I am not a big fan of game cheats because they usually
makes games unbalanced, and too easy.
But on the other hand, if you have already finished a game
then it's quite funny to play around with cheats.

Yeah, yeah enough already.. just gimme the cheats!



Press control-e first and hear the low double beep before typing codes in:

battlecheat = enable in-flight cheats

canttouchthis = invincibility

fillerup = unlimited flight range

knowitall = all research is yours

quickbase = finishes all bases currently under construction

payday = money



And if you would like an X-COM: Apocalypse theme for windows,
here's one made by Tansu Gokcen. Find it in the Files section.
