Powermonger:
-----------
After instructing your captain to invent something, pause the game
and set the game speed to full. Now wait a minute or two. Unpause
the game and your captain will (well should) have continued
inventing in that time!

Sim City:
--------
Wait for the main screen to appear and hold down [CAPS LOCK] while
typing MONEY. Your account should increase by $10,000! (Warning:
If you use this method too often, the game will crash or a sudden
earthquake occurs!!)
Becoming a successful town planner:  Start by building a group of
two or three residential areas along with two commercial and two
or three industrial areas. Now join them all up with power lines
and roads. Don't bother with railways until later.
Now build a power station quite far away from the main group of
buildings, because the people don't like the pollution it causes
close to their homes. A coal station is usually a good option for
this because there is no risk of meltdown, and basically it's
cheaper. Build a fire and police station, the worst crime areas
are in the industrial areas.
The main secret of success is the tax rate. As soon as the game
starts put it right down to 0%.  When October comes round put it
up to 20%. People are attracted to your city because of no taxes,
giving you loads of money. However, in January, (when the taxes
have been collected) put the rate back down to 0%. Do this all
through the game because the citizens are always caught out by
it. Keep a good balance between areas (commercial to industrial)
and build plenty of roads between them. Don't spend too much each
year; expand slowly and you're on your way!

Shadow of the Beast II:
----------------------
Hold down LEFT [SHIFT] together with [ENTER] and [0] on the
keypad.  Now release and press F5. Your energy should go up 30
units.

Railroad Tycoon:
---------------
To get your cash up to $500,000, go to the regional display and
type $. (Shift + 4.)

Bloodwych:
---------
Go through the normal process of buying an object, but stop when
paying the creature. Instead of money put an object in the
transfer slot, the creature says it's a pathetic price to pay
but gives you the object anyway.
