The following codes have NOT been confirmed, so please contact me with any info... If, however, you are looking for the passwords for all 32 maps, they can be found further down on this page.  

Play as the GUICY (AXIS)  instead of the UNION  (ALLIED) :
DOES THIS WORK?  On title screen, press and hold SELECT (be sure to keep the SELECT button pressed for the duration of this code). Highlight "1P CONTINUE" & press "I".  Enter a map name.


Watch the computer fight itself :
DOES THIS WORK?  On title screen, press and hold SELECT (be sure to keep the SELECT button pressed for the duration of this code). Highlight "2P CONTINUE" & press "I".  Enter a map name.


Sound Test :
DOES THIS WORK? Enter "ONGAKU" as a password. You will be able to listen to all the music and sound effects in the original game. Not surprisingly, "Ongaku" means "music" in Japanese.


NOTE ON CODES :  I think it is quite likely that these codes are available on the PC-98 and X68000 ports.
   

Here are the passwords for all 32 maps in Nectaris:

TRIVIA: When Nectaris was released in North America for the TG-16 under the title "Military Madness", 18 passwords were altered. For example, Map 9 changed from "GALOIS" to "GALIOS" and map 14 "APPOLO" was corrected to "APOLLO". In addition, the passwords for the entire advanced campaign (maps 17-32) were changed for the TG-16 title. I think the latter was a good idea, since it made it more difficult to advance by cheating (i.e. simply reversing the map names from the first campaign).

Needless to say, these passwords do not work with the Japanese versions of NECTARIS.  Many online resources have confounded the U.S. & Japanese map names -- don't be confused any longer!
