Morpheus message
In the Hacking engine, instead of using "GUEST",
you can LOGIN as "FREEMIND" or "COWBOYCURTIS". The system
asks if you would like to hear a message from Morpheus. If you
accept, it will tell you to press a number from 1 to 5. There
are five messages to hear.
Swordfight
To unlock the swordfight, follow these steps. Open
the Hacking program from the main menu. Open a file that has the
game completed. Note: You must have completed the game first in
order for this cheat to work; and the game file you select at
the Hacking menu must have the game completed. Type "LOGIN"
and press Enter. Type "GUEST" and press Enter. Type "DIR",
then a space. DIR should now appear in your command list. Access
the B Drive through the "DIR" command. Select TOOLS from
the B Drive. It will be locked and will ask you for an access
code. The access code consists of 1s and 0s. You must guess the
access code, as it is different each time. It is only five digits
long. Once you have access to the TOOLS on the B Drive, type all
the .EXE files (without the .EXE after them). For example, type
"DECODE" then a space. DECODE will now appear in the command
list. Repeat this for all other .EXE files in the TOOLS folder
in the B Drive. Now, access VIRTUAL on your command list. Type
in "FROZENFISH" as the password. An authentication test will
start. An image of a Chinese symbol will appear, but it will be
scrambled. The image is broken into 9 squares, and each square
will have five different choices. You must change all the pieces
so that a complete image appears. You have a limited amount of
time to do this. Once you guess a correct image, the timer will
stop and you will be taken back to the hacking screen. Look at
the top of the screen. If it says "Solution: Blue",
then the line will be traced and you will have to enter "TRACEKILL"
and then press enter as fast as possible or all progress will
be lost. Once you enter TRACEKILL, you will have to start back
at accessing VIRTUAL on your command list. However, if it says
"Solution: Red", then you will hear a message from Neo
and get access to the V Drive. Open the V Drive and get all the
commands from the TOOLS folder on your command list. Open the
ROOTSEARCH program. Now, open the ROOT folder in the B Drive and
get the two commands there on your command list. Enter the MAIL
command and type "THISISNOTREAL" as the password and type
"YES". You will get a list of phone numbers:
0019495550112
0017145550187
0012135550142
0013105550111
0019495550101
Select the DIAL command and dial "001949555010". You should
get a message from Persephone. Next dial "0013105550111".
You will get you a message from Trinity. She will give you a number.
Select PORTKEY and enter the number. She will start to talk to
you. Type "NO" to both questions and she will give you a
program called CRACK on your command list. Open it, then type
"8RAM". It should look like this: "CRACK 8RAM".
You now have access to the RAM drive. Go to DIR on your command
list and access the RAM drive. A list of folder names will appear.
Open the TRINITY folder. Get the Training command on your DIR
by typing "TRAINING" then a space. Go to your command list
and select TRAINING. On you command list, a file called SWORD.DSK
will come up. Select it. It has now uploaded the sword onto you
character in the Matrix. Quit the hacking program and select "Save
Progress". You can use the sword when you start that game
file. It can be used in any stage, but will only a[[ear when fighting
enemies by pressing [Punch] + [Kick]. You have to enter
it again when you turn off the game. Go to the Hacking program,
select that file again, select TRAINING, then SWORD.DSK.
Note: The game must be completed first as both Niobe and Ghost
in order to unlock the swordfight.
Once you unlock the sword, instead of pressing [Punch] +
[Kick], press [Action] when approaching an enemy (as
if you were going to disarm them). Instead of doing your disarm
move, you will take out the sword and slice them up, killing them
instantly.
After you have won the game on a file, complete the process of
unlocking the sword. Once done, if you open another file you can
use the sword in that file.
Multi-player mode character selections
When entering multi-player mode, you do not get to
choose which character(s) you would like to fight as. Instead,
the Matrix selects two pre-set opponents depending on which scenario/background
you choose. Note: Much like Morpheus vs. Neo in The Matrix,
multi-player mode is essentially a training ground to hone your
standard skills. Focus is unavailable for use in the Multiplayer
program. There is no background music to accompany these battles.
Below is the list of backgrounds/environments that are used in
the single player game itself, and the characters the CPU will
select upon choosing a certain background:
The Pit - Player 1: Seraph, Player 2: Ballard
The Ballroom - Player 1: Niobe, Player 2: Ghost
The Bedroom - Player 1: Cujo, Player 2: Vlad
The Atrium - Player 1: Sewing Woman, Player 2: Janitor
The Alley - Player 1: Firebird Man, Player 2: Police Car Man
There are also two other levels which are famous areas from The
Matrix film, which can only be found in multi-player mode:
The Dojo - Player 1: Niobe, Player 2: Trinity
The Subway - Player 1: Morpheus, Player 2: Agent Smith

Additional options
Go into the Hacking option and type "DIR". This
will bring up a list (System.exe, Tools.exe, etc.). Under system,
login as "GUEST". This will bring up the B directory. Go
to tools under B's directory and it will ask for a five digit
binary code. Note: This code is random each time. Enter the correct
code (such as "11001" or "10011") to access more options
such as "DECODE.EXE", "PLAY.EXE", and "VIEW.EXE".
The list of possible binary codes is as follows:
00000
