EASTER EGGS
-----------
Coder Phill Boag-Butcher (Galahad) has revealed how to crack a couple of easter eggs that he has been sitting on (poor joke!) since releasing the Amiga conversion of STARQUAKE:
(1) If you hold down fire until the 'Copyright' screen appears after the cracktro, a different title tune is played.
(2) The game contains a secret section, but how do you unlock it??!! Get a highscore and enter your name as the best home computer ever made!!!
