Device you use to cheat is as Strange as the tune playing.
How to Cheat in the Savage Empire.
In order to cheat within the Savage Empire two things are needed.
The list of commands and information on this page or downloadable as text. The program MDHack, created by F-15 Dragon.
Once you have the program you unzip it and from a MSDos window run the program, specifying your Savage Empire directory, not the Martian Dreams one listed in the instructions.
The Command Keys
These commands are accessed by holding down the Alt key, and typing the number on the numeric keypad. The only one which normally works in SE is Alt-213, which gives the current X,Y,Z location and the time in the game.
The others were programmed into the game, but disabled before release. F-15 Dragon wrote a program which activated similar disabled functions in the Sequel, Martian Dreams, but it will also work for the Savage Empire. You can download the patch program, MDHACK above.
The Function Keys I have found so far are listed below. Note that there does not appear to be a create item function that can be accessed by this method. Also remember that all numeric values required as input or received by using these commands are given in Hexadecimal (base 16) not Decimal.
Alt-213
Area Map, Location, and Time. Alt-214
Teleport to location (needs X,Y,Z coordinates, see List below) Alt-215
Advance time one hour Alt-222
Avatar Solidity Toggle (Can the Avatar walk through the scenery or not? You decide!) Alt-224
Teleport to NPC (See List) Alt-232
View Character Portrait (See List) Alt-233
Play Sound effect (two digit numbers required) Alt-242
Edit NPC Flags. Exact details unknown, but they vary from NPC to NPC. (For example in U6, one of LB's flags let you use the Orb of the Moons, while it might allow a new conversation response from a different character.) Alt-252
Tiles Free (Available memory?)
What's your favourite person's number?
There is one NPC whose number I have not located yet - the Wisp. There are also some numbers left blank - they are parrots found in the game. Only the individual characters are listed, not the generic tribesmen.

The observant reader may have noticed that there are three different versions of Dr Johann Spector. This is because he is encountered in three separate locations, with different dialogue options at each point.
Places Worth the Visit.
These are coordinates which either are of important locations, or of people who are outside the main village. They are given in no particular order, just in the order I thought of them. I've left the end game location off so people don't get too carried away. There is an NPC right there though, so if you really want to cheat, you can jump to her... (hint - she isn't human)
