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

xaxbcc was my password for years when I was in school

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.

ultimate mortal Kombat 3, Sega Saturn

TENPINTS on Shadow Of The Beast 2. Turned off damage so that your only blocker to reaching the end of the game was boredom.

Contra on NES.

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.

On secret of mana 2 (snes), hold L R Start Select then reset to go into sound test menu. Most Square games of the time had L R Start Select as a soft reset shortcut.

impulse101 on half life for all weapons.

LIM on Wolf3D for full health and all weapons

tgm on elder scrolls 4 and 5 for god mode

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

Up, down, left, right, A & start at the same time. I still sing the jingle when sonic 1 starts

[โ€“] Lennnny@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That's the one I remember (but as "all three buttons and start") but I have no clue what it actually did.

[โ€“] RatzChatsubo@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

Technically it's: hold A, then press start
