The Apprentice
Programming by Tim Moss

Game design by Luke Verhulst and Tim Moss
Music by Joost Egmond

A 1994 Vision Factory production in cooperation with
Philips Interative Media inc.

A clone of Space Invaders, referred to as "Marvinvaders" by the game's developers, can be accessed on the main menu by holding Button 2 and pressing Up/Right/Down/Left/Up/Down/Left/Right. A reskin of this game would appear in a later Vision Factory title, "Golden Oldies I".

Of note about the game's HUD is that "裸猫女" translates to "Naked Cat Woman".

On the main menu, hold Button 2 and press Up/Up/Down/Down/Right/Right/Left/Left to bring up a cheat menu that contains a level select, a life counter changer, and an invincibility toggle.

There are eight hidden Game Over animations which can be accessed through the use of cheat codes. They include a "Fatality" animation, two different "Animality" animations and five "Nudality" animations. http://cdii.blogspot.com.au/2007/10/apprentice-cd-i-hot-coffee-cheat.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">The codes were first revealed by one of the developers under the alias "cdidev", in a forum post on April 24, 2005, approximately 11 years after the game's release. These Game Over animations are obvious parodies of the "Fatality" system in the Mortal Kombat series.
