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

Use any ship you want in a mission in Star Trek: Tactical Assault for the Nintendo DS.

Up, Down, Left, Right, Select, Start, B

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.

Star Wars Battlefront II PS2 invincibility:

Pause

Hold L2/R2

Up, up, up, left, down, down, down, left, up, up, up, left, right

[โ€“] space@reddthat.com 2 points 7 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.

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

Everylittlethingshedoes - unlock all magic in Warcraft 2

BEWAREOBLIVIONISATHAND - something in Turok 2. I think all weapons?

The first Sonic game. At the main screen, up, down, left, right, hold A, press start. You could jump to the final zone, if you were so inclined.

I never beat the game but I'll always remember using Red5 in star wars dark forces 2. And the level skip code of course.... "Deeznuts"

[โ€“] root@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Also from San Andreas (or maybe Vice City) R1 R2 L1 R2 left down right up left down right up. It was used for different weapon sets and I think you could change the dpad combo at the end for different sets (eg left down right up left down down down)

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.

[โ€“] gofsckyourself@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Also yodajammies and imayoda

I was going to use that exact cheat! The other one I used was to explode cars if you even barely tapped one

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.
