Cheats engrained in your memory
I was playing an old favourite of mine from years back and without thinking about it i entered a couple of cheat codes, they seemed to be engrained in my memory, I was just wonderng what game cheat codes from past years you have stored away in your memory banks
I imagine everyone has the followng stored away, Doom codes
IDKFA
IDFA
IDDQD
or these for Duke Nukem 3D
DNKROZ
DNSTUFF
DNITEMS
DNWEAPONS
I have more stored for safe keeping but do you guys have codes engrained on your memory

Re: Cheats engrained in your memory
Sonic 3D on the Mega Drive was B A Right Right A C Up Down A, I don't know why but I still remember that one. And not really a cheat as such, but Llamatron on the ST had a thing where if you paused it just as you died (to a chant of "OHHHH") then he'd finish the phrase and it became "OHHH censored!" This was highly amusing when I was a kid.

Wonderboy and the Dragon's Trap - WE5T 10 and then 0 recurring all the way to the end - can't remember what it does - has the game 99% complete with just the last boss to fight I think?
Re: Cheats engrained in your memory
3D Starstrike on the spectrum, pausing the game and then typing 'I wanna cheat'
Looking back on it, and the type of game it was, all rather pointless.

I was sure ABACABB for the blood code would have already been mentioned (I'd forgotten about DULLARD though!)Hitman_HalStep wrote:as mentioned sonic 1+2,also DULLARD for mortal kombat for the mega drive.

Sonic 1&2 of course, and leaving the cursor over 'shuriken' in the options on Revenge of Shinobi for a minute or so for infinite shuriken.

When you think you've got problems you don't really need,
They're maybe not as bad as they seem,
Cos in a world full of misery, with hatred and greed,
Your problems are another man's dream.

Re: Cheats engrained in your memory
The following cheats seem to be sticking in my mind forever. Both of them are for master system:
3V35NLLE : level select code for Bubble Bobble
212UD: blood code for Mortal Kombat
The last one has in fact a rather funny story. I bought the game at it's release and a friend of mine came over to get his ass whooped obviously. As we waited for the title screen to appear, we where so excited that we both hammered on our control pads and suddenly we seemed to have activated the blood code. Months went by while we repeated the same ritual again and again, with an occasional reset of the console now and then, as we had no clue what the correct code was. Afterwards, I spotted the code in a magazine, which ended our "smash those control pad" days

Re: Cheats engrained in your memory
Well I've got an IDKFA t-shirt so I always remember that one. Another for Doom was IDCLEVxx.
Also, what about MLI for Wolfenstein 3D.

Apart from some of the ones mentioned already:
Symbol Shift to walk through walls on Spectrum Gauntlet
Enter the passcode as TRYX on Gates Of Zendocon for the Lynx to get the stage with the flying digitised heads of programmers and enter MAND on Chip's Challenge to get the Mandlebrot Generator.
