To do: Would it be better to name this Command-line parameters/options/arguments/switches?
Command-line parameters are options for the initial execution of software. These options are commonly supplied in a command-line window or shortcut, and always come after the executable's file name. Available parameters, syntax, and effect all depend on the game or software they are used with. A common use for these options is for running games in debug mode or different resolutions.
Example
C:\Program Files\Game\Game.exe -firstoption -secondoption
LEGO Racers
| Argument | Effect |
|---|---|
| -alphatrans | Force use of alpha transparency |
| -novideo | Disables startup videos |
| -horzres | Set horizontal resolution |
| -primary | Force use of primary display device |
| -vertres | Set vertical resolution |
| -window | Run in windowed mode (16-bit depth only). However, it minimizes if it is clicked out of. |

| -reducepromeshes | Reduces the number of LOD meshes |
| -reducesamples | Unknown |
| -reward | Disables Chief's animation on the reward screen |
| -showversion | Displays the game's version number (V.0.121) in the bottom right corner |
