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

hold: r1, r2

press: up, down, left, right, right, left, down, up

I remember the cheat but not the exact game lol. Definitely Sega Mega Drive though.

ABRACADABRA (R for d-pad right, D for d-pad down).

Going by a Google search it could've been Vectorman or Ecco 2. Or both because I played both a lot back then.

Ratchet and clank 3, the cheat code is told to you in a cutscene:

"Aren't you going to unlock his secret costumes? Here, I'll put in a cheat code. Up up down down left right circle square square... Haha! Look! He's in a tutu!"

Aspirin. I learned how to type in GTA as I couldn't figure out how to pause the game and type it so had to be quick.

I wasn't particularly wowed by the gameplay of the sims 4, but I really enjoyed the building mode, especially with the freedom to put stuff exactly where I wanted, collision and autosnapping be damned.

[โ€“] BambiDiego@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Uhhhh not to be that guy, but um, ackhshually, "power overwhelming" was for StarCraft and it was "Glittering Prizes" for Warcraft 2

[โ€“] Jhogenbaum@leminal.space 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Ha! I'm So glad you're that guy. Remind me what was the warcraft 2 phrase was for invincibility. I just remember as a kid I got so good as typing those cheats phrases (that I obv DONT remember very well now) that my fingers would fly over the keys and hit enter and I realized I could type fast

[โ€“] BambiDiego@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

I had to look it up because I used to play Warcraft 2 before I learned English so to me the codes were nonsensical lol It's "it is a good day to die" for god mode

I had a bunch of sheets of paper with codes for StarCraft, Warcraft, GTA, and even game genie codes for every Pokemon game.

[โ€“] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 1 points 3 days ago

Works for Sonic 3D Blast on Genesis and probably the other games as well, but BARRACUDA (b a right right a c up d a) for certain things. I'd like to think it's debug mode, but I don't fully remember since it's been more than a few months since I last played and tried on either 3D Blast, 1, or 2.

[โ€“] GeekMan@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Up down left right Y B X A ..

I'm not even sure that that's right, and I'm not even sure what game it's for.

SNES definitely. Maybe Street Fighter II Turbo? Done at the CAPCOM logo it'd make a sound, then- you could play as the bosses? Maybe?

Or it's the movements for Zangief's spinning piledriver, heh. (It's not)
