One Must Fall: 2097 Cheats and Hints (PC)

One Must Fall: 2097 is a fighting game for the IBM PC compatible, programmed by Diversions Entertainment. It has a sequel, One Must Fall: Battlegrounds.

Released in 1994 by Epic MegaGames, One Must Fall: 2097 replaces the human combatants typical of contemporary fighter video games with large Human Assisted Robots (HAR). These HARs are piloted through a physical and mental link to the human pilots; however, this is merely a plot concept, and it is never shown on-screen, nor does it factor in to gameplay. Eleven HARs and ten customizable pilots are available for play, along with five arenas and four tournaments.

Continually advance and quick kick during the battle. The combo meter will fill, allowing the fight to end in a perfect match, with a large amount of bonus money.
