]> You can now jump to any screen you desire (0 = 10) at any time, and[/color]
[color=blue]> can do so until you remove the cart. or turn off the machine. Try[/color]
[color=blue]> doing this just after losing your last life, but before the game ends.[/color]

[color=blue]> Let me know if it works![/color]

The above was posted to net.micro. I tried the technique and couldn't get it
to  work  on  the  Colleco  version.  If  anyone knows of a way to switch to
different  levels  on the Micro Fun cartridge, please post to this newsgroup
or send me mail.
