Now that you mention it, that double-checkmark does look familar. Anyways,
anyone figured out how to hack the Tyrian Save games yet? :-) I tried
hacking it for money with a hex editor. Say I had 9750 cred's, i'd look for
16 26(hex) in tyrian.sav and then change it. Well I couldnt find 16 26, so
im guessing it stores the credit's in some odd-ball way.

This is true, but then again, if you go through the game with two Plasma 
Storms as your Sidekicks, you don't have to think to kill the bosses: 
just unleash two streams of plasma death on *any* of them, and they die.  
The Plasma Storm makes the game way too easy, IMHO.  I guess I'll just 
have to play without it...:)

As to the Banana Blast, just wait until you get it powered up to Level 
11 (both front and rear).  Then bananas just *cover* the screen, and just 
about everything dies fairly quickly.  It's actually sorta cool...:)

Sorry, can't remember the name of the powerup that you forgot, either.  
However, I personally think that that powerup is the best one.  Nothing 
like causing MANY explosions on screen at once to deal with those 
dastardly Tyrians...:)

Ja ne!
