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

TENPINTS on Shadow Of The Beast 2. Turned off damage so that your only blocker to reaching the end of the game was boredom.

The one from the sims I it was β€œkatching” one and the other was β€œmotherlode” maybe the spelling is not correct but I will never forget those codes.

aegis for Age of Empires II. Instant building, gathering, research, etc. And of course marco for revealing map and polo to remove fog of war. cheese steak jimmy's for extra food and lumberjack for extra wood. I always struggled to manage those two resources. But even more importantly, how do you turn this on, for that cool siege sports car.

Man, I played a lot of AoE as a child and teenager.

Ooh is this for Prince of Persia?

[–] raptore39@lemm.ee 2 points 2 days ago

The first Sonic game. At the main screen, up, down, left, right, hold A, press start. You could jump to the final zone, if you were so inclined.

My username. If you enter urata as your name when you play Castlevania III for NES you start with the mage character (Sypha Belnades) available from the start.

Also iddqd for god mode and idkfa for all weapons in DOOM because that game was way too hard when I was a kid.

Starcraft

Cheat: power overwhelming

Effect: invencible units

The Protoss would chant the words in such a cool tone and way.

Imagine beating an entire Zerg wave with one unit.

[–] thawed_caveman@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

I had San Andreas on PS2 as a kid, only played it on PC a little bit as an adult; but, the fact that you type the cheat codes on a keyboard means they kinda make words, so i forgot the PS2 ones and i remember some PC ones.

On secret of mana 2 (snes), hold L R Start Select then reset to go into sound test menu. Most Square games of the time had L R Start Select as a soft reset shortcut.

impulse101 on half life for all weapons.

LIM on Wolf3D for full health and all weapons
