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

Are those Sonic codes?

[–] space@reddthat.com 2 points 4 months 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.

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.

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

BARACUDA for level select in Sonic 3D Blast.

Alternatively, CALLACAB for Vector Man.

[–] christian@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 months 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.

DULLARD πŸ˜…

Also a bonus code I won't forget:

ADE-NAI-WRA-LKA

You can all guess what games they are from.

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.)

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island.

To get the hidden multiplayer mini-game screen (if you have a second controller you can play with a friend): at the map screen, hold Select and press X X Y B A.

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.

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.

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.

Star wars battlefront 2 2005 unlimited ammo and health on pc

Have to hover your mouse over a little box that blends into the background image on the instant action page and type the codes in. I still believe that game is better than all battlefronts afterwards too
