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
WC3:
WhosYourDaddy - invincible units, buildings, and one shot the enemy
GreedIsGood X - gives X gold and lumber
GTA:SA
HESOYAM - cash, hp, vehicle repair (on top of my head)
AEZAKMI - locks wanted level
UZUMYMW - a pack of weapon, IIRC no. 3 of 3
BAGUVIX - unlimited health
FULLCLIP - unlimited ammo
thereisnospoon
For GTA SA I remember chittychittybangbang to make your car fly.
Up, Down, Left, Right, A, Start - Sonic The Hedgehog.
howdoyouturnthison - Age Of Empires 2.
Impulse101 for Half-Life to get everything from the very beginning and create havok for the scientists.
And of course the Konami Code
Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right B A Start
You missed half the code! UUDDLRLRBA
And <select><start> if you’re two player
Yep brain fart nice catch
and create havok for the scientists
“ACK! Well. I seem to be seriously wounded.”

Put an N64 controller in my hands, and I’ve still got the muscle memory for all the fatalities in Mortal Kombat 3 Ultimate Edition. As well as Shang Tsung’s entire move set.
Oh and HALIFAX? !YNGWIE! to unlock the Naboo starfighter in N64’s Rogue Squadron.

And the most powerful one:
bind w kill
ABBAABBA. Skip level code for Aladdin on the Sega Genesis.

DOOM: IDDQD - god mode, IDKFA - all weapons / items
SimCopter - I’M THE CEO OF MCDONNELL DOUGLAS unlocks all helicopters
Superpower multiply
Rosebud for money in the Sims

didn’t play much og sims, but sims2 (and later, iirc), motherlode gives more.
i also had a few custom items i could drop in to a house, too.
They also had “kaching” or something similar instead of rosebud in Sims 2 I think. But it was only 1k or 5k unsure. Motherlode was much more ye
Or motherlode
Also “move objects on”
Just gonna delete these bills here… Hey why not the whole mailbox?
I also once had a sim make enough garden gnomes to fill every single tile of the street… Then he kicked one. 😂
motherlode
Konami code, natch
“up up down down left right left right B A B Start”
Contra - NES
Actually it works in a whole bunch of Konami games, and of course some modern games have thrown it in as an homage.
Isn’t it just ↑↑↓↓←→←→BA<start>? No second B?
IDKFA, and many others
IDSPISPOPD … and I even remember what it abbreviates… why?
Smashing Pumpkins Into Small Pieces Of Putrid Debris
Idk why it has also stuck with me, it’s a really cool cheatcode
Something to do with getting the chainsaw if I recall correctly but it never worked for me, or on whatever version of the wad I had.
This is the one I use to prove my old nerd cred, lol
IDDQD
IDCLIP
The konami code
I have it on a T-shirt & still try it on games randomly to see if there’s an easter egg.
It works on my kids’ Fisher Price controller, game boy, and switch
iddqd
idkfa
idspispopd
I always preferred idfa, so you’ll actually still get to play the whole level looking for the keys.
rosebud

Or is it ;!;!;!;!;!;!;! ?
The second
motherlode
I haven’t played this game in 2 decades, was a kid the last time I used it… This is the comment I was gonna leave
