!AWFeb95/Goodies/Hacker/ReadMe

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

Here are some CheatMods, to allow you to cheat on more Acorn games. To use
them, simply double-click on them and note the keys they tell you to press.
Then load the game and hold down the keys to activate the cheats.

If it doesn't work:

(a) Some old games kill all modules when they run (generally those that exit
    the desktop and don't let you back). To stop this, press F12 and enter:
    *Set Alias$RMClear Set dHacker$RMClear Stopped
(b) Some games exist in more than one version, for example when the authors
    fixed bugs or added new features. You may have a different version than
    the one that the authors of the CheatMods used to make the cheat. If
    there isn't another CheatMod for your version, then sorry! You'll have to
    make one yourself!

These cheat modules were created with Desktop Hacker, available for �10 from
DoggySoft at 7 Blackhorse Crescent, Amersham, Bucks., HP6 6HP.
