Once again the C.P.U.  brings you some hastily stollen roughly written
and  untested cheats for that game you have been having trouble  with.
The ultimate cheat,  if you find a game you cannot  complete,  consign
the disk to a burning grave.   Take it outside, get that stuff that is
now more expensive then gold,  petrol that is,  pour over the disk and
throw a lit match on it.  What a load of bull, let's get to the cheats
before I throw up over my keyboard.


                                ELITE

Load  the game as normal,  but when the game asks for a word from  the
manual type in SARA and continue.  At any point in the game hit * from
the  numeric keypad and you're presented with 'Hacker v1' you can  now
type in any of the following codes.
Old       New       Result
33        35        Cloaking device
30        31        ECM jammer
20        21        Escape capsule
28        30        Galactic hyperspace
23        25        Energy bomb
25        30        Energy unit
26        30        ECM system
17        30        Large cargo bay
1F        30        Fuel scoop
2F        30        Retro rockets
13        4E        7.6 light years fuel
15        17        17 missiles
71        80        Sell this for cash


                           SPACE QUEST III

After  exiting  your ship,  walk south then east past Jupiter  II  and
stand in front of the lift.   Go up in the lift which dumps you onto a
conveyor  belt.   To stop being minced stand up and jump to  grab  the
overhead  beam.   Walk three screens to the left until you come  to  a
machine  hanging  from a beam,  this is the  grabber.   Climb  in  and
continue to go right round to the far side of the screen and  position
yourself  on  the right hand side.   Press the grabber button  and  it
should pick the warp motivator from the first screen.   Go right three
times  until  you're  at the end of the rails and  press  the  grabber
button again,  thereby lowering the motivator into a  spaceship.   Now
move  back t where you found the grabber and stop it above  the  small
platform.  Get out and fall down the chute.

After landing in the pile of rubbish walk to the west wall and in  the
hole  you find a reactor which you should take.   Walk north-east  and
climb  up  the ladder.   Now walk north to the start screen  and  then
right  through the tunnel until you get mugged by a rat who takes  the
reactor.   Go back to where you found it via the rubble left and  pick
it up again.   This time when you're at the top of the ladder pick  it
up and go back to the red tunnel.   Walk to the first bit of wire  and
pick  it up.   Walk east until you get to a massive robot's  head  and
enter his right eye, being careful not to fall over the edge.  You are
now  in the spaceship room.   Drop the ladder in front of the  engine,
climb it, walk slowly to the hatch and enter it.

Once  inside drop the reactor.   One wire is too short so use the  one
you picked up,  sit down and look at the screen.  Click on radar, then
engines,  then take off.   Click on the weapon screen and activate the
front shields,  then fire your lasers.  You can now fly out.  Click on
the  navigation screen and scan until you find a purple planet  called
Phleebhut.   Set  course at light speed and when you're arrived  press
land.   Ignore  the  messages  about  the  terminator  and  leave  the
spaceship.

Walk east,  north,  east and north again until you come to the monster
statue,  with the shop at the bottom.   Enter it and sell the gem, but
make  sure  you  say  no a  couple  of  times.   Buy  the  thermoweave
underware.   As  you leave the shop you're accosted by the  terminator
(painful).

Quickly  move west and walk in the door in the machine's  foot.   Once
in,  go  into the lift and go up to the next floor.   Now walk to  the
stairs  and go to the corner behind the far pulley facing  east.   The
terminator is now in the room.   When he's horizontally level with the
pulley push the cogs and kill him.   Walk down the stairs to the  pile
of  junk which was once the terminator.   Examine his body and put  on
the invisibility belt.


                               ARKANOID

While  the  game  is  loading hit  capslock  and  type  in  DEATHSTAR.
Pressing the'S' key when playing enables you to skip levels.


                           BEACH VOLLEYBALL

Typing in 'DADDY BRACEY' to activate the cheat mode.  Hitting F1 means
you can skip levels.

