blar

here is a little fun game

the first cheat code that comes to my mind is the classic "up down left right ba start"

what cheat codes appear in your mind instantly when asked

Redjake

all of the codes for Mortal Kombat 3. I usually don't "cheat" in games until I've beat it, but Mortal Kombat is one of those games that cheating is ok. Because it's MK.

IDKFA

'god' is too obvious to be a cheat code

Echodork

Up up down down left right left right B A start.

There is no SELECT in the goddamn Konami code, no matter what Gameskins shirts would have you believe.

The second code I think of is:

JUSTIN BAILEY
------ ------

stonegrody

R1,R2,L1,R2,L,D,R,U,L,D,R,U

Vice City - Weapons Cheat

Definately the Contra code. The select is just so that you can do two players. Also, the Street Fighter II (SNES) code to get the to play with the bosses.

Orodinn

buddamus - sim city 2000

down R up L Y B - street fighter II

asaris

up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, baba start

Not sure I'm remembering that right. Let me check the thread...

Are you sure it's only one ba ?

hirosada

up up down down left right left right b a select start. Yes it's all about the two player Contra goodness.

Kodega

A, B, A, C, A, B, B. Mortal Combat blood code for Sega Genesis.

Coppertop

Wasn't select used to play a two player game? *edit - Like Contra (as mentioned above)

But yeah, the Konami code is the first I think of as well.

UUDDLRLRBA(Select)Start

FngKestrel

yeah, Konami code definitely. Full power ups in Gradius, as well as the 30 lives in contra.

Yes, there's a select in it for 2 players.

Right after that, ABBA for Ikari Warriors. (continue)

Anti-cheat code: idkfa in Heretic

MontanaXVI

uuddlrlrba start

that is the code that will get most of the votes on here

who the hell did not play the living piss out of that game back in the day?

NeverBorn

"The code" ..

Kodega

I have to give honorably mention to Shining Forces 2 codes for being probably the biggest pain in the ass code to enter, ever. I still remeber sitting in front of the Genesis for 10-20 minutes trying to get the damn codes to work yelling and cursing like a madman the entire way. Sometime me and my brother would even make a contest of it to see who could make it work first.

During Sega Logo.

Secret Configuration Screen.
Up, down, up, down, left, right, left, right, up, right, down, left, up, B.

Or the even more dreaded battle select.
Up, down, up, down, left, right, left, right, up, right, down, left, B, C, B, C, B, C.

Good times.

kutulu

Actually, that is the all weapons code

The Magic

Sonic 3 thing:
Something like up up down down up up up a b start

I remember it because I never could do it.

tooblekane

two. up up down down left right left right b a start (contra, obviously), and a b a c a b b .. the blood code for the genesis version of mortal kombat.

kiwiman

It seems IDDQD is more popular than i thought. Now, can anyone remember the noclip code for Doom 1?

tooblekane

IDSPISPOPD?

Rlyss

Hehe yeah I know, I meant that the second code I remember is 'god' from Quake 2 but since it's more of a command than a code, I let it be I remember them all from back in the day, IDKFA, IDDQD, IDSPISPOPD, IDBEHOLD, LIM, etc etc etc

Scheme

iddqd from doom2 :E and lumberjack from either warcraft 2 or age of empires two, cant remember which

Also Impulse 101 for half-life

Reese

Power Overwhelming
There is no cow level - Guess where these came from Many hours wasted on this game
Operation CWAL

The Contra Code for Gradius 3 blows up your ship but if you use L and R instead of Left and right it gives you powerups

I remember a few more but those are the first that come to mind.
