Shockwave Assault (Mac OS Classic)

Shockwave Assault is a combined port of the 3DO first-person flight shooter Shock Wave and its expansion Operation Jumpgate.

Level Select#

Create a player named playlevelXX, where "XX" is a number from 00 to 11 (in Invasion Earth) or 00 to 06 (in Operation Jumpgate), then click "Begin Mission" to play the corresponding level.2

00 in each campaign is the practice simulator. 11 in Invasion Earth and 06 in Operation Jumpgate are bonus gag levels that are normally unlocked by completing their respective campaigns.

This trick does not work in the sequel, Shockwave 2: Beyond the Gate.
