So I figured out what the key was to get the abes oddsey -ddcheat thingy to work
Heres how to do it:
1. Create a shortcut to abewin.exe
2. Go to its properties and add the command line -it_is_me_your_father
3. Hold the shift key, and press enter/double click abewin.exe keep shift held until the main men loads
4. Now load a game/start a new one, press tab and away you go, also trying holding scroll lock, and pressing 2 when tab mode is on to view the brain/animation states
Heres a screenie to prove it works
