I am one of those people who uses cheat codes on every game they own. :D I tend get really annoyed by the games that I like that do not have cheat codes ( :mad: cough PC version of Star Wars Battle Front II cough :mad: ).

So for the rest of you cheaters out there, what is your most memorable cheat code? Please include what the code does, what game it's from, and what platform.

Maybe I will eventually make a poll out of the most posted codes, but until then...

I could create a huge list of codes here but my most memorable is probably:

iddqd-invincibility-DOOM 2-PC

I'm old school so the infamous Konami code:
up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, b, a, start

Worked on every Konami game from the late 80s.

I don't know if these are exactly cheat codes, but some of the ones for the Sims I find easy to memorize.

More money: klapaucious and rosebud

And, of course, the most memorable one that takes off the censors: move_objects on

For Sims 2 the code for more money: motherlode

I remember when you had to hold down the enter key to keep getting money in the original Sims. I would put a paperweight on my keyboard and leave it there for hours. Good times...

NFL Blitz:

5z-1b-4a up: unlimited turbo
3b-2a left: faster running
a bunch of others that I don't even think about when I put them in.

Every code from Sonic was cool, like debug, and super sonic.

All the Goldeneye codes were silly, they were so ridiculously difficult.

Starcraft: "There is no cow level" - Instantly ends the game in a win.

I didn't really use it as much as "Power Overwhelming" or "Show me the money" but it's still a good reference to Diablo II.

The original Doom: idspispopd: smashing pumpkins into small piles of putrid debris; changed to idclip in Doom II; allowed you to walk through walls (no-clip mode). idkfa gave you all weapons and full ammo; I won't translate.
Also (i think it was) trex in Need for Speed II let you be a dinosaur. Its cornering wasn't that good though.

my fav is the XYZZY (Shift) (Enter) (Enter) for minesweeper gives you the little pixel in the upper left corner that tells you if its a mine or not.

Old school rules!

Laugh if you must, but the only cheat code I remember is Down-Back-B for Shaq-Fu on Sega Genesis.
Depending on what character you had, it would make you do a pretty cool special move.

Also there were some pretty spiffy codes for Daytona USA for Sega Saturn. (yes, I own that system.. one of the few who actually bought it.)

One of them let you drive as a horse instead of a car, and another one made your car's wheels disappear, yet somehow keep rolling.

Good times had back in the day.. :D

Oh, speaking of racing games, in the original driver there was a cheat code to get your car on "stilts" and your suspension was like.. 5' tall. It was awesome for cruising straight.. but one wrong hard turn and you were flipped.

That game was invaluable for it's lesson to kids back then to not buy and/or race SUV's or you would go flippy flippy.. :p

What about the cheat codes for Duke Nukem 3d / Atomic Edition:
DNkey - gives you all keys to open All Doors
DNlife - Gives you Immortality
DNguns? - Gives you all the weapons
DNammo - Gives you unlimited ammo

Somebody refresh my memory its been a solid 6 years since I've touched Duke Nukem. There was one I used to use for Command & Conquer - Red Alert and that was the Unlimited Money (PC Verison)
dncornholio was God Mode
dnstuff gave you everything (ammo, keys, guns)
dnscotty let you transport(beam) to other levels

Duke Nukem 3D was definitely an entertaining game.... for the first few levels, then, IMO, it got old. At the time, however, the graphics were absolutely jaw dropping.

I'm old school so the infamous Konami code:
up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, b, a, start

Worked on every Konami game from the late 80s.

We should have closed the thread at this one. I would contend for every kid growing up in the 80's this and the mortal combat finishing moves made you THE COOLEST :)

(Yes I know many of you were born well after this, but you havent played video games until you have to blow the dust out of a cartridge or toss down your "power pad" to play your 8-bit color games!)

I honestly though that this was what the thread was going to be about, I am fairly certain without this code it is impossible to beat Contra for NES

I used that code for everything! I never ran out of TMs. I also caught a few lvl 100 pokemon with that glitch.
I don't really go out of my way to find cheats because I like beating the game the old fashioned way, but there are some cool ones out there.

Up, Down, Left, Right, Hold A and press Start.

I guess this isn't exactly a cheat code, but it's the first thing I thought of.

On the first stage of Super Mario 3 for NES, if you hold down on the white platform near the end of the level, you will fall behind the background and can run through the rest of the level to get a warp whistle.

Good times.
greg... that was acutally the THIRD level of SMB3 on the NES... and after you got the whistle it opened up a lock box house as well...

=D

It's the same way with the original PC Rayman game. If it weren't for the 99 lives code (trj8p) I never would have beaten it. It was still pretty hard, trying to get all the cages so you could unlock the last level (no cheat code for that :mad: ), but I eventually did :D .

On a (slightly) related note: Rayman is awesome (hence the name) and...

I CAN'T WAIT FOR RAYMAN RAVING RABBIDS ON PC!
