List of single player cheats
From StarCraft Wiki
In the single player mode of StarCraft, players can input specific phrases and words in the chat dialog box, which have a variety of effects. If entered correctly, the desired effect immediately takes place and the message 'Cheat enabled' appears on the screen. Permanent cheats can be simply disabled by re-entering it in the chat dialog box.
[edit] PC version
The cheats featured in StarCraft include many pop-culture and StarCraft related references. Below is a list of cheats, their affects, and their references. Most of these cheats affect the computer player also. For instance, if the player uses the fast build cheat the computer also gains that benefit.

[edit] StarCraft 64
StarCraft 64 uses a different set of cheats. However, after you beat the mission you used the cheat on, instead of saying "Victory" or "Defeat," it says "Cheated" in its place.
| Input | Effect Produced |
|---|---|
| In the Jacobs Installation mission, the cheat can be collected by moving (not attack-moving) Jim Raynor to the right, just behind the entrance to the installation, until he finds an orange civilian; this must be done quickly. The civilian will promise to give the cheat. Follow the civilian until they disappear and give you the cheat. Once you unlock All Upgrades, select one of your units. Its stats will be at level 1. To make it a level 3, go to "Cheats" and turn on the All Upgrades code, then turn it off. Go back to one of your units and its stats will be at level 2. Do this one more time to get it to level 3. | All upgrades |
| In the Amerigo mission, there is a cage full of critters near the Zergling pen. Send Infested Kerrigan to the bottom left of the pen to get the cheat. | All Research |
| In Into the Darkness, near the beginning, go down the hall until you get to the stairs. Do not go down the stairs -- instead turn to your left and proceed down the hall. The adviser will tell you to turn back. Go back a short distance, then go back toward the dead end to get the cheat. | Open Tech Tree |
| Defeat the Protosscampaign | Invincibility |
| In Legacy of the Xel'Naga, after the Corsairs attack at the beginning of the mission, touch the white flag to unlock the cheat. | Remove Fog of War |
| In Patriot's Blood, exit the second computer beacon room with the four civilians. There is an Ursadon in a nearby cell. Open the cell door and when the Ursadon asks for a hug, move all the units into the cell to surround it and press B. | 1000 minerals and Vespene gas |
| In Vile Disruption, save two Hives, then follow a path down to the right. Touching a data disk there unlocks the cheat. | Build All |
| To reach the Dark Origin secret mission, beat The Reckoning in less than 25 minutes. Then beat Dark_Origin. No cheats may be used, otherwise beating the missions won't count. | Unlocks Dark Origin |
| Beat the Zergcampaign (and unlock all other cheats). | Unlocks Resurrection IV and grants Infinite Mana. |
