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

Porkcharsui in the original pc version of Grand Theft Auto. If you named your character this, you had an overlay with coordinates so you could find your way easier, you'd get all the guns and the possibility to toggle a kind of sped up mode.

Oh and howdoiturnthison in Age of Empires 2 to get an AC Cobra with machine guns

Put an N64 controller in my hands, and I've still got the muscle memory for all the fatalities in Mortal Kombat 3 Ultimate Edition. As well as Shang Tsung's entire move set.

klapaucius - money cheat for Sims 1

[–] Zero22xx@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 days ago

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!"

[–] BambiDiego@lemmy.world 4 points 2 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

[–] Jhogenbaum@leminal.space 2 points 2 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

[–] BambiDiego@lemmy.world 2 points 2 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.
