just found some old old old notes left lying around in my room from when i had some spare time to learn about poking cpc games from the jedi master Mr Anonymous at the world of speccy forums.
I am using WINAPE
Airballs
INF LIVES = address 00c3 poke 00
Looks like there is an invulnerability poke aswell but cant read my own writing
address for invulnerability looks like 06A0 poke C9
seems to make you invulnerable to the big snake creature but not the normal balls ??
wrong poke value perhaps ??? i dont know?
away from the pokes has anyone seen the title screen on Airballs ?
a lovely colourful raster effect scrolls from top to bottom over the main screen. Interesting technique has anyone seen this elsewhere in cpc gaming or demos ?

Well the raster was designed and optimized for green screens!

Thats simple!
Just upload your file onto a webserver (If you have one)
Then embed it with the [ img]hxxp://mywebserver.com/myfile.jpg[/ img] (Without spaces in the brackets!)
Or, if you don't have a webserver, you can attach your image as you can see in my attached file:

There's a cheat mode in Airballs (http://www.cpcwiki.eu/forum/www.cpcwiki.eu/forum/games/lost-game-found-alpha-jet-(1988)), by pressing some keys in the title-screen. However I forgot them.
"YXES"? "YGRO"?
