I welcome all submissions and comments!

These tips have been successfully tested by myself or another person. Please mail me if you know any other tips or cheats to C64 games. If you can test them, please do so before mailing them to me. In any case, state clearly whether they are tested or not. Note that I am not including pokes, but Drago Fiser has got a WWW page with C-64 pokes. Niilo Paasivirta keeps The Great C64 Cheats Compendium which also has pokes and other cheats.


Some key-combinations have to be typed in. Others demand that you press and hold all the listed buttons. I've tried to separate them by denoting a sequence of keys to be typed in after one another with a ',' in between, i.e. C,H,E,A,T. If the keys are to be held in at once, I've separated them with a '+', i.e. C+H+E+A+T. Sometimes the order in which you press the keys are not important, sometimes it is. Note to C64-emulator users: Make sure that the involved keys aren`t mapped to a joystick or something. The emulators also doesn`t seem to handle "hold-a-lot-of-keys-down-at-once" cheats very well.
