Passwords

Apart from the level passwords and the infinite ammo password, there are a few lesser known passwords:

• RCSDN3: View the game's credits.
• MKWFLL: Invincibility.
• M1CHGN: Infinite lives.

The latter two differ from other passwords in that, in order for them to be accepted by the game, the five level passwords and the infinite ammo password (M1R0G3, BMBRMN, 65C816, B1GBND, FSPRNG, YHWX11) must all be entered first (the order doesn't matter, as long as all six are entered.)

Hidden Message

In addition to the three above passwords, entering R1CHRD at the password screen will display the message "TL-B-U-R-A-X @ TIBURON SCREEN" (the password likely refers to programmer Richard J. Wifall).

Accordingly, after pressing L, B, Up, Right, A, X at the Tiburon screen, a voice will say "Gotcha!" and an upside-down "OK" hand gesture will appear at the bottom of the screen. This is likely referencing the circle game prank.
