                         ASCII documentation and readme

 Section 1: What is this thing?
--

Well... this is a compilation of many cheat codes, hacks, and the like,
arranged by game.  I've tried to limit the games I include in the list to
ones that I have tested myself (to be sure that they work!).  The games are
limited to DOS and Windows games, but some codes might work in versions
ported for OS/2, Win95, Macs, etc.

 Section 1.1: Okay, how do I use it?
--

I wanted to format this list in such a way so that each game had a seperate
page.  That way, you only have to print the page of the game you want.  I also
wanted it to look neat.  So... it's in Microsoft Word 6.0 (for Windows)
format.  Most people, I have found, can read this format in some way or
another.

!! NOTE !!  There is no longer an RTF version available, since it added too
much bulk to the archive!  If you really want it, mail me!

Due to popular request, there is now an ASCII text version of the document
(CHEATER.ASC).  Unfortunately, it does *not* print out very well, and it is
harder to do searches (due to lack of bookmarks).  If it is at all possible,
use the DOC version!  Also, the codes in the ASCII version are not
arranged in pages, so be warned...

!! NOTE !!  There is now an HTML version available from:
http://www.mnsinc.com/zoogie/chc4ch.html
This page will always have the latest updates!

Once you've printed out the code page you want, you're set.  The instructions
for using the codes should (I hope) be printed on each page.  If you print
out many pages, may I humbly suggest a three-ring binder?  For games that are
spread out on multiple pages, printing on both sides seems to work the best.

!! NOTE !!  The Microsoft Windows 95 QuickView utility will *not* read the
RTF version correctly!


1
 Section 1.2: Finding the Section you Want.
--

There is a table of contents in both the RTF and Word versions, so you can
scan the listing to find the appropriate page.  The table of contents lists
the game name as well as the company that produced it.

In the ASCII version, the table of contents lists the games by number, not
page.

If you use the Word version, you can obtain an alphabetical listing by using
the Bookmark function.  Go to the Edit menu and select Bookmark.  Select the
game from the list and press Go To.

The HTML version has links in the table of contents.

Note that some games are spread out among a number of pages due to large
numbers of codes.  They are only listed once in both the table of contents
and the Bookmark list.

 Section 3: Help!  The codes don't work!
--

This is the most common problem (*sigh*).  With this revision, I've included
the version numbers of the games I've tried it on.  Check to see if your
version number is different.  It's not?  Okay... in *that* case, I'm kinda
clueless.  Send me an E-Mail describing the problem.  I'll check it out.

!! NOTE !!  Do *not* send E-Mail to the people listed in the
"acknowledgements" section.  I will review the problem and forward the
question if necessary.

 Section 4: The legal stuff.
--

Right.  Let's get down to it.  This is only a compilation of codes taken from
multiple sources.  I've included the acknowledgments on almost each page.  If
you think I got the codes from you, and don't like it, then tell me and I'll
gladly find another source.  Next on the list... all trademarks are the
property of their respective owners, okay?  If you don't like this thingy,
please deal with it.  I am not responsible for any damage caused by the use
of the information provided in this document.  If you really don't like this
thingy, then I am not responsible if you decide the best way to deal with it
is by influencing it with a large hammer, mallet, stone, plastic chew toy,
etc.  This document is copyright (C) 1996-97 Michael Imamura.  That is, do
whatever you feel like doing with it *EXCEPT*: using it to make money
without my special written permission; blatently copying the format without
my written permission; including it as part of a CD-ROM collection without my
written... (hmmm...) consent.  I think that should do it.  Happy?

 Section 5: Please spread this!
--

It would be a wonderful thing for me to see this on a BBS besides one I've
uploaded it to.

The latest version can be found on the following BBSs:
  << CRYSTAL AERIE >>       (703) 415-0134      Crystal City, VA
  No-Name BBS               (703) 323-6838

For people with internet access, the latest version can be found on the
following sites:
  Zoogie's Home             http://www.mnsinc.com/zoogie/

If you would like to distribute this list, E-Mail me so that I can add your
site to this list.  Also, please check out the SYSOPS!.TXT file for important
information on FREE advertising ;)

 Section 6: Contacting the author.
--

I'd love to get some feedback on this collection!  Do you love it?  Hate it?
Also, how can it improved?  Keep sending in good codes!

Want codes for a certain game?  I'll try and find imformation on it.

Lessee... I can be reached by E-Mail at:
   Zoogie@mnsinc.com    (preferred)
   Zoogie@f1111.n109.z1.fidonet.org

I'll try to respond to all mails.  That may take several weeks (months?
years?).

Don't send snail mail, since I never respond to it anyway.

 Section 7: A few acknowledgements!
--

Although most of the code sheets have an 'acknowledgements' section, I'd like
to take this opportunity to personally thank some people.

Thanks to the great people on the RIME / Games conference, I know what the
latest games are and what to do about it.

My friends, who know more than a few dirty, under-handed tricks to use in
games.

Kyle Fleit, who has single-handedly provided more codes than I can imagine.

The nice people on Crystal Aerie.  Couldn't produce this DOC without them.

And, of course, programmers everywhere for letting us in on your little
secrets.  As a programmer of a few games myself, I know the importance of
cheat codes for debugging purposes.  Keep making games, and leaving in codes!

 Section 8: A word about "cheating".
--

These codes are provided for your own benefit.  Note that I do not outright
condone or promote "cheating" in games.  However, I have found that using
some "cheat" codes can actually enhance the gaming experience by encouraging
creativity, exploration, and (of course) typing skills.  However, please do
not get "addicted" to cheat codes.  Yes, believe it or not, extra challenge
can actually be more fun!  Yet... I do believe some games are over-challenged
to the point where cheat codes are the only thing that will save the game from
extinction.  I won't name any games in particular.  You probably know what I
mean.
