Paganitzu

Apogee, 1991

After Keith Schuler made Chagunitzu for Softdisk he got hired by Apogee software to make a sequel to the action/puzzle game.  That game became Paganitzu (Aztec for Temple of the Gods), an even better action/puzzle game.  It's got great gameplay with challenging puzzles, colorful levels and lots of fun little secrets.  Contrary to other games at the time, each episode of Paganitzu has a very different theme.  Not only the graphics are different, but the puzzles have a different feel as well.  The episodes are connected by an elaborate story line, but the conclusion of the final episode exceeds all as it is an incredible 17 minute long cinematic!

Cheats
While playing Paganitzu press F1 to go to the game menu.  When you're there press CTRL + A + L and you'll be taken to another screen.  There you can enter a number.  When you enter a right number, you'll hear a sound through the PC speaker.   The right numbers are:

32599 Lives
589Show end sequence
642God mode on
643God mode off
7xxLevel warp, where xx is the level to warp to and 01 <= xx < 21
723Normal point value (episode 1 only)
822Double point value
823Normal point value (episode 2 and 3 only)

Hints
There are four secret warp levels in episode three of Paganitzu.  Two of them are actually Chagunitzu levels reused.

Keith Schuler implemented those as sort of an Easter egg, but he never told the guys at Apogee about them until after the game had shipped (otherwise it wouldn't be a secret :)).  So hints on how to enter these levels didn't make it onto the hint sheet that came with the game.  Keith never wrote down how to access these secret warp levels, and now he doesn't remember how to reach them anymore.

But we do know how to get to all four of these warp levels!



To access warp level 1 you only have to push a blue demon next to an exit, so the exit will disappear.  When you move Alabama Smith to the position where the exit was, you'll be taken to the first warp level.

Push it to the right... Push it to the right...


This can be done on every level that has a blue demon in it, like level 11 and level 14.  Unfortunately I haven't found a way to do this without using god mode.  Warp level 1 is the same as level 3 of Chagunitzu.

And push it to the left. And push it to the left.




For the second warp level you'll have to be in level 14.  In that level you must bug the upper blue demon a few times.  He'll get so annoyed at you that he will curse you with devilosis.

Wake up! You're not paid to sleep on the job. Wake up! You're not paid to sleep on the job.


Now go to level 21.  At the center of this level there are two positions inside a ring where you normally can't get to, but when an acute devilosis attack strikes you, you can get there.  When you are inside the ring, wait until you change back into Alabama Smith and you'll be warped to the second warp level.

Where is Alabama? No, I don't mean there in the status bar. Where is Alabama? No, I don't mean there in the status bar.




The third warp level is a bit easier to access.  Go to level 13 and play this level just like you normally would.  Now go to the bottom of this level.  There's a place where you must walk two times.  That place is displayed in the following screenshot.  The second time you stand there, that piece of string at the left-hand side of this level will disappear and an entrance to the third warp level will appear.  Warp level 3 looks a lot like level 12 of Chagunitzu.

I know how to get here, do you? I know how to get here, do you?




Thanks to this guy named Clinton we know how to access the fourth warp level. All you need to do is get to level 19 and pick up the first diamond last.

There's a place where everyone can be happy. It's the most beautiful place in the whole f-word world. There's a place where everyone can be happy. It's the most beautiful place in the whole f-word world.
