I don't know if it is morally wrong, but I always feel a little guilty when I foil probe AIs in SMAC.

Is cheating morally wrong?

Cheating in a single-player game is like masturbation. Sure, it may be fun, but you're only cheating yourself.
But in Deus Ex, I wanted to explore some other variants in the game story, so I used some cheats to explore that variants without the constraints of following the game mechanics. But I only did it after I had finished the game first.
Multiplayer cheating is wrong, or would you like to have people going around knowing what the opponent is precisely doing?

In single player, cheating isn't 'morally wrong'. With Civ2, I turned the cheats on, but only after I'd beaten the game many, many times. It's fun to play around with.
Now, multiplayer is a whole other story but since the poll was for SP, I won't go there.

Cheats can be fun if you want a quick game. I occasionally use the 10000 minerals/vespene gas cheat in Starcraft to speed up the game and unit production.
I'm not looking to play a real game here, I just want to kill some Zerg for an hour or so. What's immoral about that?"We are living in the future, I'll tell you how I know, I read it in the paper, Fifteen years ago" - John Prine