                        BETTER DEAD THAN ALIEN

Enter the cheat mode by typing 'ELV'  Now you can press,
F1        Scatterbolts        F6        Neutron missiles
F2        Multiple fire       F7        Clone ship
F3        Auto repeat         F8        Shield
F4        Armour missiles     F9        Skip level
F5        Stun                F10       Extra power bars

Typing in 'ELVIE' activates a further cheat mode, what is it.  Oh come
on why don't you try it and see, then you can let me know what it is.


                            RESOLUTION 101

If  this  super  game  is getting the better of  you  then  take  full
advantage  of old timer Clive's trade-in guarantee.   To do  this  you
have to save up 6,500 dollars and buy a class 1 light cannon.   You're
now able to hit targets high in the air.   What's more you can cause a
lot  more  damage to ground based targets because Clive has  fitted  a
heavy auto machine gun free of charge.   Now why don't they do that at
my local garage.

                              SUPER CARS

When you're asked to enter your name try entering either  'NAME,  ODIE
or BIGC' for loads-a-money.

                              CRAZY CARS

Take  you speed to 204mph and press F10 to pause the game.   Hit  fire
and the game slows down enough to enable you to easily pass the police
obstructions.

up four pods of each colour.

4  "Never wrapped" collect this bonus by never going off the  side  of
the screen.
5  "Didn't  rotate  right" the hardest bonus of all can  be  yours  by
(guess what?) never going right.


                           AIRBORNE RANGER

On the delay sabotage stage,  place the bomb in disguise and break out
by  rocketing the hut.   Run through the hole and go to the  next  hut
along.   You  should now be in false uniform again and can  make  good
your escape.


                                SNOOPY

If the stepping stones are causing you problems the go to Lucy's house
and  get  the umbrella in order to pass under  the  cloud.   Drop  the
umbrella, pick up the umbrella again and go back underneath the cloud.
Drop the umbrella, pick up the football and go to the stepping stones.
Kick  the ball from stepping stone number two and you can now step  on
it to pass over the pond.


                              KID GLOVES

After  exploring  the first few levels go back to the first  room  and
hack down loads of worms in order to gain extra levels for future more
difficult foes.  This is more of a tip then a cheat.


                            KARATE KID II

Pressing 'P' lets you skip levels.


                               DAMOCLES

In  the last edition of The C.P.U.  I showed you one way of  finishing
this  game,  this  is  another way of doing the  same,  and  it's  far
shorter.
1 Use the Eagle to follow the instructions until you reach the  Moorby
school of flying.
2 Go as far as Capital City (12,14) and collect the A-Z from the first
floor.  Now activate it.
3 Go to Key West (07,07) and pick up the antigrav from the basement.
4  Head  for  Snow island (03,00) and when you  get  there,  take  the
cupboard.  This is the Nova trigger 2 for the Novabomb.
5 Take a trip out to Bar island (06,01) and pick up the  Eagle.   This
is  made possible by the Antigrav which also enables you to carry  the
teleports around with you.  Teleports increase your speed of travel so
always make sure you pick them up.
6 Teleport to No 6.   Do this by walking into the teleport.   The side
with the UP arrow increases the teleport number in increments on one.
7  Head for Chaldea Metropolis (06,06) and collect the gold  from  the
basement.
8  Go to location (04,06) where you can sell the gold.   You need  the
cash in a moment.
9  Go  to location (09,02) and buy the hi-fi which is another  of  the
triggers.
10 Go to (09,02) and collect the Novobomb from the basement.
11 Now pick up the Eagle again,  drop the teleport and teleport to  No
0.  Don't  bother to pick up the teleport since you're now  locked  in
Hantzen's house.
12 Pick up the sideboard,  another trigger, and teleport to No 3, this
time taking the teleport with you.
13 Head for (05,06) and enter the building.  Opposite you see a table.
Walk  up  to  it and collect the washbasin which is the  last  of  the
triggers you require.
14  Teleport  to  No 1 and fly to  Damocles.   This  should  be  close
providing you don't take too long to complete the mission.
15 Land on Damocles and drop the Novabomb.   Retreat to a safe  place,
fast.
16 Switch on all the triggers and watch as Damocles is blown to little
bits.


