Computer Entertainer's March 1987 tip of the month, revealed in a Japanese game magazine by its account, was the NES Gradius pause code: start the game and pause it at once, then press up twice, down twice, left, right, left, right, then B and A, and the ship gains air-to-surface missiles, the force field barrier and the "ghost" ships; the other boosts have to be collected. The trick can be repeated at the start of the next level.	`p. 12, Japanese Game Fanatics' Tip of the Monthp. 12, Japanese Game Fanatics' Tip of the Monthp. 12, Japanese Game Fanatics' Tip of the Monthp. 12, Japanese Game Fanatics' Tip of the Monthp. 12, Japanese Game Fanatics' Tip of the Monthp. 12, Japanese Game Fanatics' Tip of the Monthp. 12, Japanese Game Fanatics' Tip of the Month`	Magazine
