[edit] Cheats & Key Combinations
[edit] Abort Mission
Generally, Cuba! disables the Ctrl + Alt + Delete key combination during play. However, the player can abort a poor mission and prevent the game from saving the result by using the combination during the brief period of time when the game loads the next part of the program. When the game is next played, the aborted mission will not be on file.
