The Apogee FAQ

[6.1.1] Complete cheat list


This section contains a variety of cheats from various Apogee games.
Actually, in the words of Joe Siegler, it's "the first comprehensive
cheat [list] ever published for all Apogee titles."  This same information
is also available on Apogee's web site, at http://www.3drealms.com/cheat/.

Note that while the customer cheat keys are officially supported by Apogee,
the debug keys are not.  If you use the debug keys, Apogee cannot provide
any support, since this alters game performance to a state where their
standard support comments and issues might not apply.  In short, neither
Apogee or I can be held responsible for damage caused by usage of the debug
keys.  (Though, as a word of reassurance, I have never heard of such a thing
happening, save where expressly noted below.)


      

From Apogee:

Stargunner

+ Cheat Codes - To type in a cheat code, press the PAUSE key and type the desired code below one letter at a time.

The parameter is "QUEST:ExLyDz", where x is a number from 1-3 and signifies the episode number, y is from 1-9 and signifies the level number, and z is from 1-5 and signifies the difficulty level. If the "Ex" is missing, the episode number defaults to 1; if the "Ly" is missing, the level number defaults to 1; and if the "Dz" is missing, the difficulty level defaults to 3. + Debug Codes - Warning: use of any of the following codes may cause the system to crash -- use at your own risk! - To enter "examine level" mode, hold [capslock] [d] [x] down simultaneously. - For each code given below, press [backspace], then type the word in, letter by letter.

+ Cheat Codes - The backspace key will restore all your energy and give you a death ray, at the cost of all your money. This will only work in the registered version. + Debug Mode - Set the environment variable "S_HOST" to the value "CASTLE" at the DOS prompt by typing "SET S_HOST=CASTLE" (it must be in caps). Then, when you play Raptor, you become completely invincible, and have all the weapons at your disposal. In addition, you can skip levels by starting them, hitting [esc], followed by [n]; you'll be returned to the hangar, and when you exit again, you'll be on the next level. While in debug mode, you can make use of a level warp. From the level selection screen (Bravo Sector, etc), type a two character combination, one key at a time, that specifies which level you wish to jump to. The first character may be either 'Z' (for episode one), 'X' (for episode two), or 'Y' (for episode three). The second character specifies the level number and must be a key between 'Q' and 'O' on the keyboard, where 'Q' means level 1 and 'O' means level 9. This debug mode, including the level warp, works in both the shareware and registered versions of the game. However, if you try to warp to an episode 2 or 3 level in the shareware version, the game will crash. + Misc Command Line Parameters - "rec" followed by a filename will record your game. "play" followed by the filename of a recorded game will play it back.

Blake Stone: Aliens of Gold and Planet Strike

+ Cheat Codes - [J] [A] [M] [Enter] - These keys are to be pressed one at a time. When all are pressed, the message "Now you're Jammin'" appears, and you will be given all keys and 100% health, but your score will be zeroed out. This will only work on the registered version of the game. + Cheat Command Line Parameters - The following command line parameters can be used in both the shareware and registered versions of the game: POWERBALL - Enables debug keys. This also requires that you hold down the left and right shift keys during the JAM Logo intro. Don't hold them down until the white letters start to appear. Once the PC-13 screen is loaded, you can let go. You will hear a "ching" sound during the intro when debug mode has been successfully enabled. The "ching" sound will only happen if you have a sound card. If you have a PC speaker, you won't hear this. TICS - Display TIC INFO in score area. MUSIC - Enable music test mode: [backspace] [arrows] changes music. RADAR - Displays a rotating overhead view during gameplay. Please note that this REALLY slows the game down, to the point of being unplayable.

These cheat keys can be used during gameplay: [6] [7] - Collect all bonus items (gold, ammo, health, etc). [7] [8] - Kill all actors. [6] [8] - Collect all bonus items and kill all actors. + Tech Support Command Line Parameters - These aren't really debug codes, or cheats, either.

HIDDENCARD - Disable checking for video card. NOJOYS - Disable checking for joysticks. NOMOUSE - Disable checking for mouse. NOMAIN - Disable checking for main memory.

+ Customer Cheat - For the registered version only, the following two codes can be used during gameplay. Please note that all three letters have to be pressed at the same time. [E] [A] [T] - health is restored to maximum, but score is reset to zero [N] [U] [K] - get a random weapon, plus all inventory required to finish the current level

Alien Carnage

+ Customer Cheat - Pressing [B] [I] [G] all at the same time will give you full health and jetpack power. + Debug Mode - The following debug keys work for version 1.1 of Halloween Harry only: [ctrl] [R] [E] [N] - Gives you all weapons, and activates god mode for several seconds.

This can not be used in the shareware version to access levels in the registered version. [alt] [=] - Change location within a level. Type coordinates after this code; illegal input will probably crash the game. + Tech Parameters - Pressing these four keys at the same time will show you the coordinates you are at on the level. This serves no real function on its own, but it is used by Apogee's Game Hint Line sometimes to locate a player in a level. The keys are [ctrl] [alt] [rshift] [F12] + Misc Command Line Parameters - "skip" will start the game directly from the main menu.

Wolfenstein 3D / Spear of Destiny

[tab] [B] - Change border color [tab] [M] - Memory map [tab] [N] - No clipping (walk through walls) (This works only in Wolf3D v1.0 shareware. This mode can cause really bad things to happen to the game, including corrupting itself, which is why it was taken out.) + Jukebox - Hold down [M] when the game is starting to access a jukebox. It only brings up a few songs at a time; keep on doing this, and you'll get a randomly selected list of songs each time. + Spear of Destiny only - To get a Gang Screen, choose the window resize option, change the window size, press enter to confirm, then immediately hold down the [I] and [D] keys together. - If you do nothing in the game for 30 seconds, BJ will either cross his eyes or stick his tongue out at you. It happens quickly, so you have to watch carefully. You can repeat this as many times as you like. - God mode is accessible in Spear without the use of the -debugmode command line parameter. Simply hold [tab] [G] [F10] down together to toggle it. + Tech Support Command Line Parameters are the same as in Blake Stone, except VERSION, SYSTEM, and ENABLEGP do nothing in Wolf3D. + Misc Command Line Parameters - "NOWAIT" will start the game directly from the main menu. + Note: If you press [B] [A] [T] all at once, you'll get a message asking why you're trying to cheat, since this is the old Keen Galaxy cheat code.

Monster Bash

+ Cheat Codes - In the registered version only, you can press the [Z] and [F10] keys down simultaneously to receive five lives. Hold down [Z] first; since the [F10] key, by itself, has meaning in the game, the cheat won't work if you push both down at the same time and the [F10] is the first to register.

Commander Keen: Goodbye Galaxy and Aliens Ate My Babysitter

[F10] [T] - Sprite test. [F10] [V] - Add 0-8 VBLs. (Vertical Blanking Signal -- this will do nothing for most users) [F10] [W] - Warp to any level. [F10] [Y] - Reveal hidden areas.

[G] [O] [W] - Advance to the next level.

Major Stryker

+ Customer Cheat - The cheats here are a bit more complicated than in other games. There is a two step procedure to active the cheat mode. (This cheat mode only works in the registered version. It does nothing in the shareware version.) Step 1 - Type [C] [H] [E] [A] [T] at the Main Title Screen. All keys need to be pressed one at a time. When you get it, you'll see the message that says "Cheat Active" (it really isn't yet). Step 2 - During the game, hold down the [backspace] key, and then press the [H] & [S] keys at the same time. When you are successful, you'll see a message that says "Cheat Mode On" (it is now).
