  2. Special Moves

    Some of them are not revealed in the instruction manual, here are the codes to enter. It is a set of directional codes that you enter with the stick or the pad (I prefer the stick)

    Afterburner
    Use this to give you a boost of speed. You must have Interceptor missiles to use this. It takes 2 missiles everytime you use it. Enter Up,Up,Up, then fire the Machine Gun. (Z at default)

    Halo
    Use this as a decoy to ward off guided shots, like other Interceptor Missiles. This also takes 2 missiles to use, and you enter Up,Up,Down then fire the machine gun. (Z)

    Stampede
    This uses Bullseye rockets, this move fires 5 of them in quick succession, Enter Up, Down, Up, then fire the machine gun

    Roadrunner
    This uses 2 Bullseye rockets, and if you hit a car with it, it will attach itself to it and cause the car to lose control, if not, it will hit a structure or object and can destroy them too. Enter Up,Down,Down, Fire Machine Gun.

    Cow Puncher
    Uses 2 Bruiser Cannon shots, can send a car flying if it connects, enter Down,Up,Down, Fire machine gun

    Buckshot
    Belches 6 Bruiser Cannon shots at once, great at close range, enter Down,Up,Up, Fire Machine Gun

    Turtle Turnover
    Uses 2 Skyhammer Mortar shots, sends a green projectile that can turn a car completely upside down, good on stalled or still targets, bad on moving ones, enter
    Down,Down,Down    , Fire Machine gun

    Crater Maker
    Uses 2-5 Sky hammer shots, 5 if you have 5 or more, and 4 or less if you have less than 5, enter Down,Down,Up, Fire Machine Gun Can make a huge crater when it impacts. The crater will fill back up slowly.

    Gravitational Mine
    Uses 2 Mines, enter Left,Right,Down, Fire Machine Gun.Anyone that gets near it will be pulled in, and not likely to get out. The afterburner may get you out if you are pulled in. It lasts for about 5 seconds before the mine disappears.

    Cactus Patch
    Uses 6 Mines, lays a red flashing mine that will split when someone gets near it. It will lay the 6 mines in a group that can cause heavy damage if you drive over it. It is just 6 neatly placed mines. Great against tailgaters. Enter Left,Right,Up,then fire the machine gun to activate

    After you enter the directional codes, you then must fire the machine gun (Z at default)

Vigilante 8 Cheats For PlayStation

  1. Custom Soundtrack

    The PlayStation version of the game stores the soundtrack as CD Audio files. You can abuse this feature to load your own soundtrack from any CD.

    As soon as you load into a level, pause the game. Open the CD tray, then insert any audio CD you want to use. Close the tray, and the game will load the CD tracks as the game's soundtrack. You can even use the song skip feature to skip to any track you want.

    Note that as you finish the level, the game will fail loading the next area until you re-insert the game disc. But you can do this trick again after the next level has loaded.
