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

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.

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.

Original Mortal Kombat blood code:

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.

[โ€“] GeekMan 1 points 2 hours ago

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)

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

Flying car cheat in San Andreas. I donโ€™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 havenโ€™t touched the games in years.
