Databay/!Help

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.

  To use these Hacker and Desktop Hacker cheat modules, simply
double-click on your chosen module before running the game. Study the
loading message carefully; a list of keys will be displayed, along with
the cheats that go with them. If you miss the loading message, press F12
and type "*HELP Cheat" after loading the module. Once you have loaded
the cheat module, load your chosen game as normal. While you are playing
the game, hold down the right-hand Ctrl button and then press the key
relating to the cheat which you wish to activate.

  However, the new Desktop Hacker modules use the right-hand Alt key
instead of the Ctrl button, so make sure you read the helptext
carefully.

  After you have finished playing the game, either reset the machine or
quit the game and kill the cheat module by pressing F12 from within the
desktop and typing "*RMKill CheatMod".

  Special thanks to David Paisley for sending in his Hacker cheat
modules  - it was good to see you at the show!

If you have any cheat modules, hints, tips or information, send them in
to The Databay at the address below, and you may well see your work in
this directory.
