You can get shields for 350 Credits to 400 Credits, depending on where you are. Go to the weapon store and click on rapid heal, and then click on YES, then instead of clicking on the rapid heal, go right of it and you are on a blank space. Now, click and you will find a shield which you didn't have before in one of your carrying squares. Though it says Shield, after one hit, it will say Shield (7). Also this shield is actually an impenetrable shield the for first fight you are in.

I call this the Hug-Your-Money Maneuver. When Red Alert is sounded, go to COMM and click on Discuss it. Then Fast Talk if it is available. If they let you go, then great. If not, click on your money bag and hold the left button down. The enemy will NOT (or is unable) to attack you while you "count-your-money." Just hold the mouse key down until you reach your destination!

As for "the programmer", that you can talk to on the street, if you listen to him, he will grant you 250,000 credits!

A guy named Donald Greddis comes up to you to talk and says he is the dialog compiler writer and gives you 10,000 credits if you listen to him.

When dealing with a potential buyer, in the process of giving them the equipment you are selling, sometimes you can pickpocket them by clicking in the area where you're supposed hand over the control node. That's free money and parts if you're successful.

When you win a fight and it lets you search the robber, before you click "search," put something (like a scattergun or whatever) in the top right spot of your inventory. Then move that item out of the top right spot to another spot in your character inventory. When you then search the dead robber (and the only empty spot is the top right spot in your character inventory) you will find a duplicate item of whatever you put there, then moved out of that spot, before you searched. If the item was a shield or scattergun for example, the new one will be at what it was before the fight.

When you get a cloaker or other high dollar item put it in your coat pocket. Go to a bar and buy 3 beers and pocket one of them. Talk to the bartender and ask to sell the cloaker when he wants to know what you want to sell. Wait at the table till he sends someone over to buy the cloaker. When it comes time to give the cloaker to the black market dealer, instead of giving him the cloaker give him the beer in your pocket. This worked with the old Atari version but was patched with the newer versions so I don't know if it will work with the emulator or not.

If you run out of fuel, you can still re-activate the cloaker and thus be rendered more or less invincible until the gas-cavalry shows up.
