We all know that collecting the seven different-colored gems gives you an extra life and a 100,000 Bonus Gem once the Boss is defeated. But collecting all of the gems in the correct order of color (from left to right on the gem counter - RED, ORANGE, YELLOW, GREEN, LIGHT BLUE, DARK BLUE, and MAUVE) not only awards you the life and Bonus Gem, it also grants you access to a magical secret room. When you reach the end of the level, a silver door appears. You don't have to fight the Boss.
Even more useful is how to create any color gem. The screen is split into several invisible vertical stripes of color. When a gem falls, its color is determined by the `color' of the area into which it has fallen. Now all you have to do is gauge carefully where the dead enemy will fall to create the gem color of your choice.
For infinite lives, choose three credits, hold down the 'QWERTY' keys and press your joystick 'Fire' button. When the game loads you should have infinite lives.

When you have typed in the code, click up a credit and an icon should appear in the bottom left hand corner of the start screen. This bonus is now operative throughout the game, but you will have to re-enter the code after all credits are used.