                               WARHEAD

I  must  say I think the controls to this game suck,  but here  are  a
selection of tips guaranteed to help you complete some of the  testing
missions.  Provided you can come to grips with the stupid controls.

Mission one.
Press  H  (headup)  W (weapons headup) and  L  (launch).   Now  hit  9
(autopilot nine) and point at the outermost navig marker.   Press  the
space bar (to make primary target).  Keep pointing at it and hold down
the  right  mouse button to fly away from the Solbase until  the  next
message appears.  Make sure you always read the messages.
Fly  back to the navig marker (press 2 then 4 to centre on  it)  until
you are 50-100 m away from it.  Wait for the next message.
Point at the Solbase and make it your primary target then fly  towards
it  until  you're approximately 200m away (you crash if  you  get  any
closer than 100m).   Now press 2 and tap the left mouse button so  you
can coast in.  At 100m the Solbase takes over.

Mission two.
Set the co-ordinates for Earth and then launch as before.   Press Q to
quadspace then wait for the recall message.   Set the co-ordinates for
the  Solbase  and press Q.   It's far easier to dock if you  make  the
Solbase the primary target and then fly towards it from any direction.
When  you're about 200m away,  press 2 and tap the left mouse  button.
The  arms  of  the Solbase cannot hit you so you  can  dock  from  any
direction.

Mission three.
Follow the launch procedure and quad to Deimos.  Now make the asteroid
you primary target,  fire off all six missiles and wait for the recall
message.   Stingers have a range of approximately 5,000m.   Return and
dock.

Mission four.
Launch and quad to Venus.   Point at the dummy target and zoom in  (by
pressing Z twice) and fire the MDC at it.   Be careful not to fly into
the dummy target.

Mission five.
Launch and quad to Io (one of Jupiter's moons) and wait for the recall
message (about 60 seconds).  This is a dummy mission.

Mission six.
Launch  and quad to Mercury and wait for the recall  message,  another
dummy.

Mission seven.
Launch  and quad to Triton and then hit T for a tactical  view.   Wait
for  the  quad space noise then look around.   Target on  the  unknown
object and fire off a DGP.   Shoot any stinger missiles heading in you
direction with you MDC.  When the DGP hit, blast him with a stinger or
the  MDC (the MDC is only effective against the drons  and  missiles).
Wait for the recall message and then return and dock.

Mission eight.
This  is  similar  to the above except that  you  MDC  is  ineffective
against the aliens.  Instead, kill them using two stingers each.

Mission nine.
Fly  towards  Corsairs until you're about 500m away then  destroy  the
enemy  ships with stingers (another appears as soon as  you've  killed
the first so beware).

Mission ten.
Quad  to  the CH-010 system and press 9 straightaway.   Wait  for  the
danger  message to appear and then head immediately for  the  Solbase.
Press  9 again and wait for the ship to stop.   Target on Solbase  and
press 2 then fly manually because you're some distance form the  base.
Keep in blue speed until you're approximately 10,000m away then  press
9 and fly in normally.

                            RICK DANGEROUS

When  the game has loaded press T and you're asked whether or not  you
want infinite lives.  Answer Y and then press 0 to start.


                             DYNAMITE DUX

Type 'CHEAT' on the title screen and you get infinite lives?


                             NINJA SPIRIT

If  the Ninja baddies are getting the better of you then  try  pausing
the game with F9 and restarting it with the Control key.   You  should
now have infinite lives.   Or you could try typing 'TERRIFIC' and then
pressing F3,  this also gives infinite lives, and 'L' takes you to the
next level.
