I'm also going to go with the doom classics, IDKFA, IDDQD so many years later and they still come to mind!

~ GODMODE
In any classic Valve game was pretty good.

Or just:
~ KILL
to get out of bad situations and to avoid long death animations.

 

[IMTECH]

Warcraft 3 cheat-codes. If I had to pick a specific one, then it would probably be "warpten". Seriously, this made the game much more enjoyable in the Custom mode.

 

[fedefury]

IDDQD and AoE2 Cobra Car.
best everrrrrrrr

 

[Gam3r01]

The konami code is a personal favorite as of recently: If you tell it to an amazon echo there is a nice little easter egg.

Overall I would have to go with the SC2 cheats for money etc.

 

[AuraofVengeance]

I'd have to go with good old IDDQD

 

[giogi]

so, me with my friends begun to play cs 1.6 and i was knowing how to use cheats. they have discovered that i am cheating because i was not playing very well and i was winning almost always good times to be the best among them and have the emotions to be better that the others

I think the most fun I ever had with codes in game was in the old "ratchet and clank: size matters" on PSP. I don't even remember how to unlock them anymore, whether it was plain butt tons of bolts or achievements or giant bolts, but I managed to unlock the code called big heads or something like that. It basically made all enemies into boble heads, with heads as big as the body was tall, and it was hilarious. Hardly a cheat, because by the time you can access the codes, you already have maxed guns, armor, and wrench so it is already easy mode, but still, I found it a hilarious distraction on my second or third run through when I was hunting all the giant bolts

The best cheats were in GTA 3. My brother and I used to use the "Everyone Has Weapons" and "Everyone is crazy" cheats then try to survive the chaos.

I remember being a young boy with my NES and my father and I used to play Super C together. We could never get to far but always had alot of fun. He would never let us cheat, which I thought was "up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, a, b, a,b, select, select, start" .. anyway, one day while my father was at work I was playing WITHOUT cheating and I beat the game!! Probably the first game I had ever beat. I was so excited to tell my Dad when he got home from work. Jeez, the dissappointment. He didnt believe that I actually was able to beat the game, and swore that if I had beaten the game then I did so only by cheating. Thanks Dad, for not patting me on the back. I dont think even today, 20+ years later, that he believes I was able to beat it.. :-(

For me, the most memorable codes were in Need For Speed 2: Special Edition.

Back in 1999, i was playing NFS2:SE with my friend on same PC in split-screen mode and we used different codes to make the gameplay more fun.

"rushhour" was must have since it created traffic jams out of AI cars on the track. And for our vehicle, we used the "go18" to "go51" codes. For example, "go42" give us tall wooden box as a vehicle that was easy to flip over.

Also the engine power and weight was different for each code vehicle. If my memory serves me well, the "go45" had weak engine. It's green grocery stand. We raced in Monolithic Studios bonus track and there was one steep grade hill. On it's own, the green grocery stand wasn't able to get up from that hill. I was pushed behind from AI traffic car and managed to get up the hill while my friend was left behind. That was a lot of fun.

Friend's favorite track to race on was Last Resort while mine was Outback.

I still love listening the game OST. It brings back many good memories. For me, the main theme of NFS2:SE is 2nd best game OST of all time,

Best being the Deus Ex main theme,

One of the most memorable cheat codes I remember from back when I was a kid was the Ikari Warriors level select code. It was so long with such a short time limit, it was kind of like a mini-game in itself that I could never complete. That's why I could never complete Ikari Warriors . . it took three hours just to get to the end, and then the game would crash on me. If I could get the code to work, I probably could've saved an hour or two. Anyway, the full code was (copy-paste): Up, Down, A, A, B, Left, Right, A, B, Up, A, Down, Right, Right, Left, B, Up, Left, A, Right, B, Left, Right, A, Left, Up, A, Down, A, Right, Left, B, Start within 20 seconds or so at the start screen

Another game I remember as a kid with some fun cheat codes was Rise of the Triad. My cousin and I used to go to a website called . . I think it was happypuppy or something like that? . . and go through the dozens of codes this game had. 20 years later and I don't remember any of them, except "86me" . . which wasn't that helpful though since it caused an instant death.

My favourite way to hack/cheat is with cheat engine. There something ever so slightly exciting about hunting for the right values to modify.....
From yester-year it would have to be PANDORAS BOX in age of mythology. If you were egyptian and got the two pharaoh upgrade, you could have infinite sons of osiris XD Oh! and O CANADA, who doesn't love a Canadian laser bear?

When I was a kid I used a couple of cheats in RTS games mainly, no invincibility or something like that which would render the game boring and one sided, but mostly cheats that granted vision (whoisyourdaddy - warcraft 3, www - cossacks for example) or resources potofgold, glittering prizes, greedisgood - wc1-2-3). These cheats still kept the games fun, after i've learned how to set up a nice economy in the games i've never used them again.

 

[kireato]

Oh man, cheat codes feel like a thing of the past. There are definitely some fun memories there.

I used to play Age of empires a lot, and I remember that things could get a bit silly when we started using cheat codes in multiplayer. It all starts tame, throwing around some PEPPERONI PIZZA, but by the end we have fleets of BIGDADDY, E=MC2 TROOPER, FLYING DUTCHMAN or some other silly unit.

We didn't use HOME RUN because we were respectable, you know.

And if I'm listing so many cheats it's because, let's be honest, we never used just one. But Age of empires just had great names for cheats.

No one can beat GTA cheat codes for weapons, money and cars! Vice city, San Andreas, GTA IV and then GTA V! Cheat code game strong!

and oh, how can we forget Red dead redemption if I am a fan of Rockstar games!

 

[Giuliolio]

The best one is whatever makes physics unstable, like random kicks in someone's back and making them flyyyyy

 

[Mike Neely]

GTA5 : Invincibility Right, X, Right, Left, Right, R1, Right, Left, X, Triangle

 

[Wady2016]

What about the Missingo cheat in Pokemon Red/Blue

128 x whatever item is 6 down in your bag

Talk to the old man in Viridian city about how to catch a Pokemon

Then fly to Cinnabar island and surf up the east coast until Missingo appears.

You now have 128 of whatever item you placed 6 down. (Usually good old rare candys)

 

[Dev_wolf]

I remember using game shark on my n64 for legend of Zelda oot back in the day I personally love the sword glitch for oot back then to make it dissappear

 

[nimbian]

So many to choose from. Love the classics of the Konami code and big head modes. Then there was paintball for golden eye. "There is no cow level" from Starcraft

 

[James Mason]

Eh my favorite cheat is definitely using a trainer in MechWarrior: mercenaries to remove the weight limit for mechs so you can put 4 PPCs and maximum armor or things like 3 heavy gauss cannons on certain mechs that basically allow you to one shot any other mech no matter where you hit it.

I had the most fun with the old Quake 3 Arena console commands. Did multiplayer with a couple of friends, one of whom was new to the game. Occasionally used keyboard aliases to instantly multiply gravity when it looked like he was going to jump across something, then set it back to normal The frustration evident in his voice was totally worth it.

 

[dstarr3]

Carmageddon 2, LAPMYLOVEPUMP. Debug mode. Awesome pile of cheats in there. lol
