Edit File Cheats
In the folder CHARS under the folder CENTIPEDE was installed into, is the text file CENTI.CHR (example: C:CENTIPEDCHARSCENTI.CHR).
Near the end is the section FIRSTINVENTORY=
Changing all these 0 or 1 values to 999 will give 999 shots of all "special" weapons (SPACEBAR or mouse button2).
Down a little farther is HITPOINTS=
Changing this 1 value to 0 will make your character invulnerable.

Type these inside a game level and press RETURN:
wimp = God mode on/off
getalife = Unlimited (?) lives
goto = end current level
fly = fly mode on/off
pede = create a Centipede nearby
robot = automatic movement and firing until player makes a movement and fires a shot
normal = normal game speed
slow = slower game speed
sloww = even slower game speed
slowww = still slower game speed
slowwww = really slow game speed
dload = kills game and goes back to Windows desktop
The rest of the codes are probably only for program diagnostics.
