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

Contra - NES

[-] 4am@lemm.ee 13 points 5 days ago

Actually it works in a whole bunch of Konami games, and of course some modern games have thrown it in as an homage.

aegis for Age of Empires II. Instant building, gathering, research, etc. And of course marco for revealing map and polo to remove fog of war. cheese steak jimmy's for extra food and lumberjack for extra wood. I always struggled to manage those two resources. But even more importantly, how do you turn this on, for that cool siege sports car.

Man, I played a lot of AoE as a child and teenager.

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)

DIPSTICK to enable chests in rise of the trial. SEEYA for god mode where the protagonist just walks around with his hand of God yawning at how boring it is when there's no challenge. CUJO for dog mode.

Also, LONDON and NODNOL to enable/disable fog.

The one from the sims I it was “katching” one and the other was “motherlode” maybe the spelling is not correct but I will never forget those codes.

[-] urata@lemmy.world 13 points 5 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.

greedisgood for 1k gold and wood

I also found out that it didn't make them invincible, but rather multiplied their damage and damage reduction by 100x
