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

You can all guess what games they are from.

ABBAABBA. Skip level code for Aladdin on the Sega Genesis.

Edit: and the Zelda name cheat for NES!

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.

[โ€“] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 1 points 2 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€“] apotheotic@beehaw.org 3 points 3 days ago

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!"

[โ€“] GeekMan@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 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)

Power overwhelming ... Glittering treasures.

Warcraft 2

[โ€“] BambiDiego@lemmy.world 4 points 3 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 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

[โ€“] 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.
