LMA MANAGER 2001 (TNT)

Codemasters are simply the best game designer around. Not only have they produced some of the best games series ever (Micro Machines, Colin McRae Rally, TOCA Touring Cars, Music and of course LMA Manager), their games are stuffed with cheats and cool, bizarre things (Oh! And they're still British). LMA Manager 2001 is no exception to this rule, and I'll deliver more cheats as I test them.

Enter these as your manager name when starting a new game. A mssage will confirm the cheat, and you get to type in your real name.

NameWhat it does
SUPERSTARSQuite a handy cheat, this, as it bumps up you player's abilities up to the top notch (although Agility [GKs only], Pace [Non-GKs only], Temperament, Fitness, Stamina and Intelligence still vary with the player). The disadvantage is that you must foot a hefty wage bill for your stars, but you can sell players for massive amounts (£38 million for a defender, anyone?) and the best new players in the world (i.e. your youth team) come dirt cheap for their talents.
POTIONSIt's always annoying when your star striker, wonder winger or defensive linchpin injures himself in training and is out for weeks, maybe even months. Use this cheat and your injured players will be back in the squad in a matter of days.
NO CONSTRUCTIONNew stadia cost a packet, and they take ages to build. This cheat allows you to build them almost instantly (about a full day's work), and - even better - it's free! (Well strictly speaking, the same amount of money is credited to your account as is debited)
LUCKY STREAKYou win every game, mainly courtesy of stunning defending and keeping, and some simply crazy goals. Matches aren't quite as thrilling as with the SUPERSTARS cheat, but it's more of a dead cert and it's also a lot easier on your pocket.
FILTHY RICHGives you access to funds that not even Manchester United can dream of - specifically, half a billion quid.

Thanks to John Brown for the last three.

There are a couple of odd surprises in LMA Manager 2001. The names of youth team players appear to be arbitary, but look closely and you can see that those wacky guys at Codemasters must be Carry On fans - there's a defender named K. Williams and a striker named S. James...

That's not all. Have you noticed that goalkeepers never take free kicks - even when the kick's in the six-yard area! Wingers have a tough time of it too - they tend to get stuck in the top corners of the pitch, and joggle about as if they're unsure of what to do. Hmm... slightly suspect AI


MICRO MACHINES V3 (TNT)

Here's a couple of cheats. Type this in as your character name. Don't worry about being saddled with a monikker like CATLIVES, you can change it afterwards and still stay in cheat mode...
NameEffect
CATLIVESGives you 9 (rather than 3) lives in 1-Player mode.
GIMMEALLAll the multiplayer tracks are yours!
