These are usually text files (.rts, txt or .doc) that give a detailed
description of how to play a game from the beginning to the end. If you
read through these too early in the game, you will lose some of the fun of
playing with the game.
Puzzle solutions:
These are keys to puzzles that are necessary for you if you want to get
ahead in the game. They can be keys to doors, quiz questions, safe
combinations, the use of certain objects that the player has to find out
relying on the information gathered during the game. These are not
considered cheats, either. But if you read them in advance, you will lose
some fun of the game.
Strategy guides/game guides:
We can make a distinction between official and non-official game guides.
Official guides are printed, illustrated books that are published by game
developing companies and you can buy them online or in bookshops.
Non-official game guides or FAQ's are detailed descriptions made by game
fans about particular games, which are usually free and available
electronically in txt. or doc. format on the Internet. You can also find
game guides in magazines dealing with video games. These detailed
descriptions do not only contain the goals of the game, the game control
commands, characters, the objects, the rule system, but you can also find
extensive information about the strategies concerning end plays and the
different situations in a particular game. They used to be made for more
complex games such as simulators or strategic games but nowadays they come
with almost every video game.
Trainers:
These software are not developed by game developers, they are designed for
the manipulation of certain memory values. They usually consist of an
'exe. file' that can be downloaded from the Internet in zipped or
compressed format. Trainers allow you to alter certain values and features
that are originally not built in the game. For instance, money trainers
will give unlimited money, or with the touch of a bottom you can switch on
the invulnerability mode. Enthusiastic players and coding people make them
for PC games.
In order to use these trainers you have to start the game and with the
combination of the ALT+TAB keys you have to switch back to your operating
system. Some games do not permit the switch with the combination of the
ALT+TAB keys if there is not a parallel program running in the background
so it is worth the trouble to open an operating screen before the start of
the game. Another simple way of switching back is to use the WIN button on
your keyboard.
Before you run the trainer it is important to check it for viruses to make
sure that your trainer is free from viruses. In this way you can avoid
many unpleasant surprises. Run the program and select the desired option
in the trainer. In some cases, if you press certain keys or the
combination of certain keys during the game it will result in the desired
modifications. You can get information about these modifications and their
consequences when you start the trainer as this kind of info is written on
the screen right after you start running the program.
Return to your PC game while you are running the trainer, in other words,
it is important to run the trainer in the background while your are
playing with your game.
Why does the trainer not work with your game?
The most common problem is that the trainer is not compatible with the
particular game you play as a result it does not function because it was
made for a game with a version number, which is different from the game
you use. Most trainers are released with info (.nfo) and readme txt files.
In these files you will find all the necessary information about their
proper use and the version numbers of the games they are compatible with.
In some cases you have to start the trainer before running the game. It is
recommended to try out both methods.
Saved game files:
These files have all the different game positions of other players saved
for a particular game. They are created when the player has successfully
completed a level or has defeated a main enemy or when the hero of the
game has been upgraded with super qualities. If you would like to use
these files all you have to do is to copy them into the saved game
directory of the game and to load them when you start the game. It is
highly recommended to make a backup copy of your game positions just in
case the new ones would not work.
Editors:
The editors are small programs that enable the player to modify some files
of the video game. These can be saved game files or 'ini' files that
contain game specific information or files concerning the different
characters of the game. Similarly to trainers these are also created by
game enthusiasts or programmers. The most common type is the character
editor that can alter the characters' features, such as hitpoint,
dexterity, or stamina in the different RPG games. They can also alter the
objects' characteristics in the different games. They are very much likely
to operate with only those games that have exactly the same version
number. The editors should be run in the installation directory that
corresponds with the location of those files that we would like to modify,
in other cases these files have to be loaded into the editor.
Uhs:
This abbreviation stands for Universal Hint System. These files have
so-called 'uhs' extensions and in order to take a look at them you need a
UHS viewer software. It provides you either with hints on how to
accomplish certain tasks or with direct keys to certain tasks in a given
game. You can freely download from their website.
Hex cheats:
They belong to the most difficult types of cheats and you are required to
possess at least intermediate or advanced computer skills to implement
them. This type of cheat usually contains a "hex address" and a certain
value that should be replaced.
E.g. endless energy: with the help of the Hex Editor you are to replace:
08 3E F0 03 00 74 03 with 08 3E F0 03 00 90 90.
In order to implement this modification you need a Hex Editor. The most
well-known ones are the following: WinHex, Hex Workshop, Hex Edit,
Advanced Hex Editor, Cygnus Hex Editor. In all cases it is highly
recommended to make a backup copy of the file you intend to modify.
Gameshark/Action replay/ Other patch codes:
To apply these cheats you need to buy certain hardware accessories. These
are hardware, special devices that you can connect to your game systems
and enable you to modify certain features in your games that are
originally not permitted. They provide you with advantages such as eternal
life, infinite ammunition, objects or money. They function similarly to
trainers and they are based on the manipulation of memory values. These
cheats are available in shops that sell video games. The most common ones
are Game Genie, Pro Action Replay, GameShark, and Codebreaker. The cheats
that are used with the games are purchased together with these devices or
available in codebooks or via the Internet on certain web pages.
It seems clear now that there is a great deal of different cheats whose
applications vary from games to games, ranging from typing in a keyword to
complex programming. Only one question remains: Where can you find cheats
or help for your favourite game on the Internet?
I can highly recommend the Abby-cheat.com for a start.
