God mode in Duke Nukem 3D, "dncornholio". Come get some...

Down up left left A right down to get the cheat menu on Mortal Kombat on the Sega Megadrive.

On Revenge of Shinobi set the number of shurikens on the Options screen to 0 and wait 20 seconds. The zero turned into an infinity symbol, giving you unlimited shurikens.

“idclip” for Doom

“pot of gold” for Warcraft 1

Oh and of course, how could I forget “how do you turn this on” (x20 usually) for Age of Empires II

ABACABB

Shift+Control+B (in the Polish version), then klapaucius/rosebud from The Sims and you could do rosebud;!;!;!;!;!;!;!;, it would error out because of the trailing semicolon, but still add money to your account, so you just held down Enter until you were satisfied with the amount of cash in your account

Razzle dazzle root beer

XYZZY, Plough & Y2

(From the Colossal Adventure, played on a multi million $ mainframe, when at uni. Probably in the 5-8 yrs before Doom timeframe)

ROBINWOOD (I think) in AoE II

Name your character Totoro for invincibility in all Fromsoft games.

Surprised nobody mentioned "motherlode".

Something like 50k simoleons in The Sims 2. Absolutely essential to any save file.

Flying car cheat in San Andreas. I don’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 haven’t touched the games in years.

ABYXABYXBABAYXXABYX - infinite thermal detonators in one of the Star Wars SNES games

Everylittlethingshedoes - unlock all magic in Warcraft 2

BEWAREOBLIVIONISATHAND - something in Turok 2. I think all weapons?

007-373-5963 Strait to Mike Tyson

Put an N64 controller in my hands, and I've still got the muscle memory for all the fatalities in Mortal Kombat 3 Ultimate Edition. As well as Shang Tsung's entire move set.

Oh and HALIFAX? !YNGWIE! to unlock the Naboo starfighter in N64's Rogue Squadron.

San Andreas Max Health + $250k. Saved me in the warehouse mission in Las Venturas lol. I hope I'm getting this right:

R1, R2, L1, X, LEFT, DOWN, RIGHT, UP, LEFT, DOWN, RIGHT, UP

Gothic's "Marvin". And, OFC, dooms IDDQD and IDKFA 😊

hesoyam and impulse 101

B-A-R-R-A-L as the name of a new save in Donkey Kong Country to start with 50 lives. Also the Konami code obvi

GABBA GABBA HEY

The PANZER code in GTA Vice City to invoque a tank. I typed that shit like crazy when I was a child playing in the good ol' cyber cafés

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.

Call Cousin Vinnie

It gave you a boatload of money in SC3K

Star Wars Battlefront II PS2 invincibility:

I wasn't particularly wowed by the gameplay of the sims 4, but I really enjoyed the building mode, especially with the freedom to put stuff exactly where I wanted, collision and autosnapping be damned.

Porkcharsui in the original pc version of Grand Theft Auto. If you named your character this, you had an overlay with coordinates so you could find your way easier, you'd get all the guns and the possibility to toggle a kind of sped up mode.

Oh and howdoiturnthison in Age of Empires 2 to get an AC Cobra with machine guns

ABBAABBA. Skip level code for Aladdin on the Sega Genesis.

Edit: and the Zelda name cheat for NES!
