rosebud

aegis for Age of Empires II. Instant building, gathering, research, etc. And of course marco for revealing map and polo to remove fog of war. cheese steak jimmy's for extra food and lumberjack for extra wood. I always struggled to manage those two resources. But even more importantly, how do you turn this on, for that cool siege sports car.

Man, I played a lot of AoE as a child and teenager.

Impulse101 for Half-Life to get everything from the very beginning and create havok for the scientists.

And of course the Konami Code

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.

DNCASHMAN to make it rain money in Duke Nukem 3D

Porkcharsui in the original pc version of Grand Theft Auto. If you named your character this, you had an overlay with coordinates so you could find your way easier, you'd get all the guns and the possibility to toggle a kind of sped up mode.

Oh and howdoiturnthison in Age of Empires 2 to get an AC Cobra with machine guns

furious the monkey boy

FROTZ

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.

ROBINWOOD (I think) in AoE II

The one from the sims I it was “katching” one and the other was “motherlode” maybe the spelling is not correct but I will never forget those codes.

genie jafar aladdin abu

Fuck that lava level.

Original Mortal Kombat blood code:

ABACABB

Call Cousin Vinnie

It gave you a boatload of money in SC3K

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.

klapaucius - money cheat for Sims 1

DNNOCLIP

Doom had IDKFA that just basically gave you all the weapons and keys. I was a pretty young kid when that game was popular and all I wanted was all the guns.

It’s not a code, per se, but the method to get unlimited money on SimCity for SNES is forever in my brain. (I didn’t always use it but sometimes, I just wanted to make a cool city and not do the tax and budget stuff.)

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.

As others have already mentioned, IDKFA for Doom and didn't it work in Doom 2 as well?

I only ask because when ID Software released Heretic, a swords and sorcery style Doom game, I remember typing in IDKFA, expecting the same results. It was the Doom engine after all. Except typing in the classic code kills you instantly!

Another isn't strictly a cheat code. On the old 8bit computers the UK, you could enter some programming code to change the memory before loading in a game. (This is over simplified.)

Because of the altered memory, it would effect the game in some way. E.g. infinity health or lives.

I found a listing in a magazine which you could type in to help with the ZX Spectrum version of Batman: The Movie.

In this platform game, with the cheat, when a bad guy tried to climb a ladder, they would freeze.

This was very helpful and worked wonderfully all the way through the game. That was until you reached the very end whereupon the Joker was on a rope ladder attached to a helicopter.

The code interfered with the end of game boss in a way it wasn't expecting and the game would crash.

Thanks.

Name your character Totoro for invincibility in all Fromsoft games.

Star Wars Battlefront II PS2 invincibility:

Pause

Hold L2/R2

Up, up, up, left, down, down, down, left, up, up, up, left, right

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.

Poweroverwhelming

Radiofreezerg

LEAVEMEALONE (GTA VC) HESOYAM (GTA SA)

the first 'cheat code' that came to mind here isn't for a game:

Select • Play • Select • 30 • Select

Up down left right right left down up

BARACUDA for level select in Sonic 3D Blast.

Alternatively, CALLACAB for Vector Man.

Donkey Kong Country

B A R R A L - 50 lives

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.

SLXPLOVS

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)

Black sheep wall

Aspirin. I learned how to type in GTA as I couldn't figure out how to pause the game and type it so had to be quick.

mpkfa God mode for Blood.

NTHG THDG DCRT DTRK

bb.moveobjects

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.

EREIAMJH to fly in Jedi Knight. I always thought it's just the name of some obscure Star Wars creature. But it's actually a reference to the movie Brazil.

ILM

PORNTIPSGUZZARDO All acievements and $500,000 in Sim City 2000. You could do it over and over for unlimited money.

Fanny magnet in vice city.

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.

Agoodblasteratyourside Mostimpressive

Star wars battlefront 2 2005 unlimited ammo and health on pc

Have to hover your mouse over a little box that blends into the background image on the instant action page and type the codes in. I still believe that game is better than all battlefronts afterwards too

Glittering prizes

XMNFB - The unlock all code for Turok Evolution on Xbox.

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.

Razzle dazzle root beer

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)

DULLARD 😅

Also a bonus code I won't forget:

ADE-NAI-WRA-LKA

You can all guess what games they are from.

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.

I was going to use that exact cheat! The other one I used was to explode cars if you even barely tapped one

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.

R2 R2 L1 R2 Left Down Right Up Left Down Right Up.
