REX NEBULAR Bonus Disk -- Additional Cool Things List
                                                    Updated by Rex
=====================================================

Here are a few more interesting things you may want to try. All of these things involve "cheating" in one way or another, so you may not want to read this until you have solved the game normally; then you can play around with these "cheat" options.

Watching The Closing Animations:
================================

As you may already have discovered, Rex's story has several possible endings, only one of which is a "happy" one.  You can watch each of these endings simply by typing the proper command from the DOS prompt:

mainmenu -w:1 ("A Quick Death")
mainmenu -w:2 ("An Honorable Death")
mainmenu -w:3 ("Victory!")
mainmenu -w:4 ("The Decompression Ending")

The last of these (mainmenu -w:4) shows the epilogue only, since the decompression itself is handled with special program code instead of an animation script.

Be sure to play through the game normally first, so that you won't spoil the ending for yourself. Then, use the command line options to bring up "instant replays" for your friends.

Quotes
======

Select "Credits" and watch all the names of the programmers.  Do not touch anything and wait until the end.  Then go to Main Menu and choose "Quotes" and have fun!!!

Cheat Mode!
===========

That's right. Rex Nebular does in fact contain a special "cheat mode" that we used during development. Now you too can make use of this special, privileged set of keyboard commands. One word of warning, however, before you begin: these cheat keys were designed to be used by experienced programmers (nyuk, nyuk). Mostly, that means that if they are not used with great care, the cheat keys can cause the game to crash or cause Rex to get permanently stuck somewhere. We'll tell you how to get into cheat mode and give you a few basic pointers on how to use it, but the rest is entirely AT YOUR OWN RISK! Remember also that once you turn cheat mode on in a game, it will remain on even when you save that game (so any damage that might have been done by cheat mode will remain in effect for that game when you restore it). To turn cheat mode off, you must either start a new game or restore an old game from before you started cheating.

Finally, we STRONGLY suggest that you play Rex all the way through before turning on cheat mode. First and foremost, this prevents cheat mode from spoiling the game for you. Secondly, it gives you a better idea of the intended story line of Rex (so that when you completely foul it up with cheat mode you will realize what is happening). We must emphasize that cheat mode is really nothing more than a way to go bashing around the planet in the wrong order and at the wrong times.

How To Activate Cheat Mode
==========================

To activate cheat mode, you must first either start a new game or restore an old game. Next, press the CTRL key and hold it down. While continuing to hold down the CTRL key, type the letters W, I, D, E, P, I, P, E in sequence. When you are finished, a grey box containing the message "Cheat-ing Enabled" should appear (if it does not, try again from the beginning--you must have missed a key). Once the grey box appears, you can release the CTRL key. Then, press the SPACE bar to clear the message from the screen. You are now in cheat mode!

Cheat Mode Options
==================

Once you have entered cheat mode, you can teleport yourself to any location in the game. To do this, press the CTRL-T key. A grey box will pop up and ask you where you want to go. Just type in the proper room number and "poof"--you're there. The tricky part, of course, is finding out the proper room number. If you type in an invalid room number, the game will abort with the <KernelNoRoom> error. Here is a list of valid room numbers that you can try:

You can find out what "room" you are in at any time by pressing CTRL-P. The grey box which appears will tell you the current room number (among other things).

The CTRL-O key allows you to move objects around. When you press CTRL-O, you will be asked for an object number (valid numbers range from 0 to 54, with the exceptions of 18, 38, and 44). You can then move the object to any desired location ("2" moves it to your own inventory; "0" gets rid of it). Moving objects is extremely risky, since typing an invalid object number is almost guaranteed to crash the game. We'll let you figure out which objects are which by trial and error. We will, however, give you one example: Press CTRL-O. Then type the number "39" (for detonators) and press ENTER. Then type the number "2" (for player inventory) and press ENTER. You now have the detonators!

We recommend that you DO NOT attempt to use the CTRL-G option (to change global flags). Bad, horrible things could happen.

While Rex is walking somewhere, you can press the SPACE bar to scoot him along his path quickly. The risk here is that occasionally you will get Rex "stuck" so that he can't move at all; if this happens, press CTRL-Z. Pressing the SPACE bar occasionally has other bizarre effects (such as causing all the people on the screen to disappear). These exciting bonus features can also generally be corrected by pressing CTRL-Z (see, isn't cheat mode neat!).

Other codes are:
CTRL - J                 Disables Cheat mode
CTRL - ENTER      Disables Cheat mode
CTRL - V                 Version Info
CTRL - L                 Teleporter codes
CTRL - N                 Changes naughtiness level
CTRL - C                 Displays your position on the screen
CTRL - E                 *Try it*
CTRL - U                 Turn Rex
CTRL - I                   Moves mouse over inventory
CTRL - A                 Memory status
CTRL - S                 Play sounds by number
CTRL - D                Changes difficulty setting
CTRL - Z                 Resets Screen
CTRL - X                *hehehehe - have some fun with this one*

Several other strange and wonderful cheat options exist; they have not been described here, but you may find them with a little experimentation. Use them at your own risk!!!

One of these features is the "frame by frame" mode which will be activated if you accidentally press the CTRL-F key. The game will appear to "freeze up", but you can restart it by pressing CTRL-F again.

Have fun!
