Actually, the cheats never got very far.  Once I saw how the code
worked, I tended to be off doing something else :

But Apple Trek was differetn from all the other treks, none of which
ever caught my interest.  Particularly the messing with Klingons to
trick them into torpedoing one another :)

But then, almost all of my time on the II was before disk drives were
widely available, which probably accounts for a lot.  But that game
still goes on my all time favorites, with Nethack and Master of Orion
(neither available for the II).
