The Misadventures of Flink is a platformer for the Amiga CD32, Genesis, and Sega CD with impressive graphics and a sort of slow-paced Sonic style of play. The lesser-known spiritual predecessor to The Adventures of Lomax on PlayStation.
Free-Movement Mode#
Start the game with the longword at $2E3CA set to zero (in Gens/GS, you can use the patch code 2E3CA:00000000). The game will drop you off on one of the levels, and pressing C enables a free-movement mode akin to the debug mode in Sonic games, turning Flink into an angel to represent this mode. While in free movement mode, pressing the D-Pad causes Flink to start moving in a direction, not stopping unless you press either A or B.
The longer you hold a D-Pad button, the faster Flink moves. Pressing Start brings up the Cheat Menu found below. Press C to go back into normal mode, but be warned: if you do this while out of bounds, the game will register this as losing a life.

Cheat Menu#
Both the Genesis and Sega CD versions of the game feature the same push-button code which, when entered while paused during gameplay, enables a cheat menu with some simple debugging features:
- First, hold Down + Start for four seconds.
- Release Down, but keep holding Start, and then press Right, Right, Right, Right, Left, Left, Left, Left, Right, Right, Right, Left, Left, Left, Right, Right, Left, Left, Right, Left.
It needs to be entered quite slowly, though. If successful, a small "CHEAT MENU" option will appear at the bottom of the pause menu. Inside the cheat menu is some debug info and an option to reset the level with full magic, all scrolls, all spells and a full inventory. This will also enable the "Leave Level" option in the main menu, allowing you to skip levels.
