What is that one video game cheat code you'll never forget about?

I'll start us off with the classic "Explode All Cars" cheat from the classic 2004 game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, as that is one that I remember using a lot for no rhyme or reason:

R2, L2, R1, L1, L2, R2, SQUARE, TRIANGLE, CIRCLE, TRIANGLE, L2, L1

NOPOLICEPLEASE (GTA3)

[–] space@reddthat.com 2 points 1 week ago

tuck tuck tuck and arrrrwalktheplank are two of my favourites. The first summons a monster truck in AoE3, and the second has a large pirate ship jump into the battle in Free Space 2.

Actually there is a set of missions in FS2 that can only be reached by cheating to become invincible during an event you were supposed to die I think.

I find it neat when companies put in assets and extra content most players wont find without trying to break things a bit.

Doom had IDKFA that just basically gave you all the weapons and keys. I was a pretty young kid when that game was popular and all I wanted was all the guns.

It’s not a code, per se, but the method to get unlimited money on SimCity for SNES is forever in my brain. (I didn’t always use it but sometimes, I just wanted to make a cool city and not do the tax and budget stuff.)

Minecraft: Open to LAN -> allow cheats
I really thought I discovered a massive bug with that one when I was little lmao

[–] adarza@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 weeks ago

the first 'cheat code' that came to mind here isn't for a game:

Select β€’ Play β€’ Select β€’ 30 β€’ Select

[–] KickMeElmo@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

BARACUDA for level select in Sonic 3D Blast.

Alternatively, CALLACAB for Vector Man.

[–] christian@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 weeks ago

Vectorman had a ton of those. ABRACADABRA would restore your HP. BALL and BALD would both display coordinates in the screen corner, one of them had more precision than the other I think. That was more annoying that useful for someone just playing but I remember the codes anyway.

Also a bonus code I won't forget:

ADE-NAI-WRA-LKA

You can all guess what games they are from.

Contra on NES.

Skitchin

At the warning screen, B A Down A Start Start (Spells BADASS)

Activates cheat mode, and then you can use the password screen to input cheats. But the only one I used is MONEY which starts you with 10,000 dollars or something.

I was never particularly bothered about the skulls in the Halo series, except Grunt Birthday Party. The games just aren't right without that occasional pop and cheer.

I never beat the game but I'll always remember using Red5 in star wars dark forces 2. And the level skip code of course.... "Deeznuts"

I was going to use that exact cheat! The other one I used was to explode cars if you even barely tapped one

[–] mcqtom@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

EREIAMJH to fly in Jedi Knight. I always thought it's just the name of some obscure Star Wars creature. But it's actually a reference to the movie Brazil.
