So...The Terminal (SPOILERS)

[Conciliator]

Hesitant to put too many spoilers in here, but I was able to access a game that I think is not in the list of 50 by inputting a code into the Terminal, and then in that game was sort of a portal to another little game. Wonder how deep that rabbit hole goes?

[AD ReM]

Sounds interesting! Did you get this code in-game or out-of-game?

[Queen Ruby]

What's the code!

[madsen]

Considering how elaborate some of the things you could do in Spelunky was (eggplant runs, etc.), then I have no doubt that there's a LOT to be discovered in this collection.

[Conciliator]

Code I found is 'EXEC-MIAS'

[Conciliator]

You can also use 'EXEC-____' to access all the 50 standard games. For example, 'EXEC-CAMO' will take you to Camouflage

[Conciliator]

Other stuff I'm finding:

Seems like you can do HELP-____ for anything you can do EXEC-____ for.

Help will show you other commands, like LIST-____ and INFO-____

If you do LIST-MIAS, it shows that it's the 51st game and slots 52-67, which all say NONE

if you do LIST-####, it will show you the list starting at that number. So for example, you can do LIST-0067 and it will show you slots 67 through 83 (all appear to say NONE)

[Conciliator]

There's an EDIT command and a MOVE command, but so far whatever I try it on, it just says that command is disabled.

EXEC-0000 takes you to the main menu.

[Conciliator]

Further down the rabbit hole...

The main menu is called MAIN. So for example, EXEC-MAIN will take you to the main menu.

If you do HIST-MAIN, it says this:

"The UFO Library Project was spearheaded by Mr. Nemuru and executed by Greg-Milk"

Entering GREG-MILK into the Terminal displays a chevron symbol (the same one that seems to always appear on a different part of the screen anytime you go to the Terminal during the game) along with the following binary pattern:

0000000000
0000000000
0000000000
0000000000
0000100000

Speculating: 5 rows of 10 values, i.e. 50 games. In 5 rows, same as the main menu. Assuming the default chronological order, the 1 would point to the 5th game in the last row, which is Mini & Max.

I found EXEC-MIAS while playing the first game. You have to open the terminal on a specific screen and the code will be shown in the box of the right of the screen.

Sometimes when you open up the Terminal on specific screens in other games, you will get a little message. I've seen 3 of them so far, but I have no idea what they mean.

EXEC-COLO. Prototype of color racing game?

That seems to play in EXEC-MIAS if you use the disk on the PC.

The second code for unlocking the meta game is HIDE-HOLE. You find it through following the hints. There is then a second prototype that starts the next hint chain.

This info is solid gold, but I was wondering... how were you guys able to figure out all these secret commands?
