Copied Art
Sidewinder is a vertically scrolling shoot 'em up, just like Major Stryker. It's developed at Synergistic Software Inc. for Arcadia Systems in 1988. That's five years before Major Stryker was released. Sidewinder is released on the Amiga, the Atari ST and the PC. Here are two screenshots of the PC version, followed by a screenshot of Major Stryker. See if you can spot the similarities.

Cheats
The following cheats only work in the full version. Since the game is released as freeware, this shouldn't be a problem.

At the title screen type C H E A T, when it says 'Cheat Active' you've done it right.

At the title screen, when you hold down H + S and press one of the function keys, you'll warp to the level that has the same number as the function key you've pressed. Thus, when you hold down H + S + F1, you'll warp to level 1 and when you hold down H + S + F5, you'll warp to level 5.

Then in the game hold down BACKSPACE + H + S, it'll say 'Cheat Mode On'. Press these three keys again and it'll say 'Cheat Mode Off'.

You're now ready to use the following cheats:
TAB + OFire options
TAB + RRapid fire
TAB + SShield options



Alternatively, you can type T E C H at the title screen while holding down TAB. When it says 'Tech Support' you've done it right. Usually, when you press TAB at the title screen, the main menu appears and you can't type T E C H. So what you have to do is select 'Title Screen' at the main menu, hold down TAB en press ENTER to go to the title screen. While still holding down TAB, enter T E C H.

Now you can also use the warp cheat by holding down H + S at the title screen and pressing a function key. But in this Tech Support mode you can do even more at the title screen:
IWatch the intro animation of Episode 1
OWatch the intro animation of Episode 2
PWatch the intro animation of Episode 3
JWatch the ending animation of Episode 1
KWatch the ending animation of Episode 2
LWatch the ending animation of Episode 3

In the game the following cheats are activated in Tech Support mode:
CPause the game, press C again to advance one frame
TAB + EExit level
TAB + BACKSPACEDisplays the words 'Show Lock' and speeds the game up

Again you can press in the game BACKSPACE + H + S and again it'll say 'Cheat Mode On'. And again you're now ready to use the following cheats:
TAB + OFire options
TAB + RRapid fire
TAB + SShield options
But this time TAB + I also works and it gives you invincibility.
