CyberStorm 1 Easter eggs and cheat codes
August 1996 reveal: Try naming a bioderm "Elsa". It seems that one of the programmers has a dog named Elsa...
September 1996 reveal: Multiplayer version of the "Elsa" Easter egg. Try typing "Elsa" in the chat line while you're in the invite screen in multiplayer mode. (Then ask your opponents what happens.)
October 1996 reveal: Try right-clicking on some of the bioderm facility screens in the background while you're in the Medvat.
November 1996 reveal: We have a means of creating a multiplayer game with more than 12 units. First, load up one of your single-player forces with more than 12 units. Then, name one of the HERCs on that force Big John. When you go to a multiplayer battle with this force, all units will be there!
December 1996 reveal: Name a bioderm Kurosh to have him transformed into Kaesar's Genetic Matrix.
Reported by Bobby Yen: If you order Tarsus to self-detonate his Herc, he will refuse and disable the self-detonator.

Please do not steal these game patches by hosting them on your own site 
. Link here instead or, more preferably, to my blog post. If I can't determine how popular they might be by the traffic, then why should I make more?
