The Code Archive
This is aiming to be a complete archive of available codes and walkthroughs for NES games. Sure, I don't have any walktrhoughs yet. Sure, all of these codes were taken from TSR's NES Archive, which I highly reccomend you visit, if you haven't already.
Keep in mind that this is just the beginning. If you have any codes or walkthroughs to submit to me, send them to me! If you do, I will ordain you a Nintendo saint.

how would you like to --- MAKE YOUR OWN CODES?!?
the password basically works like this:
the first four digits determine the stage and the strength of your plane, and
the fifth digit is the checksum.
digit 1 does the stage you're on,
digit 2 does your total offense and defense (from 1 to 6),
digit 3 does both the energy level of the plane and the power of your special
weapon (from 1 to 6),
digit 4 does the time limit of your special weapon (1 to 6).
follow the tables below to get these letters set up.
now, let's calculate digit 5. add the numbers you gave for offensive power,
defensive power, energy level, special weapon strength and special weapon
time limit. now look at the table for digit 5 below. if the stage number you
chose is less than the minimum stage number on the key, then the code won't
work. if the stage number you want is equal to or greater than the stage
number on the key, use the code digit below it on the key to complete the
code.
as an example, let's say we want everything possible.
we want to start at the last stage, so our first digit will be T.
we want maximum offense/defense, so we'll set digit 2 to Y (offense is 6, and
defense is 6).
we'd like maximum special weapon/energy and plane energy, but let's just set
weapon energy to 5 for this (as you can see from the table, the maximum total
number of points we can have is 29, so we can't max out everything.) so, our
3rd digit is 1.
we'd like a biiig time limit, so digit 4 will be 9.
now for the checksum. 6 plus 6 plus 5 plus 6 plus 6 equals 29, and the stage
we've chosen is high enough for that, so we'll use U for digit 5.
this gives us TY19U. :)

8 Eyes
"Even if you manage to survive a level, the chances are that you won't have
figured out the right order to play the seven levels (hmm, seven factorial
is, uh, 5040 combinations) so that you won's prevail against the boss. Thus,
8 Eyes is made artificially hard by such factors; I suspect that for most
players, the game will soon end up collecting dust on the shelf." -vg&ce,
april 1990, 6/10
Q: All right, so what's the right order?
A: Spain, Egypt, Italy, India, Africa, Germany, and Arabia.
Q: OK, so how do I place the jewels at the end of the game?
A: In order: yellow, white, green, orange, blue, purple, red and black.
