Press ENTER during game play, then type "Give the sushi to Sean" (case-sensitive) to enable cheat mode. A message will confirm correct code entry. Then, press ENTER and activate the following cheats by entering the corresponding codes:

CHEAT FUNCTION - CHEAT CODE
Win current mission - A winner is you!

When you activate a code, it also becomes activated for the CPU. For example, if you enable the The Master Builders code, the CPU will also be capable of instant construction. This will cause you to receive mass attacks from the CPU, usually consisting of Dreadnoughts, Tiamats, or Monoliths depending on their race. The best way to protect from these mass attacks is to build a lot of LR Sensor Towers and build massive defenses. This include Ion Cannons, and building jump gates to protect your system, and mass Dreadnoughts.
