Edit file cheats
—————-
In the folder CHARS under the folder CENTIPEDE was installed
into, is the text file CENTI.CHR
(example: C:\CENTIPED\CHARS\CENTI.CHR).
Near the end is the section FIRSTINVENTORY=
Changing all these 0 or 1 values to 999 will give 999 shots
of all special weapons (SPACEBAR or mouse button2).
Down a little farther is HITPOINTS=
Changing this 1 value to 0 will make your character invulnerable.
Command-line parameters
WARNING!: Many of these do not work and will crash the game!
recognized options are:
———————–
-2 Play with 2 player split screen mouse/keyboard
-w Use wingman Extreme for input
-g use GCI flight controller on COM2 for input
-g1 use GCI flight controller on COM1 for input
-L <filename> load the given .lvl file. This option does work, but
the only ways to exit the game after running it this way are to try
and start a new game or to use the DLOAD cheat inside a level. It
also appears that this option records a demo into the file
record.dat as the option -r is supposed to. Valid level names are:
