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

Shift+Control+B (in the Polish version), then klapaucius/rosebud from The Sims and you could do rosebud;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;, it would error out because of the trailing semicolon, but still add money to your account, so you just held down Enter until you were satisfied with the amount of cash in your account

Flying car cheat in San Andreas. I don’t know what the buttons are, by my muscle memory is so ingrained that if I start it I can usually get it after 1/2 attempts. Even if I haven’t touched the games in years.

San Andreas Max Health + $250k. Saved me in the warehouse mission in Las Venturas lol. I hope I'm getting this right:

R1, R2, L1, X, LEFT, DOWN, RIGHT, UP, LEFT, DOWN, RIGHT, UP

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island.

To get the hidden multiplayer mini-game screen (if you have a second controller you can play with a friend): at the map screen, hold Select and press X X Y B A.

I have it on a T-shirt & still try it on games randomly to see if there's an easter egg.

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Alternatively, Rosebud;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;! - Sims 1 for those times you wanna have a rich family from the start and move_objects on for when God needs to be their butler.

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks 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!"
