Hi guys, I'm new to this forum, though when it comes to gaming, I'm an old dog. Played Giants back when I had a P3 933Mhz/64MB GF2 MX400, I've just gotten Giants a few days back and have gotten it running with GRM installed. Now, having completed the game years back, I do not wish to play thru all the levels again (some can be quite frustrating), but I find that I can't enable cheat. Mine's the version DL'ed from GOG (Version 1.4 I think), and I did not patch it at all, installed GRM but that's about it. Is there any way to enable cheat?

Does this help?

Nope, but thanks for trying though. Those cheat codes work with version 1.0 I think, but with version 1.4, no sweetness.

I'm pretty sure the 'level select' works...

I've found that as of v1.05 (I think that is v that gog DLs) most of the cheats do not work. gimmegifts, basepopulate, basefillerup as examples. I've been looking for a way to un-update the game got years.

Unfortunately, the developers made a dick-move to remove the ability to use the in-game cheats for some arbitrary reason. The unofficial "Giants World Dominator" site basically tells anyone and everyone interested in the cheats, trainers, or whatever to STFU and/or GTFO. One guy who had been working on a jetpack trainer got banned, I believe.

I thought about going there to get help, but when I saw they were a bunch of elitest bastards who don't like people enjoying their single-player experience, I decided to hell with them.

I've also heard that the game has to be rehacked everytime you play it cause the locations of stuff like ammo and health move around every time you start it up.

I'm still enjoying the game, but I like playing these things my own way if I have a difficult time getting past a particular spot. I don't wanna unlock every level, where's the fun in that. I'd just want the occasional help with health in levels that might be tough. Or maybe I just wanna mess about. Nope, not gonna happen, unfortunately.

...sorry, I'm just kinda bitter by the way I saw that supposedly friendly and helpful dedicated fansite shoot down anyone who didn't play their way.

Further Edit: I'm not sure if it came over properly, but I don't do multiplayer. I'm one of those "relics" from the old days that feels multiplayer is just.. I don't know, unnecessary in a lot of games that seems to throw it in. I get upset when I see people who would rather deep-six the single-player in favour of multiplayer-only gaming, especially when the gane's single-player is pretty good.

So when I see people who don't even touch the single-player getting their nickers in a twist cause someone wants to play a solo game the way they enjoy it, it kind of offends me.
