Classic PC Game Console and Display Reference
GameConsole.cc is a technical reference for classic PC games and their original engines.
About
This project collects practical command references for game consoles and developer modes, together with methods for removing HUD/crosshair elements, disabling texture filtering, and configuring widescreen resolutions and FOV.
The focus is on original games and original engines whenever possible. Remaster-only commands are intentionally avoided. EDuke32 and NewDark are documented where they are explicitly part of the target runtime.
Console references
Each reference covers console access, commands, cheats, debugging facilities and important build-specific notes.
Presentation guides
Scope
- Prefer original-game commands and behavior.
- Do not use remaster-only commands as references.
- Keep source-port or engine additions clearly identified.
- Distinguish native commands from config edits and wrappers.
- Document limitations rather than invent unsupported commands.
