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
The konami code
klapaucius - money cheat for Sims 1
Up, Down, Left, Right, A, Start - Sonic The Hedgehog.
howdoyouturnthison - Age Of Empires 2.
motherlode
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.
Surprised nobody mentioned “motherlode”.
Something like 50k simoleons in The Sims 2. Absolutely essential to any save file.
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.
ROSEBUD
Call Cousin Vinnie
It gave you a boatload of money in SC3K
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!”
ROBINWOOD (I think) in AoE II
How do you turn this on ftw
HESOYAM
GTA:SA extra health and money.
Also GTA:SA
CHITTYCHITTYBANGBANG: All cars can fly
“up up down down left right left right B A B Start”
Contra - NES
Actually it works in a whole bunch of Konami games, and of course some modern games have thrown it in as an homage.
IDKFA, and many others
IDSPISPOPD … and I even remember what it abbreviates… why?
