At least, when Kalt and I presented our answers to Adrian (the rest being the same as the ones posted here), his "yep" seemed to imply the above.

#4 could also be Doom II: Hell on Earth, because IDKFA worked there too.

If it were IDCLEV, it would be the original Doom, because Doom II's level warp cheat was different.

Ahh, good old Doom II . . . *admires his Super Shotgun, hanging on the wall above his computer*

[ot]Wonder if they kept any of the old Doom/Doom II cheats for Doom 3 . . . [/ot]

Actually, my #1 is a little spurious.

This code appears to be a bit of a cult, I'm not entirely clear where it has originated. I kinda sprung to the conclusion above based on the fact it was the most famous game I've heard of that I saw, but I think I'm wrong.

Anyway, the code is "up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right" and either "select" or "start". See if anyone else can come up with something more definite.

It's really close to "The Konami Code" which was the same but "B, A" before the "start". That code appears just about EVERYWHERE!

Also, in a random act of confusion, the other code appears to cross a few versions of the game I mentioned, not specifically that one..

Any thoughts?

I agree, can't find the code on Google anywhere, could it be a code for THIS GAME? Perhaps it was something to do with the break in. Either way, there is definitely some significance to it

That assumes that the game won't just be played out for the rest of our natural lives, and it'll work because of inflation and compound interest Laughing

We still have no idea about the KJIC one ? I was trying different things like '(k)ick (j)ump (i)? (c)rouch' or some fighting combinaison, but I can't find any cheat combinaison using that sequence. Does anyone have any other ideas?

Don't some arcade games (in the arcade not arcade style) have buttons like that? it could be a code for an arcade machine. I think that the Kick Jump is probbably right, but the others could be special moves or something; and when all together, they are a powerfull attack.

Absolutely. But 1. Can you enter a cheat code into an arcade game?

2. As far as limited recall goes, the buttons on the console are generally not actually called 'K', J', 'I', 'C' or whatever. There's generally just the Direction buttons and an 'A' and 'B' control on most (and sometimes a joystick). So, if we are looking at 'Kick', 'Jump', 'Crouch', etc., then presumably, on an arcade game, any code would literally be more like...well...Down, A, B, Up, Up, Right. Not that I confess myself to have an encyclopedic knowledge of the arcade console, so I'm ready to be contradicted Smile

In more general terms - I think it's (fairly) obvious that the games thus far identified are all extremely famous examples of their type (yes, even Manic Miner), so, for what its worth, it would surprise me if this game is hideously obscure.

The (hypothetical) usage of 'I' remains mysterious - the first thought that came into my mind was a system that utilised 'I' for 'Inventory' or 'Item' - i.e. it's a game in which you can carry objects as well as fight?

For some reason, I was put in mind of the original 'Prince of Persia' (all that jumping and crouching, no doubt). Am I correct in assuming that, if the letters are QWERTY based, then we have to be looking at a system which, if not arcade, would have to be something controlled with a keyboard - anything from Spectrum up through Atari ST and Amiga to various PC adventures, but not Playstation etc.??
