In this video I show how you can use the 'unlimited Penetrator cheat/bug'.
If you activate the Penetrator Mask just before going through the door that leads to the Alpha Site, and keep holding the Fire button, you'll be able to use the Penetrator all the way to the end of the game!
Probably this is caused by the Penetrator Mask being disabled/removed upon entering the Alpha Site, thus also removing the counter.
This trick should come in handy if someone feels like doing a proper speedrun!

M.A.S.K. III - Venom Strikes Back was the second official M.A.S.K. game released in 1988 for the MSX. Its predecessor, M.A.S.K. II, was released a year earlier. MASK I unfortunately was only released for ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64 and Amstrad CPC.

In this game you control Matt Trakker on his exploration of the moon, while looking for his brother Scott Trakker, who has been held captive by VENOM.
