One Must Fall 2097 is a DOS fighting game with large robots. Mostly a more "humane" way of fighting since it only damages objects rather than causing bloodshed.
Secret Pilot#
Major Kreissack is not playable under normal circumstances. However, decades after the game's release, a cheat code has been found to play as him in two player mode!
In the two player pilot select screen, press ALT+E+D (all keys must be held simultaneously) at the same time. Player 2 will instantly select both Kreissack and his Nova, and Player 1 will auto-select whoever they were highlighting.
If Player 1 backs out to the select screen, you'll see some amusing placeholder text for Kreissack's bio!

Unused Text#
Major Kreissack has text in case he's the player in one player mode, although the replies from the other fighter tend to be generic. The fact that he is supposed to be an unselectable pilot in-game are pointed out in his quotes, among which quips of hacking and also certain codes are present.

Sound Test#
In the main menu, press ALT+S+F (all keys must be held simultaneously). This adds the sound test to the configuration menu, where you can select a given sound using the arrow keys, and play the sound with Enter. Up to 72 sounds may be played, although the test goes up to 299.
Debug View#
During the game, press ALT+F+T (all keys must be held simultaneously) to add a line of text to the bottom of the screen detailing information about the current game state.

Easter Egg#
In a very tongue-in-cheek way, a hidden message can be found on the bottom-left corner on the title screen. The font's color is (0, 0, 4) in RGB, making it very slightly stick out from the black used for the pedestrian.
