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

    Skitchin

    At the warning screen, B A Down A Start Start (Spells BADASS)

    Activates cheat mode, and then you can use the password screen to input cheats. But the only one I used is MONEY which starts you with 10,000 dollars or something.

      Mortal Kombat for me also, but 3, on the Sega. BADLADCRUD

      It was almost a poop joke and I was young, don’t blame me. I don’t even really remember what it did. Maybe unlocked Noob Saibot?

    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 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.

    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.
