Shockwave Assault Cheaters

Shockwave Assault Cheaters is a small companion utility aimed at players of Shockwave Assault, the Macintosh release that bundled Electronic Arts' Shockwave: Invasion Earth and Shockwave: Operation Jumpgate. Macintosh Garden's catalogue describes the parent game as offering cheesy FMV goodness in a flight-combat shoot-'em-up.

What the Parent Game Is

Shockwave Assault is a third-person flight-combat title set against full-motion-video backdrops, combining Invasion Earth and the Operation Jumpgate expansion into a single Mac package.

Purpose of the Cheaters File

Cheaters-style files in this corner of the Info-Mac and Macintosh Garden archives typically collect codes, save-game edits, or tips that let players unlock levels, weapons, or invulnerability in the underlying game.

Use Alongside the Original

The utility is only meaningful to players who already own a working copy of Shockwave Assault on their Mac, since it modifies or supplements the existing game rather than replacing it.

Preservation Context

The file is preserved here as part of the broader effort to keep Mac shareware and player-made companion utilities accessible alongside the commercial games they were written to extend.
