Since I've just completed (well, almost) my thorough cheat sheet
for Martian Dreams, I thought I would organize all my notes from
Ultima VI that follow the same vein and record them. This allows me
to discard many scraps and place everything on a few handy pieces o'
paper. Because someone else may benefit, I've decided to post it.
Many people know about the "secret" cheat keys and menu in Ultima
VI. For those who don't, I'm about to reveal them. If you do not
want spoilers for the game or anything else which may ruin your fun,
please feel free to skip this message. For those curious, read on.
All right, there are three keys you need to know. To access
them, press and hold the ALT key while pressing and releasing the
three digits (detailed below) one at a time. Don't be too long about
it, or the game will complain. You'll get the hang of it.
o 2-1-3 -=> The first two digits are your karma, the next four the
time o' day (in military format), the next three your X
position, the next three your Y position and the last
digit your Z position.
o 2-1-4 -=> Teleports you to any X, Y and Z location.
o 2-1-5 -=> Wait an hour. For that certain NPC...
That does it for the cheat keys. The secret menu can be accessed
by talking to Iolo. Mention "spam" three times and follow that with a
"humbug". You should then be presented with a handy menu. Exploit it
as you will.
To kind of get you started, here is a list of useful items that
you may create. Information about each item is also presented in the
following format: ITEM NUMBER WEIGHT ABSORBS/DAMAGE. Some of these
elements may be missing for those items for which they don't apply.
Many thanks to Kurt Bentzen for compiling this, as I didn't have the
urge or the patience. It's alphabetized for your convenience and
because I think it's neat that WordStar can do it.

There's really a heck of a lot more useful stuff in the game.
I've listed what I think is important up to item number 180. I know
there is much more beyond that which would be helpful to create.
Again, the adventurous are welcome and encouraged to add to or correct
this list. Write-in your particular favorites!
Well, the only other little tidbits I can offer you are a
multitude of teleport locations. They are not in any particular
order, so search this list carefully. With these around, you should
be able to get to just about anywhere important in the game (as well
as a few simply "scenic" places) with just a few keystrokes. They are
listed as X, Y and Z coordinates, in that order.
