[Preface]
Thanks for trying Super Game Cheat. With gaming now adays, there is
usually one you will come across that you cannot beat. Well, hopefully,
that game is convered in here! With Super Game Cheat you can access a
huge database of games and get the latest cheat codes, back doors,
debugs, and whatever else. You now hold the power to cheat in many of
your favorite games. Oh, if you have a concious, I suppose you really
don't want to use this anyhow...such a pity.
Let me do a little explaining behind Super Game Cheat. When I
first started with Game Cheat, I had no idea it would come this far. My
programming abilities at that time were less than novice. Now, it has
come this far. I got the idea for Game Cheat from a program called
CHEAT written by Mike Zier. Well, his was great and all, but I wanted
to see if I could do better. As it seems, Mike has been a little behind
in his programming, and I haven't seen another release from CHEAT.
Anyhow, the first version of Game Cheat was alright, but only covered 12
games. It soon came to over 100. Well, the whole reason I stopped
coding of Game Cheat was because it was getting too big. So, I started
work on Super Game Cheat. I found easier ways to DataBase my cheats,
and as work progressed, found even easier ways. With the first version
of Super Game Cheat, there was much to be desired. That has been
accomplished in this version.
I don't want to get too carried away here, so we will move on. As
you have already read the license agreement, you know all the legal
stuff. To make your use of Super Game Cheat easy, this document will
explain every little thing you may need to know. So, please, read on,
and enlighten yourself.

[Command Line Parameters]
For Super Game Cheat there are many command line parameters which
you can use as utilities or to speed up Super Game Cheat. If you don't
know what a command line parameter is, you are obviously behind in the
times. I will explain it for the ameture users.
A command line parameter is something you type in AFTER the name of
the file you wish to execute. Some programs have them, and some don't.
The general way to find out if a program has command line parameters is
to run the program with the '/?' parameter.
Within Super Game Cheat, the parameters are quite simple and perform
certain tasks. Below is a list and what they do.
/C - runs the credits scroller
/F - cleans the directory up
+ if you find wierd files in your SGC directory,
you should run SGC with this parameter.
/G - shows number of games covered this release.
/M - check available memory
/Q - quick load (skips intro screen)
/R - load registration program
/S - set screen saver wait period
(usage: /S:<minutes> whereas)
(<minutes> is 1 to 10)
/T - check data files
/V - show current version
/? - shows this list.
To use these parameters you simply type SGC [option].

[Registration Information]
Super Game Cheat is shareware. You have an evalutation period of 30
days before you are required to stop using Super Game Cheat, or
purchasing the full version. Once your 30 days are up you must destroy
or register this program no matter what.
There are of course some registration incentives. The cost of Super
Game Cheat is $10 (US Funds). This is a modest price considering the
work that I put into it. Once you have paid, you will get your registration
number. All features that are available in registered mode will now be
available to you. At startup, it will display "Registered to: <your name>"
on the intro screen
All future versions of Super Game Cheat will not require you to
purchase a new registration code. This means, you pay $10 once, and
you're done. This can only be held true if 1) you register and 2) there
is no prior warning telling you that you are going to have to obtain a
new registration code. Simply put, you only pay once.
In order to register you must print and fill out the order form
(ORDER.FRM) and mail it, and your payment to me. My address can be
found on page 8 of this document.
Payment is accepted in Cash, Check, or Money Order, made payable to
Darrin Ackerman. Payment will only be accepted in U.S. funds. Also, I
would not recommend sending cash, but if you choose, be certain to make
sure that you cannot see the cash through the envelope. I cannot be
held liable for cash lost in the mail.
Within filling out the order form, there is some information which
I will need to know. Such as how you want to recieve your registration
code. There are three ways which I can send it to you. 1) Via Internet
E-Mail. 2) Via regular mail (snail mail). 3) By calling you voice.
Please fill out the order form in its entirety. If there is any
information lacking, I cannot give you the registration code. I will
try to contact you if I can, if not, you are "Up the creek."

[Closing Notes]
Well, this closes out this manual. I have spent 3 hours writing
this up. Boy, am I tired. I hope you plan to register Super Game
Cheat. People whom do register help me to keep up the production of
Super Game Cheat. I had no idea I would ever take it this far.
If you have cheats or whatnot for games I don't have, please, send
them to me e-mail or whatever. I will credit you in SGC. If you have
updates, get in touch. The same goes for comments, suggestions, bug
fixes, and so on.
At any rate, I would again like to thank you for taking a look at
Super Game Cheat. I have tried as hard as I can to make it easy to use,
and something that you find overall quite handy. If you have any
questions or comments, you can reach me via the ways posted in the above
section.
Also, one final thing. I am considering putting up a support BBS
in the near future. I think that this will make things easier on my
part and on yours. This also would open another door for receiving
registration codes.
