The IBM Game Player's Guide to Cheats For: Black Thorne, Corridor 7,Descent, Doom, Doom II, Heretic, Minesweeper, Rise of the Triad, and Sim City 2000 Version 1.2 Written by Alan Stern Note by the Author: This is my first attempt at a guide for game players like myself who get frustrated when they have to download pages and pages of documents to get just the cheat codes. Let me just go on the record (and calm down some of you) by saying that you should try the game first before resorting to cheats. There, happy? Now, I myself am an avid player of IBM games. I have at least a demo version of all of the above. If you want me to add something to this guide, comment on it, trade games, or just talk about anything (especially PC Games) you can write me on AOL at "Alan Stern." So, have fun and happy gaming! C-ya online. Note: A special thanks to Hank Leukart, author of the Doom FAQ, for allowing me to cut and paste the developing parameters from his file. If anyone out there wants a complete, comprehensive guide to Doom I+II, download his FAQ, V6.66. Each of these games is copywrited by their respective authors. No claim is made by the author concerning the varying effects of the cheats. "I just write 'em, I don't make 'em." Cheats Black Thorne: The following are the level codes for Black Thorne, in order: ST5Z STRT DBQ7 FBWC WJTV RRYB ZS9P XJSN CGDM BMHS Y4DJ HCKD NRLF J6BZ MJXG K3CH Corridor 7: 1) Press and hold W, A, and X to receive nine weapons, full life, proximity mines, and a score of 0. 2) When you start the game type C7 PRESIDENT to randomize the levels. 3) When you start the game type C7 LEVEL1DIAGNOSTIC to enable the following cheats: [Backspace] G - God mode on/off [Backspace] W - Warp [Backspace] N - Walk through walls [Backspace] R - Puts a skull image in front of your character [Backspace] I - Increases your score Descent: GABBAGABBAHEY - Cheats enabled SCOURGE - Weapons Galore MITZI - All Keys RACERX - Invunerability on/off GUILE - Cloak on/off TWILIGHT - Shields Recharged FARMERJOE - Warp Map Features: S - (Normal) - Pan the map Alt-F - (Cheat) - View entire map Doom I + II: NOTE: B = Both I+II I = Doom (I) II = Doom II iddqd -B- God Mode idkfa -B- Happy Ammo - full ammo, 200% armor, all weapons+keys idclev # # -B- Warp (Episode#) (Level#) iddt -B- Toggle Automap - normal, full, full with objects idspispopd -I- No Clipping - Walk through walls idbehold * -II- (* = R, I, V, A, L, or S) R - Radiation Suit I - Partial Invisibility V - Invunerability A - Full Automap L - Light Amplification Visor S - Berserk idmypos - Displays position in hex Command Line Parameters: To use most of these parameters, start DOOM by typing: "doom -devparm ". If the "-devparm" parameter is not needed, the parameter will be marked with a plus (+). Most of these parameters can be mixed and matched to create different effects. For instance, typing "doom -devparm -wart 1 8 -record demo01 -respawn" would record a demo on episode one, level eight, with monster respawn. Lastly, typing F1 during development mode will allow a 256 color screen capture in PCX format. @ Used to read in a command line parm file -altdeath Activates DeathMatch v2.0 (v1.4 and above) -avg Ends the game after 20 minutes -cdrom Uses C:\DOOMDATA directory for data -comdev Internal development, texture mapping -config + Reads an alternate configuration file -control Unknown -deathmatch + Starts NetDoom in Deathmatch mode -debugfile Dumps debugging info to debug.txt -devparm Puts you in developers mode -episode + Starts on episode (1-3) -GUS Uses the original GUS instrument mapping -GUS1 Uses the new GUS instrument mapping (default) -fast +++ Nightmare mode without respawn -file + Allows usage of an external PWAD file -left ++ Sets up a network terminal for the "left view" -loadgame + Starts from a saved game (0-5) -maxdemo + Specifies the maximum size of a LMP recording -nodes + Starts NetDoom with 1-4 players -noblit Internal bugging switch, useless -nodraw Internal bugging switch, useless -nojoy Does not use the joystick -nomonsters + Starts the game without monsters -nomouse Does not use the mouse -nomusic Does not play background music -nosfx No sound effects -nosound No sound at all -opl3 Enables the stereo music through OPL-3 on PAS16 -phase Enables phase shifting on PAS16 -playdemo #+ Plays back a recorded demo -record + Makes a demo recording until you finish or die -recordfrom <0-5> + Records a demo from a saved game -regdev Internal development, texture mapping -respawn + Causes enemies to respawn in non- Nightmare -right ++ Sets up a network terminal for "right view" -shdev Internal development, texture mapping -skill + Starts on skill level (1-5) -statcopy Unknown -timedemo # Calculates the number of times the screen is redrawn when playing a demo -turbo Increases the speed of the marine -warp Warps to episode (1-3) level (1-9) -wart Loads a PWAD named ExMy.wad +: Does not require the "-DEVPARM" parameter. ++: If you have a network, try setting up a network game with three players. The three terminals should have the parameters: "doom -devparm -nodes 3 -left" "doom -devparm -nodes 3" "doom -devparm -nodes 3 -right" Then, set up the left and right terminal monitors next to the middle monitor, in a virtual-reality type configuration. When you turn your head, you see the screen turned 90 degrees! This ONLY works with versions 1.0, 1.1, 1.4, 1.5, and 1.6 of DOOM. +++: Must be used in conjunction with the "-WARP" parameter #: For the "-playdemo" and "-timedemo" options, if you give an LMP file name of "demo#" (i.e. "demo3"), then that internal demo will be played if the external LMP file is not found. For example, to play the internal 1.6 shareware demo #2 (multiplayer demo), type "doom -playdemo demo2". Additionally, when using "-timedemo," the game will give you two numbers after you quit to DOS, GAMETICS and REALTICS. To determine the DOOM frame rate use the formula (GAMETICS/REALTICS) * 35. Note: DO NOT name your LMP demos ExMx.LMP, or they will *NOT* work.

HECK - something interesting will happen... DARN - DAMn - VERS - displays the version of SC2000 you are using MEMY - runs a memory check TEST - find out what version you have and more PORN - special message from the programmers spoken Extras: Click on a helicopter and it will go down in flames. Bulldoze enough trees and ignore the citizens' complaints and you'll get a message that you're destroying the habitat of the Bull Moose. You'll also hear the moose roar. Overlap Buildings: 1) Select the Landscape tree tool. 2) Click the tool on the map and hold down the mouse button. 3) While holding down the mouse button and the shift key move over any, building, zone, or other object to erase part of it. Don't do this with power plants because the produce less power this way. In addition, if you build another zone or building where the old one used to be (before yo erased it), you wil still get credit for both of them even though only one will be shown in the space where both of them "are." NOTE: Not all of these cheats will work with version 1.1 or higher (but try 'em anyway.)
