There are 17 levels in the game, including the bonus level, Return to
Peru. (You can find this list if you scroll far enough the huge data
file on the game's CD. You can purchase that Secret Map worth
2500 to get there. But once done in the middle of the game you will
have to finish the Peru level first before you will be able to return to
the natural level sequence.

Download a trainer here: Trainer
To use cheat type F10 and enter the code (submitted by RMS Jr):
TAKLIT_MARION - on/off toggles invulnerability
URGON_ELSE - all weapons
AZERIN_SOPHIA - all health items
NUB_WILLIE - displays free hints
Note: None of these codes work with me - they may not work with you as well.
4) Known BUGS:
- Raft bug (Level 3)
Several times I couldn't use the boat in the desired location (an
elevator near waterfalls, the beginning of the river). Although I was
standing as close to the water as possible it didn't work. The only
thing that helped was restarting the game.
- Stuck between the boxes bug (Level 4)
In the guard tower on the USSR border I got stuck between a
couple of small boxes when I tried to push them.
- Stuck into stairs bug (Level 4)
I got stuck inside the stairs in the bell tower on my way up to the
topmost level.
- Some people reported that the game sometimes does not start correctly the
4th level.
- Something happened with my jeep while driving in the maze. It suddenly
disappeared - only it's shadow was visible on the ground. I could still drive
that shadow. Everything reappeared after I left the jeep. (Level 8)
- You can't run over some gunmen in the maze (for example in the central spot).
The jeep passes through them like they don't even exist. The only way to get
rid of them is to leave the jeep and kill them with your gun. (Level 8)
5) Controls Issues
For complete list of the control keys refer to help - 3 printable
pages. I just would like to mention that everything in the game
reminds Tomb Raider a lot, except:
- when you grab/climb/shimmy a staircase/wall etc. you don't need
to hold down the Ctrl key as you had to do in TR.
- And when you climb something up, or get on top of something
you need just to push Alt key, not a combination of Alt-UpArrow
like it was in TR.
- When you want to pull/push a block you need to hold down Ctrl
and wait for a while and then press Up or Down - or the game will
not treat the key sequence the way you wanted.
- You've got a whip - a powerful tool for climbing/crossing gaps
and not only for that. Oh, I just love that! To jump off your whip
press Alt.
- Dive under the water пїЅ press C, climb out of the water пїЅ press
Alt.
- Map usage: map is very clumsy, but sometimes useful. It shows
different slices of a level in different colors. Blue color - means
UNDER current slice level. Red color - means ABOVE the
current level, YELLOW color - means CURRENT level. If the
color is not pure yellow, but a bit darker hue пїЅ it means
SLIGHTLY ABOVE the current level. Same goes for all other
dark colors. You can set an option to display hints on the map пїЅ
"X" signs will blink somewhere on the map, showing the next
key/button/passage you should take. Each "X" is also marked with
a color пїЅ you can see to which slice of the level it belongs пїЅ very
useful in multi-storey buildings.
6) Did you know that phrases of patrolling Russian soldiers in
English mean the following:
-Hey, you!
-You, again!
-Halt! Come back here!
-What a pretty leather jacket! (When Indy gets killed).
-Capitalistic Fool! (some soldiers pronounce it like "Capitalitic" пїЅ
very funny)
In Russian it sounds very funny пїЅ with a huge accent.
"CCCP" stands for USSR or Union of Soviet Socialist Republics
"Fragile, Handle with care" пїЅ it is written on every wooden box.
red "LFI" on some boxes means "Leningrad Physics University".
