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

I had San Andreas on PS2 as a kid, only played it on PC a little bit as an adult; but, the fact that you type the cheat codes on a keyboard means they kinda make words, so i forgot the PS2 ones and i remember some PC ones.

Works for Sonic 3D Blast on Genesis and probably the other games as well, but BARRACUDA (b a right right a c up d a) for certain things. I'd like to think it's debug mode, but I don't fully remember since it's been more than a few months since I last played and tried on either 3D Blast, 1, or 2.

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.

Up down left right Y B X A ..

I'm not even sure that that's right, and I'm not even sure what game it's for.

SNES definitely. Maybe Street Fighter II Turbo? Done at the CAPCOM logo it'd make a sound, then- you could play as the bosses? Maybe?

Or it's the movements for Zangief's spinning piledriver, heh. (It's not)

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

I also remember idspispopd or something like that but not sure what it was for haha

Flying car cheat in San Andreas. I donโ€™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 havenโ€™t touched the games in years.

[โ€“] VerilyFemme@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

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

Just looked it up, I knew that one was etched into the folds in my brain.

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.

[โ€“] BigPotato@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours 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.

Surprised nobody mentioned "motherlode".

Something like 50k simoleons in The Sims 2. Absolutely essential to any save file.
