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

ABYXABYXBABAYXXABYX - infinite thermal detonators in one of the Star Wars SNES games

Everylittlethingshedoes - unlock all magic in Warcraft 2

(extra money in SimCity 4)

[–] Dwayne@feddit.org 1 points 1 day ago

This and also how to get $999,999 in Sim City for SNES/SuperFamicon in the tax screen at the end of the first year.

Impulse101 for Half-Life to get everything from the very beginning and create havok for the scientists.

And of course the Konami Code

Shift+Control+B (in the Polish version), then klapaucius/rosebud from The Sims and you could do rosebud;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;, it would error out because of the trailing semicolon, but still add money to your account, so you just held down Enter until you were satisfied with the amount of cash in your account

Setting the name to COOPERTEAM in Syndicate (DOS)

[–] urata@lemmy.world 13 points 3 days ago

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.

[–] space@reddthat.com 2 points 2 days 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.

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.

Flying car cheat in San Andreas. I don’t know what the buttons are, by my muscle memory is so ingrained that if I start it I can usually get it after 1/2 attempts. Even if I haven’t touched the games in years.

[–] VerilyFemme@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

San Andreas Max Health + $250k. Saved me in the warehouse mission in Las Venturas lol. I hope I'm getting this right:

R1, R2, L1, X, LEFT, DOWN, RIGHT, UP, LEFT, DOWN, RIGHT, UP

Just looked it up, I knew that one was etched into the folds in my brain.

[–] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 5 points 2 days ago

Down up left left A right down to get the cheat menu on Mortal Kombat on the Sega Megadrive.

On Revenge of Shinobi set the number of shurikens on the Options screen to 0 and wait 20 seconds. The zero turned into an infinity symbol, giving you unlimited shurikens.

[–] miracleorange@beehaw.org 4 points 2 days ago

Surprised nobody mentioned "motherlode".

Something like 50k simoleons in The Sims 2. Absolutely essential to any save file.

[–] Psymonkee@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

HeyGabbaGabba for Descent. Tried it in Decent 2 and it knocked me down to 1hp :D

[–] RogueBanana@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 days ago

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.

[–] 4shtonButcher@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

ROBINWOOD (I think) in AoE II

Minecraft: Open to LAN -> allow cheats

bb.moveobjects

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.

[–] BigPotato@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Alternatively, Rosebud;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;! - Sims 1 for those times you wanna have a rich family from the start and move_objects on for when God needs to be their butler.
