Terminal

[Queen Ruby]

What's in it! Did anyone find any codes yet?

[AD ReM]

The only thing I know at the moment comes from this thread, the author mentioned there that after entering some code he got into some game that probably does not belong to this collection of 50 and there was a portal there?

WOW okay!!!

I found a code, it's basically a cheat code that showed up in-game. Entering GRAV-GUNS at the terminal starts up Vainger, but you have all the upgrades and powerups. Saving is disabled, and there's a little icon on the start screen to show that.

There’s also SLOW-DOWN

I haven't tested all of them but almost everything will send you to a variant (harder or easier) version of an original game:

GOOD-SPUR
GRAV-GUNS
PLAY-FAIR (Hot Foot)
MAKE-GLEE (Party House)
VIPS-ONLY (Party House)
TEST-LENS
BENE-DIKT (Mortol II but you can only play as Warrior, Engineer, and Gunner)
BEAN-DRIP
WEAK-TOWN
ALFA-BEST
TROT-TERS
STAR-BALL
EXEC-HOVR (Prototype version of Campanella)
MEGA-BELL
SIDE-SHOW
BENS-MODE
GOOD-GIRL (Fist Hell but you start with a dog that _might_ be invincible, not sure.)
HELL-FIST (Fist Hell, but your characters have maxed stats.)
(HELP-LIST says "Bad Parameter" instead of "Invalid Code" so I suspect there's something there, or it's part of the underlying engine, which would be funny)

HELP-LIST does work if you switch list with different abbreviations for game names

This is a great clue for a deep rabbithole. There is something there.

The other Terminal thread with spoilers has a lot more if you don’t want to puzzle it out for yourself.

It's not a clue; it's just how the terminal works. The first four letters are the code (command), the second four are the parameter (game). HELP is a valid code, but LIST is not a valid parameter. So it says 'bad parameter.'

In other words, every valid code is a Command + the abbreviation for the game. HELP-GOLF is valid, LIST-MAIN is valid, but HELP-LIST is not.
