CARRIER COMMAND (?) (?)

While in the Walrus arming menu, select nine Harbinger surface to surface missiles and put them in the AAV. Select the Avatar Chemical Laser and place it over the missiles. Then select the pod you want (ACCB, Virus Bomb, Fuel) and place it in the AAV. Then, when you've launched the AAV, look at it's weapons and you'll find you have BOTH missiles and laser! On returning to the carrier any missiles you have left will be added to the ship's stores. Carry on doing this and hundreds of missiles can be yours.

Another cheat: while in the pause mode, type 'GROW OLD ALONG WITH ME'. You should now see the message 'Cheat mode active'. Pressing the '+' key on the numeric keypad protects your Mantas and AAVs from missile attacks. The '-' key can be used to turn this off. Pressing the following keys in sequence: HELP, 'Q', 'S', CTRL, ALT gives you a little message. Pressing the '9' on the keypad displays the current level. '6' and '8' have some other effect. Returning to the title screen, press the '+' and '-' keys to view all objects in the game.

A different source claims the following cheat:
Pause the game from the main view screen and type: 'THE BEST IS YET TO BE' complete with spaces. The game restarts automatically, and displays 'Cheat Mode Activated' in the message panel. Use the '+' and '-' keys to display all objects. When paused, pressing '+' and '-' on the numeric keypad toggles Manta invincibility: the flying craft are no longer vulnerable to aerial attack, although collision with large objects is still fatal. Once a course has been programmed for the carrier, Mantas or Walruses, engage autopilot and click on pause. To avoid sloggin around inreal type, you will find that pressing '3' on the keypad and unpausing again takes the corresponding craft directly to its destination. Likewise, pausing and pressing '2' replaces lost shielding, while tapping '1' refuels the craft in question. '9' shows the current difficulty level, '7' speeds up the game and '6' brings up the programmers' test palette!

Try pressing CTRL and 'M' on the main screen for some interesting effects. HINT: Try always to cut of the path to the homebase (top right island) of the enemy ship. It might get stuck without fuel and so buys you lot of time to conquer a lot of islands.
