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

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 never beat the game but I'll always remember using Red5 in star wars dark forces 2. And the level skip code of course.... "Deeznuts"

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

TENPINTS on Shadow Of The Beast 2. Turned off damage so that your only blocker to reaching the end of the game was boredom.

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

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.

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.

I was never particularly bothered about the skulls in the Halo series, except Grunt Birthday Party. The games just aren't right without that occasional pop and cheer.

Nothing rolls off the tongue quite like Genie - Jafar - Aladdin - Abu... gets you to the last level of the SNES Aladdin game

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)
