A CGA version was also released, and FormGen distributed a five level demo of the EGA version. There are 2 episodes in this game, with only the first episode playable in the shareware version.

Cheat Codes

Customer Cheat

Pressing the [B] [A] [T] keys all at once will give you 99 shots, an extra life, and all the gems. This does not work on early versions of Aliens Ate My Babysitter.

Debug Mode

Pressing [A] [2] [enter] all at once will activate debug mode. (Early versions of the game do not require this step.) Once activated, these keys will perform the following functions:

[F10] [G] God mode
[F10] [I] Free items
[F10] [J] Jump cheat (Note that you will not be able to jump down while the jump cheat is activated)
[F10] [N] No clipping (Be careful. If you fall off the bottom of the level, you'll die, even if you are in God Mode.)
[F10] [Y] View hidden areas in the level.
