Yes we all like to cheat sometimes:) So I have included a menu that allows you to do just that. Need ammo? No problem. Need rations? I got you covered. A cheat sheet has been included in the download. This was actually a personal addition I added to Steel Gear to help me with the development process. Have fun with it!
Playing the game will be very similar to the original, but not exact. Some weapons and equipment have been changed completely. Also, new explorable areas have been added. It will be a whole new gaming experience, with a heavy taste of nostalgia.
PLEASE NOTE
THIS GAME DOES NOT HOLD YOUR HAND! If you are having problems, following a walkthrough for the NES version will get you through it . Veteran players of the original will have no issues on where to go.(You've done this before!)
Enjoy!
