Cheat Codes
Here are a few cheat codes to help players who are stuck, keep dying, or just don't want to play the game the proper way. To use these codes, just type them on your keyboard while you are playing.

LAREDLITE - This code freezes the enemies so it is easier to kill them.
LABRADY - This code gives you full ammo, so you don't have to worry about running out.
LACDS - This code completely fills out your map in case you get stuck or lost.
LAPOGO - This code gives you a higher jump, to make platforming easier.
LAIMLAME - This code makes you invincible; when you're hit it just bounces off.

What is Alt Fire? This is driving me crazy, did they just flatout forget to program that?

You forgot to add LAPOSTAL for all weapons, full ammo, and armour.

Is there a way to change the controls back into the original keyboard only other than going through the key mapper on dosbox? It threw me way the quack off that it got changed into WASD and mouse controls. The Alt fire button is 'R' btw. It "used" to be 'z'.

I'm sad LATERMINATE didn't seem to work, originally invincible and infinite ammo

If you want to rebind the keys press Ctrl + F1, which will access the DosBox keyboard and joystick mapping tool. \Dark Forces\DosBox\README.txt -Go to section 6 for 'Mapper' or try editing \Dark Forces\mapper.txt directly.

"LAIMLAME"
Ah, the good old days of insulting the players when you give them invincibility cheats. I can only wonder as to why they don't do this anymore. #sarcasm
