+All these cheats assume you're running atari800 built with debugger
+support. To get into the debugger, load the game normally, then press
+F8. After making changes in the debugger, give the "cont" command to
+get back to the game.
+
+If you're using some other emulator besides atari800, see its
+documentation for how to enter/exit its debugger, and how to change
+memory (the "c" command in atari800). Specifically, don't ask me,
+'cause I don't know :)
+
+Infinite Lives
+--------------
+Well, 200 lives, anyway. Start the game, wait until the intro music
+is done and Jumpman has finished materializing, then press F8. In the
+debugger:
+
+c 70a c8
+cont
+
+The game will still display 3 lives, until you get killed the first
+time. Then it'll display a bunch of lives with a + next to them.
+
+The "c8" can actually be up to "ff" (255), but if you ever get over 255
+lives (due to getting extra lives), it'll overflow to zero and the game
+will be over the next time you get killed!
+
+If you start running low on lives, you can use this cheat again.
+
+Warp to Level
+-------------
+To start the game on a particular level, press F8 at the "Player #1
+Speed?" prompt. In the debugger:
+
+c 6f6 3
+cont
+
+The number you enter is the level number minus two. In the example, the
+game starts on level 5 (Figurits Revenge). Remember the monitor uses hex,
+so use "a" for 10 (which will start on level 12). For level 1 you'd use
+"ff" (aka -1 in twos-complement). Entering "b" (for the nonexistant
+level 13) will take you back to the "Number of Players?" prompt. Any
+other invalid level will make the game lock up when it starts.
+
+This cheat also works during a level, but it won't take effect until
+you finish the level you're currently playing.
+
+Random Levels
+-------------
+This is like the randomizer mode in the original Jumpman. At the "Number
+of Players?" or "Player #1 Speed?" prompt, press F8, then:
+
+c 6f3 1
+cont
+
+This cheat also works during a level, but it won't take effect until
+you finish the level you're currently playing.
