This is one of the best shoot 'em up arcade game I have played so far. The game can be fully appreciated if you have a 386/HD/SB/2MB and also keen eyesight. The music is beautiful, and the graphics are absolutely amazing. I have included 3 keys in the cheat. They are listed as follows: [ Z ]--> To toggle the cheat On/Off. The default is on. If you press it once, then it will be in Off mode. You will see the screen freeze for a little bit. That's how you can tell if it's on or off. If you press Z again to toggle on, nothing will happen. This feature give you unlimited fuel, shields, time (in training) and rapid fire for your blaster. The key doesn't affect the other 3 keys. [ X ]--> You will probably press this key the most (I did). It will resupply your ship with missiles. The best use is when you have no more missiles left. Press X once, then press [W] key to see the weapon status. This one works for any ship. [ B ]--> Use to restore Wingmen's life. Best use it when you are in the training arcade game. If you use it in mission, when you are back at debriefing, you will see your Wingman with you, but you will be attending his funeral. Anyway, if you use this key, all wingmens lives will be restored. There might be something funny going on when you use this key, I pressed it once and attended a funeral for 8 wingmen!!!. [ / ]--> This is a pretty cool one. I made it because I could never defend the transporters or Tiger's Claw. So now press it, and press W to see the ship status. There are 4 ship classes, what it does is advance the ship status to the next level from the current one. Go for the Raptor, that was my favorite. *NOTE* I used these keys because I found they do nothing when pressed during the game. Because of the nature of my cheat, these keys only work when you are flying. I am trying to iron out all of my bugs, so if this cheat bombs out on you, then look for an update version later. The reason I am saying this is I found a small bug in the THEX-TU for Thexder ][. It will work properly if you have the game there, otherwise after you press a key during displaying message, it will freeze when you go back to DOS. That problem has been fixed so look for the update copied. This cheat doesn't guarantee you won't died during dog fight. I know for sure you will die if get shot up too much, slam into asteroids, or collide with ships (not for Tiger's Claw). But with the rapid fire mode, you could mush them in no time. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here's a few keys I mapped out for the game. I might have missed a few, but the following keys should help you get started. F1--> Front cockpit view. F2--> Left view. F3--> Right view. F4--> Backseat view. F5--> View ship from outside. F6--> Another view from outside. F7--> Closeup view on your Spacecraft. F8--> Toggle missile camera On/Off. F9--> Another view (try it out). P---> Pause the game. Ideal for a quick piss or get more food!!! W---> Select different weapon (like missiles type, if you have any). D---> Damage report. You won't see any on this cheat. C---> Communication. Use this to give your wingman instruction, ask permission to land, or tell the enemy to Fuck-Off and Die (or vice-versa). V---> Video image suppress/enable. N---> See map of your route and select destination to travel. M---> Message speed. T---> Select Target, a red box mean enemy. I think yellow mean friendly or transporter. L---> Use this after you press T, for lock on target so you can use missiles. A---> Autopilot. Fly from one destination to other quickly. CTRL+E---> When you cannot land or if in doubt, EJECT!!! ALT+X----> Quick exit to DOS +,- ----> Increase/Decrease ship speed. <,> ----> Rotate left, right. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here is something to get you started with. Start your mission, when your ship has left Tiger's Claw, press N to see waypoint. It usually points to Nav1. Go back to main cockpit, press A for for auto navigation. Your first wingman or should I said wingwoman is Tanaka. You will see some red dots on the radar screen. That is the enemy, the green is friendly, and usually grey means transporter. Her face will pop up on the message screen and tell you about the enemy. You can then press C for communication. Give her permission to break away and attack, or tell the enemy to take a hike. Zoom in the enemy and take them out. After that, select the next waypoint by pressing N, then A to go there. You will probably encounter an asteroid field, fly by it manually. Then once the Auto light lit up, continue with A. Complete the mission and return to Tiger's Claw. Press C and ask permission to land. Then you should cut speed and home in on the grey flat landing platform with a big blue light. Once you get close enough, it will land it for you. There are a few frustrating points in this game. Firstly, is the missile doesn't score kill all the time. Your best ship is supposed to fire some sort of laser that looks like an ice cream scoop, and it flys so slowly. Another thing is when you are on patrol, it's either by pairs or alone if your wingman died. That is not fun when you have to protect those transporter, and you wingman just died, leaving you out there alone to fight with 3-5 enemy ships. Of course in the end, the tranporter will get creamed easily. Hope your computer have at least 3MB or more. I have 2MB and when I start patrolling with a Raptor, it tells me there is no memory space left, so I have to take out the Sound Blaster music, and boy, does the animation speed up appreciably!!! Hope you enjoy this doc and cheat. Int' 90 look out for more cheats from us. -->HAL9000---> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wing Commander 1 + 2 + Secret Missions -------------------------------------- Add to the command line : Origin -k This gives you the ability to blow up ANY ship in your target-lock by pressing [Alt]-[Del].
