Game: Ganbare Goeman 5
Console: Nintendo 64

Cheat:

Unlimited items or gold

Find a location that contains multiple items or gold, such as the first room in Oedo Castle. Collect the items, leave the room, then re-enter. The items will be available for recollection.

Boss mode

Collect all forty-five Fortune Dolls to unlock a boss mode selection on the options screen.

Bonus picture

Enable the "Boss mode" code, and complete the Boss sequence.

Control Impact

Press the Analog-stick when Impact's introduction sequence ends to move his head.

Rumble Pak bonus

Although not an official Rumble Pak game, the Boss levels will support that peripheral.

Hint: Slower falls

Rapidly execute the Ice Attack or Coin toss while falling.

Hint: Avoid attacks

Change characters just before an opponent attacks.

Hint: Quick fall recovery

Perform an attack exactly when hitting the ground after falling from a large height. This will allow Goeman to move immediately, instead of being stunned.

Hint: Avoid bullets

Push C-Down to have bullets pass through your character.

Hint: Fighting Benkei

Fight Benkei as Ebisumaru to throw the Achilles' Heel at him faster. During the battle, Benkei will threaten to blast you far away. This is a lie; he will knock you into the river next to the bridge where he is standing. There is a ladder available to return to your previous location.

Glitch: Small Goemon

If Goeman uses a transporter while small, it will leave without him.

Description:
Gunman Chronicles is quite an achievement when you consider it was a grass-roots add-on created by a talented group of Half-Life fans. Unfortunately, we aren't used to paying for such user-created mods, and this game just doesn't have the legs or production values to warrant a full retail release.

The game's "Wild West in deep space" tone is established in the opening cinematic, which shows a rescue mission on a hostile planet gone awry. Five years later you must return to the scene of the disaster and use your skills as the last of the vaunted Gunmen to save the galaxy from aliens, mutants, and maybe even your brothers-in-arms.

The graphics aren't bad, and the character models look terrific, but their quality is offset by the game's mediocre audio. The gameplay rarely rises above average. There are numerous scripted events that sometimes add to the game's tension but more often seem gratuitous. Events meant to surprise--like an enemy popping out of the darkness behind you--are usually more annoying than scary, especially when they result in a cheap hit. Your foes aren't smart at all and rely on blind rushes as their chief tactic. It is a lot of fun managing your arsenal, however, as each weapon offers many customization options. See something particularly scary up ahead? Duck behind some cover and tweak your shotgun so it shoots eight shells at once instead of two. It adds a little more depth to an otherwise derivative game, and Half-Life fans looking for something similar to that title's decidedly better single-player action should certainly give Gunman Chronicles a go. --T.

Pros:

Customizable weapons are fun to mess with
The many scripted events make the game surprisingly cinematic
The game is much more impressive when you consider it wasn't created by professionals

Cons:

Configurable guns and drivable vehicles don't add as much to the gameplay as promised
Although the production values are great for a fan-created add-on, they are relatively low for a full retail release
