I finally gotten round to playing Gangland after a long time since I purchased it. However, I noticed a couple of people, while surfing around the web, had problems activating the cheats. And here's why, because it can be quite obvious to miss.
When keying in the cheats, you need to add in the word "cheat" alongside the cheat code.
For example, the cheat to remove the "Fog of war" is "kidiseeeverything".
Correct way to enter the cheat -
"cheat kidiseeeverything" - minus the " "
Wrong way to enter the cheat -
"kidiseeeverything" - minus the " "
Press the "~" button to bring up the console.

Very minor tips
Right-click to move, talk, interact, lay orders
Hitting the "B" button automatically rotates the camera at the 4 various angles making life 100% easier.
Hitting the "P" button pauses the game. During pause, you can scroll the map and issue some commands, like attacking an enemy or moving to a spot, but they will only be active once you unpause the game.
Each city type contains only certain businesses/buildings.
Little Italy - Restaurants, Arms dealers, Distilleries, Garages, Import/Exports, Jewelers, residential areas (level 2&3).
The Docks - Restaurants, Arms dealers, Distilleries, Garages, Warehouses, Pawnshops, residential areas (level 1&2).
Suburbs - Almost the same as The docks, but missing some and all buildings are typically at lousy levels.
The Strip - Restaurants, Arms dealers, Distilleries, Jewelers, Hotels, Fashion Boutiques, Casinos, residential areas (level 2&3), offices (same function as residentials), Bank (NPC, can't be owned), Musuem (NPC, can't be owned)
Every city comes with the basic police stations and Churches.
All very minor stuff, but if you are lazy to read the manual, this can suffice for a start.
