I've never heard of the 'Grow old...' line.  The only Cheat I know of is
to pause the game and then type 'the best is yet to be+'  (don't include
the single quotes, and the + is the one on the numeric keypad).  After
this your Manta's and (those other ones) become impervious to enemy fire.

You can also hold down 7 (numeric keypad) and time will speed up -- useful
when traveling between islands.  I think 9 will show your current difficulty
level (65535 in cheat), and 6 makes colored blocks cover the screen.

I haven't played the game extensively (obviously since I can't remember
the names of the amph. tanks and aircraft), but the only way I've found to
destroy the enemy carrier is to enter cheat mode, find the carrier, load
one of the aircraft with missiles, and after emptying all the missiles
into the enemy carrier repeatedly fly thru the enemy carrier (thus
inflicting damage).  You can go on and reclaim all the islands, but
there is no spectacular ending (just a congrat's message)   ;(

I'd be interested in hearing about any other cheat modes out there.
Except for the impossibility of the game in normal mode, I think the
game play and graphics are really good (well ok, fast).
