When I finally got there I was so excited I actually called up my friend just to let him know of my success. His response was an unimpressed “So what? I’ve got sims in the biggest house in the game - because I used cheats.” He then explained to me how to enter the the appropriate cheat code into the game and within the hour the surviving Goth’s were millionaires and I had learned a vaulable lesson about working hard and staying on the straight and narrow.

Jedi Outcast for the GameCube took up so much space on the memory card, I feel like the developers knew how annoying it would be to keep the saves, so they added cheat codes to 100% the game and unlock everything for multiplayer.

[@temcabbage1713]

Actually, its worse, because there is a major chance that the “cheat code” will be banned. Screw you and your hard earned money.

[@David_Hypnos]

I think microtransactions are ok to a degree. Really I think paying for extra content should be limited to DLC episodes and an in-game store maybe; never necessary to advance. But cheat codes are fun too and so long as they’re kept to single-player modes only I don’t see the issue. Some of my best memories were using cheats to get cool stuff or skip to whatever level I want but so many games today demand you play the way they want you to.

From the useful Stud x10, Invincibility, or Fast Force/Build/Interaction to the hilarious Helium Mode, Disguise Mode, or Daisy Chain, I love the different cheats the games have had. Some of them, along with some characters and vehicles, could even be unlocked, without paying a stud, by entering Cheat Codes, while others had to be unlocked by finding the corresponding Red/Pink Brick and then purchasing them with studs. I really loved the games where you could unlock all the Stud Multiplier cheats, as well as Stud Magnet, using codes, making getting True Jedi or whatever a snap, as well as making it quick and easy to get enough studs to unlock every other cheat, character, and vehicle in the game.

You cant mention sims money cheats without mentioning the original rosebud chest in which the amount of colons and semi colons you entered increased how much money you got at once. I distinctly remember spamming those buttons until my fingers hurt...

[@Xhumed]

I still remember the money cheat for Theme Hospital, that had you enter numbers on a fax machine. Also, every GTA III engine games i ever played, i ended up using the "All the weapons" cheats on, because using a minigun to take out police 'copters is just too much fun.

I would have thought Infinite Ammo would've been a given for this list. I'm disappointed. This was not only a cheat for a number of games, but it was a bonus for games like Resident Evil.

[@tylertallant4577]

[@greigmccormack6252]

I heard that in early consoles where you couldn't save your progress, game developers put these codes in so they could test the game more easily.

[@xXZombieHunter0802Xx]

Enter the Matrix's cheat system was insanely in depth. You basically hacked the game with a built in DOS window.

[@sars910]

For me, I first found out cheat codes were a thing when I played GTA Vice City for the first time. And the first cheat that I learned was PANZER, which summoned a goddamn TANK. Really made evading a Six Star death sentence a breeze.

[@drewmaguire8231]

Moon gravity + Tank + shooting behind you=infinite flight

[@conformistbastard9842]

Is that the PC cheat or something?

[@piratepiratesman4310]

Also, entering the panzer and 6 ⭐ cheat turned it into competitive multi player, seeing how long you could go before dying and then passing the controller

[@skelmirsdottir]

Yeah, well, of course it spwans a tank, seeing as Panzer is the german word for tank ;)

[@beardyrecordbox4069]

PORKCHARSUI in the original GTA and SLUGPACE from Lotus Turbo Challenge on the Mega Drive were the cheats I remember most fondly.

[@apollofox388]

Ahh the sims money cheat! In Sims 1 it was Rosebud that got you 1,000 simoleons. Also, when I was young I would play a lot of GTA: Vice City, and there was a cheat to make cars float on water (I'd use this to get to other areas of the map bc I would rather drive around than play the story at the time) and also a cheat to make it forever rainy. There were a lot of cheats for that game. Me and my brother had the whole list written down

[@TheRupertLitterbin]

3:21 and though Sonic could run faster than sound itself he couldn’t outrun death......I laughed way harder than I should have 😂😂😂

[@DodderingOldMan]

Ah yes, iddqd was the first code that came to my mind, largely because I still use it to this day, thanks to all the excellent and EXTREMELY DIFFICULT map packs that are regularly released for old-school Doom. I actually have a minor obsession with finding the secret levels in every MegaWAD (32 level map packs) and I usually do so with god mode enabled. For me it's more about exploration than combat. Up, Down, Left, Right, Hold A and Press Start was the second one that came to mind, but actually if we're talking about Sonic games, I might have put the code from Sonic 2 where you had to play sounds from the sound test in a numerical order that turned out to be the release date of the actual game. I can't actually remember what the code was (it started with 1,9,9,2 I think) but the cleverness of it blew my tiny young mind at the time.

I think goldeneye had some of the best cheats ever. Loved the big head mode with enemy rockets and made the enemies super fast. It was fun without the rocket mode too. They couldnt even get more than one shot half of the time cause they moved too fast! Lmao good times

[@ThatOtherNathan]

What, no mention of the force ghosts from Lego Star Wars 2? They were some of the most OP characters in the game, easily unlockable with a few button presses.

[@Vamptonius]

Ahh, good ol' IDSPISPOPD. A code indelible in my mind. As were the walls after using it.

[@kimberlymacgregor]

I remember using the konami code with the first sonic game. It made the level score into random characters and not count for anything, but it was fun being able to turn into into any creature and populate the level with as many of them as you wish. You could also turn into a ring and spawn ridiculous amounts of rings that you could then collect, but as with the score they did not count for anything. It was great entertainment for us as kids.

I had endless fun with the paintball code in Nascar 97. If hit, your car would be floating but still going full speed, until the turns, where you smack the wall and barrel roll down the back stretch. This caused plenty of arguments in the summer of 98.
