Having Fun With Qogo

Introduction

This article like many others I will be doing, is a recreation, tidy up, etc of articles originally

published in old User Group Magazines. As the quality of these old magazines is quite

poor, I decided to take it upon myself to recreate those articles and present them in an

improved format, with pictorial enhancements and where possible improved content.

This time I thought I would have some fun with Qogo. This article was originally Published

in Einstein Monthly News as part of their Harry the Hacker series of articles.

More lives

Insert the Time Bandit disk and from DOS type;

LOAD QOGO.COM and press ENTER ;note the number of Blocks which

will be used for saving the program

MOS and press ENTER

M 0542 and press ENTER

FF. and press ENTER (remember to type in the full stop after the number.)

This will give you infinite Lives

Next insert a blank disc, on which you want to save the modified Qogo to and press

CTRL/BREAK, this will return you to DOS. Then type:

SAVE nn QOGOL.COM ;note the nn should be replaced

with the number of Blocks noted for

saving earlier

You now have your modified copy of Time Qogo on disc. Load and enjoy.

Happy gaming.
