View submission: Midnight resistance cheat
Did this actually happen on the Amiga version or just the C64 one?
There's an infamous cheat on the C64 version of Creatures II where you do as described for infinite lives. It was printed in Commodore Format as the way to do it, but in actuality all you had to do was waggle the joystick very quickly. (to see a video of someone doing the wet finger thing, check out this reddit post[1]).

I ask if you're confusing the Amiga and C64 versions because the Amiga version of Midnight Resistance does not have any joystick related cheats (just words you type in, such as ITSEASYWHENYOUKNOWHOW for infinite continues) but the C64 version does have one that would be activated if you waggled the joystick quickly enough:
On the title screen, plug your joystick into Port One, then move it in a circular motion and press [FIRE] a couple of times. The border should turn grey to confirm that the cheat is now active. Plug your joystick back into Port Two, and you can now press [SPACE] to jump to the next level.

It was definitely the Amiga, I never owned a c64. Interesting correlation though, does make me wonder if I'm misremembering 2 different things, as the ITSEASYWHENYOUKNOWHOW cheat also rings a bell. I'm gonna have to reach out to my old mate and see if he's got anything to add...
