Each of these commands needs to be followed by one of the four letter game codes listed below:

HELP-: lists all of these commands as applied to the named game.

LIST-: lists the four digit codes of all games starting at the named one. You can also enter a four digit number to start from that game number, eg LIST-0000 to start at the beginning. You can enter numbers higher than 51, but all slots will be empty.

INFO-, DESC-, HIST-: displays one of the information pages for the named game. These can be viewed in the game details window on the main menu.

EXEC-: runs the named game just as if you had chosen it from the menu.

COPY-, NAME-, MOVE-, EDIT-: are accepted, but appear as "disabled". These are likely out of scope of the game and cannot be enabled.

Each of the 50 games, plus the main menu and the secret game, is identified at the terminal by a four-letter code. This is displayed on the Terminal screen whenever Terminal is opened during the game. The codes are:

The Terminal Treasure Hunt is a meta-quest that covers all 50 games and gives incremental access to an additional hidden game.

Looking at the information page for Night Manor will tell you that it is the "first game directed by longtime designer Greg-milk." Entering GREG-MILK at the terminal will show a distinctive arrow icon (which you may have seen in the Terminal before) and a binary map that corresponds to the game selection menu. There is a single "1" in the map, which matches the game Mini & Max.

Enter Mini & Max and explore the low level. There is one door which leads to a room that is empty except for the same up arrow sign. In this room, open the Terminal, and you will see the first clue of the treasure hunt.

To complete each clue, you need to enter the correct game, arrange a particular situation in that game, and then open the Terminal. This will give the next clue.

Some clues in the Treasure Hunt will give you a code leading into the hidden meta-game. This provides background on UFO Soft and can be used to find prototype games; in most cases, playing and completing a prototype game is necessary to reveal the next treasure hunt clue.

There are multiple codes to access the meta game; they determine your starting location. Most doors in the meta game are "locked from the other side" and can be unlocked by using a later starting location to spawn on the other side of the door. These are revealed gradually via the treasure hunt:

Start: EXEC-MIAS
2: HIDE-HOLE
3: SOAP-STOP
4: 0229-1988

These prototype games are accessed via the Treasure Hunt, and most give Treasure Hunt clues when completed.

EXEC-COLO - a version of Paint Chase in which enemies do not paint the level, but kill you on impact. Paint the entire level in time to win.

EXEC-HOVR - a simplified version of Campanella with reduced graphics and only a single room. Also, harder.

EXEC-GODB - a knockback based 2D combat game. Defeat two thugs to win.

Once you have completed the treasure hunt and visited all areas of the hidden metagame, you can reach the Boss's Office and leave to the Forever Corridor at the top left of the area.

If you have not found all three prototype disks, the Forever Corridor will be endless. Having played the prototypes by entering their codes is not sufficient - you must have actually gotten the discs inside the metagame.

If you have all three discs, you will only have to walk a short distance before reaching the exit to Roof Access. Once on the Roof, use the helicopter repeatedly until you climb in.

There is one additional code which is obtained only through the metaplot (which involves more than just the hidden game and terminal; it is also spread across the game credits screens, internal secrets, and even the opening pictures). To access this, enter the code STEN-MURZ (the start of the name of one of the UFO-Soft testers) and the following diagram will appear:


The actual final code constantly varies, and has to be worked out every time using this diagram as a clue. Move to the bottom of the main menu and set the game sort to Random (as indicated by the question marks at the bottom), then examine the eight games that now appear in the menu positions corresponding to the diagram above. Take the first letters of these games' terminal access codes, and enter them as a code in English reading order (left to right, top to bottom).

For example, suppose you sort Random and the games in those slots, in English reading order, are Campanella, Cyber Owls, Planet Zoldath, Ninpek, Barbuta, Golfaria, Divers and Magic Garden. The terminal access codes are UFO1, WNST, ZOLD, NINJ, TRAP, GOLF, DIVE and CUTE. So the code to enter this time is UWZN-TGDC.

This will unlock the final starting location in the hidden game. The contents of that location relate to a game archive collection project that is part of the metaplot. There is currently no evidence that it relates to any further terminal code.

These codes invoke either cheat or variant versions of the built in games. These are unlocked through multiple different methods, including completing the games at different levels and parts of the meta game. Note that not all are cheats - many are variants, and some actually make the games harder. Also, some games have no codes.
