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

    “idclip” for Doom

    “pot of gold” for Warcraft 1

    Oh and of course, how could I forget “how do you turn this on” (x20 usually) for Age of Empires II

        Ha! I’m So glad you’re that guy. Remind me what was the warcraft 2 phrase was for invincibility. I just remember as a kid I got so good as typing those cheats phrases (that I obv DONT remember very well now) that my fingers would fly over the keys and hit enter and I realized I could type fast

          I had to look it up because I used to play Warcraft 2 before I learned English so to me the codes were nonsensical lol It’s “it is a good day to die” for god mode

          I had a bunch of sheets of paper with codes for StarCraft, Warcraft, GTA, and even game genie codes for every Pokemon game.

    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.

      I have it on a T-shirt & still try it on games randomly to see if there’s an easter egg.

    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.

      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?

    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.

      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.

    Flying car cheat in San Andreas. I don’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 haven’t touched the games in years.

    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

    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.

    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
