Uplink Hints
The actual hint
1 of 11: To even begin the search for the Cheat Menu, you'll need disassembly software. I will not detail any such software or processes here.
2 of 11: When you've managed to disassemble the file to a form where the writing is in 'normal' form, simply search for the cheat menu. With some additional experience in hacking, you'll probably find a link directing to this section.
3 of 11: Actually, you need to figure out a hint that's nearly the solution to another secret in this game, enter the solution somewhere in the game and then press a key.
4 of 11: Hack on, and you'll find the line of 'TooManySecrets'. This is the answer to this secret.
5 of 11: You will need to enter this somewhere.
6 of 11: It's too long to be a password anywhere in the game.
7 of 11: Thus, it can be a name, or a degree.
8 of 11: You can shuffle through all the databases and banks, but you won't find anything remotely related to this. Neither will you be able to add anything that has to do with this. You cannot change your own name anywhere.
9 of 11: Thus, you will need to create a new identity with the name 'TooManySecrets'
10 of 11: The key is the usual key with which one can summon aid to just about any software.
