In Response To: Long Lost Marathon 1 and 2 Cheat Code (James Burke)

: All the recent talk of Marathon cheats reminded me of an ancient issue
: Computer Gaming World that included "1001 Cheats & Tips". On
: page 76 the 485th (4+8-5=7) cheat is for Marathon I and II (Macintosh),
: "At the new game scene (sic) press Command-Option, then start a new
: game. Then type BUIHAVENOCLUE. Type slowly-type a letter, then wait two
: seconds before typing the next letter."

: The first half of the cheat of course is well known but what are the origens
: of the second half? A quick google search of "BUIHAVENOCLUE"
: turns up 13 pages that reference the same cheat. I have included scans of
: referenced page and a close-up of the specific cheat. For reference they
: are from the February 1997 NO.151 issue of Computer Gaming World.

I remember that! From the old Bungie Boards, I think. I'm pretty sure it was a joke. (if the "I have no clue" wasn't a dead giveaway. The BU is for Bungie - IIRC, a play on some Doom cheat codes that began with "ID").
