Soon we'll be adding downloadable material, but we're starting off with a long page full of insider tips and cheats to enhance your chances of surviving and winning your favorite game...
To receive all nine weapons, full life and proximity mines, press and hold the letters W, A,
and X all at the same time.
Note: Your score is set back to zero every time you use this code.
You can also gain access to individual cheats by typing C7 LEVEL1DIAGNOSTIC at the DOS
prompt when you begin the game. Then, during play, try these key combinations:
BackspaceG: Toggles God mode on or off.
BackspaceW:Warps between levels.
BackspaceN: Lets you walk through walls.
BackspaceR: Puts a skull image in front of your character.
BackspaceI: Increases your score.
Here's a trick for the classic game, Quest for Glory 2: Trial by Fire by Sierra On-Line. This
trick enables you to get all the money you desire. You'll lose all the money near the end of the
game, but spend all you want until them. All you do is visit the Dervish at the desert oasis.
Get some of his beard off the tree. Return to Shapier and go to the Magic Shop. Sell the Beard
to the shop keeper for money. You can repeat this as many times as you want, without getting
more beard.

Betrayal at Krondor
Here are two tricks for Betrayal at Krondor that'll let you beat the game in rapid fashion:
1. On the overhead map, hold down the ALT-Right SHIFT and ~ (the key next to the
1) for about three seconds, and a chest will appear. Each chest contains the items needed to
finish that chapter, and an option to heal all characters.
Just use the cheat trick, in conjunction with these level codes, and you can beat every
chapter:
Chapter 1: 6478
Chapter 2: 9216
Chapter 3: 7702
Chapter 4: 2132
Chapter 5: 5052
Chapter 6: 0680
Chapter 7: 0194
Chapter 8: 4743
Chapter 9: 9995
2. To strengthen yourself a bit, here's another trick. On your way to Elvandar in Chapter 6,
there's a well which, when you add Fadamor's Formula to it, can increase your characters'
strengths by three points -- permanently.
To find it, follow the main road to Elvandar. Just before the road dead-ends, you should find
the well (use spyglass of Ishap). The trick is that when you use the well with the formula, it
takes all of the formula you have with you so that you can only do the strengthen trick once.
But if you leave all but one dose in the bag in front of the well, use the well, then take
another dose from the bag, you can use the well again. Every time you repeat this process, both
Owyn's and Gorath's strength increases by three.

Tomatoes?!
There are codes that make you stronger and codes that let you walk through walls, but it's
pretty rare that a code will bring a smile to your face. This one for NovaStorm certainly falls
into that category. We first heard about it from one of our reviewer friends who'd been "surfing
the net" as the hip young cyber-folk say, and happened to find it amongst the chatter.
During the first level of NovaStorm (full version) if you type the word "tomatoes" you'll
be treated to a few new levels, enemies, bosses, sounds--and some very unusual music. We didn't
have any trouble finding someone to confirm this one, since most of us keep a copy of NovaStorm
close at hand. And we know you'll definitely tell your friends about it.
Quicken: The same as God Mode in Doom. It's the path to invinciblity.
Massacre: Kills everything on the level.
Skel: Get keys.
Rambo: Get full health armor, and weapons recharge.
Engage: Level warp. Type "engage"and then the number of the level you wish
to warp to.
Kitty: This will let you walk through walls just like idclip for Doom II--just be
sure to turn it off when yu want to pick up an item or activate a switch.
Cockadoodledoo: We're not going to say what this one does, but you'll certainly get a
laugh when you try it out.
First, you need to bring your carpet to a complete stop (or simply type the cheat at the beginning of a level), and type "i". You'll be presented with a prompt under the status bar for you to type in a message. To activate the cheats type "ratty". Now all you need to do is use the following key combinations to make you the most powerful wizard around.
Alt+F1 gives you all the spells.
Alt+F2 gives you more mana.
Alt+F6 complete healing.
Alt+F7 kills all creatures on the level.
Shift+C completes the level.
To jump from one level to another, type CARPET at the prompt followed by the level number
(1-50), and you're off!
If you've been clanking around in some low-budget herc in Sierra's Metaltech: Battledrome,
looking for some way to get a juicy upgrade to that top-of-the line model, then this cheat is
for you!
When you type in your name at the main screen, simply add an asterisk (*) as the first
letter of your name.
You'll find that you have all the money you need to buy the best equipment for your battles in
the arena.
Rebel Assault Cheat
After the animated LucasArts logo, move your joystick UP and press FIRE, move the joystick DOWN
and press FIRE, then move the joystick LEFT and press FIRE, then move the joystick RIGHT and
press FIRE. You'll hear a telephone ringing and a voice answering "LucasArts", which lets you
know that the cheat mode is active.
Here's where the fun begins, because you'll be able to jump to any chapter in the game without
having to write down all those silly codes!
To go anywhere in the game, type the number of the chapter you want to play. The chapters are
number 1-9 for chapters 1-9, and A-F for chapters 10-15. Also by pressing the "+" key on the
numeric keypad, you'll reset your damage to zero, and pressing "ESC" will let you move to the
next cutscreen.
Hope these cheats help Rebels everywhere!

I recently came across a great invincibility cheat for the classic Wing Commander and Wing
Commander II games that may give those folks who didn't finish them the first time around an
excuse to give these games another try.
When you type in the startup command for either game (WC or WC2) add a space then
type "Origin -k" Make sure you use a captial `O' or the cheat won't work. You'll be able
to fly against wave after wave of Kilrathi without taking damage, and destroy any targeted ship
(including the big capital ships!) at will by pressing CTRL and DEL at the same time.
And while this cheat sometimes make the game a bit unstable, I think you'll find the chance to
blow up cat-central with the press of a button is well worth any minor glitches.
