Conker's Bad Fur day was better
the tanks in gta saga
When the Konami Code appeared in the movie Wreck-It Ralph, I wondered how many got the inside joke about it at the time.
I love the tank cheat in Grand Theft Auto. It made you feel more powerful than any crime boss in the game. Also, I never knew you could actually play as the washing machine in Banjo-Kazooie.
the Tank + Low Gravity was great.
When the turret was facing behind it could be used to propel you around the map.
I miss the pedestrian riot cheats from the old gta games was fun to arm everyone with guns and rpgs and then make them riot
Yes total chaos the city burning and everyone going crazy killing each other and trying to get you was so great and funny
Just don't save the game!
Hecks yeah!
Riot Mode and Pedestrian Weapons was the best, add to it the "Score Counter" code and that was how we used to do a play-and-pass when the crew was hanging out.
There was a game by Rockstar games back when gta3 came out on ps2 called "State of Emergency", and it was literally just riot mode from gta but without cars. And not as open of a world
that game was not made by Rockstar Games but they are the ones who release it when it was made the second one was not released by Rockstar at all but another company did

Thank you so much for taking the time to do this!
God Mode, also known als Pussy-Mode.
Every gamer, either through social osmosis or some outside force, somehow knows the code up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, Start.
Also…… B,A,B,A,up,down,B,A,left,right,B,A,start
Even Disney depicted it ten years ago.
To this day, I cannot watch Lara Croft combust without exploding into laughter.
the Konami code is so iconic it's straight up embedded into pop culture as a whole. Wreck-It Ralph referenced it, it's on T-shirts...
also I'm apparently in a rare minority that never really did DK mode....I was more of the invincibility, all guns, infinite ammo and paintball mode guy
I’m so happy that they included Justin Bailey code. Metroid was my childhood
I remember be so surprised unknowingly unlocking the DK Mode in GoldenEye. Back then I never used the cheat options in the missions.
I remember using the tank cheat combined with the flying cars cheat in GTA. You could turn the turret around and use that to boost yourself miles into the air
As a kid, I always thought that was one of the best cheats ever lol
@@kabluey_louie1718 As an adult, I think it's one of the best cheats ever.
NAVARONE from GTA 2 in the PS1 is the cheat code i remember the most. Back then it was so cool to get all weapons in the game, including the amazing flamethrower and the purple raygun.
Unlocking Spider-Man in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 that was an awesome and unexpected cheat.
I've never heard of this game, but cool!
I remember seeing a purple lightsaber cheat from Ratchet and Clank Up your Arsenal right after you beat the game. It was the greatest cheat I've ever known and I enjoyed it so much!
UP, UP, DOWN, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT, B, A, START

007 was my first experience with a cheat code lol wait is the game genie for Nintendo a cheat code
I used to play it on 1v1 w my dad
He hid in the bathroom vents
While I had the golden gun
The real cheat in 007 was anybody who picked Oddjob in multiplayer.
@@Olkv3D ( on 1v1)
DK mode + just fists = fun
It’s disappointing that you didn’t add the game genie on the list
8:05 that was actually a pretty badass impression 😎
The all guns cheat in Goldeneye is also an amazing sheet although I guess it's not really a famous One unlike the DK mode. It's so cool to start a mission with every single weapon that the game offers and you'll see ones that are just not normally in the game like the regular shotgun as opposed to the automatic shotgun that you get at statue Park and tavern, but also a taser that never appears anywhere in the game.
Someday I would like to unlock the all weapons cheats in perfect Dark because I consider perfect Dark to be a huge improvement over GoldenEye.
Also perfect Dark had their own version of a DK mode cheat but they just called it big head mode.
The pink acid boots master cheat for Alien Trilogy for PS1 was also pretty damned sweet.
I was waiting for this one
I knew about Mike Tyson Punch out, Tony Hawk 2 moon physics, Goldeneye DK mode, GTA Tanks, Doom no clip mode, Sonic debug mode, Doom God mode, Konami code. I did not know about Zelda's 2nd quest until recently.
It’s a glitch in the software not a cheat, but I like the fact that two players can use the same character in Mario Kart Wii due to this. Makes the game more fair even if it wasn’t put in the game on purpose
One of my favorites back then was in MK2 where you had to hit uppercuts after uppercuts until the toasty guy pops up then you hit Down start and the screen would stop send you to goro's lair to fight human smoke , oh man
TOASTY!
Don't forget the reptile fight in mk1
@@fly-guy-ry was that fight at the bottom of the spike pit bridge stage?
It's not necessary a cheat code but a possible glitch in software. For the early Mortal Kombat story modes (1-4) you could just spam one move to get a flawless victory. Whether it was an uppercut, leg sweep or just spamming "Get Over Here!" endlessly it seemed to always work.
That and the danged sweep-kick.
I did not know there was a cheat code in "Mortal Kombat".
If Konami code isn't #1 I swear to god
Ikr!
Lol..I was just saying that. This list would have been null n void if it wasn't #1
I’d never heard of the debug mode for Sonic the Hedgehog. Thank you for sharing it.
Me neither.
I still remember the tyson password after 30 years
Missed opportunity with Pokemon: this game had several good ones. Also the cheat codes to the Disney games were good because most of those games were difficult.
Simon the Killer Ewok - Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds Simon the Killer Ewok appeared in the 2001 LucasArts video game Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds, where he could be accessed by typing the cheat code "Simonsays" in the game's chat box. After the code is entered, Simon would appear on any stretch of land that the player is overlooking. He was a lot of fun, especially when you have multiple of him :P
Tank Cheat! Tank Cheat! Oh my god, hours of fun!
I remember in GTA 3. My friend and I would put in "Dodo Cars" and "Tank" cheats. Aim the tank gun backwards and keep firing. You will achieve and maintain air speed velocity. FLYING TANK 'nuf said.
Doesn't the realistic saber combat also make your lightsaber do damage to anything it touches, regardless of whether you're attacking?
Still quite sad when you think about all of these different games (and the cheat codes) that are sooo nostalgic. And in 20, probably 10, years it won't be as recognisable amongst the public anymore... :(
OT: Thanks for still making videos like this WatchMojo, still lafter so many years active, you still know how to reach your first audience group!
Looking forward to watching all of these favourites when I'm older!
This seems pretty much all console driven, but there were a few arcade cheats worth noting in the same era. Street Fighter 2 had several for Guile for example, such as the phantom throw or the game lock (ax kick both middle buttons) and the "star to star" 4 strike combo. Mortal Combat had several too, like Johnny Cages infinite kick combos. But these were all arcade (mame) cheats or hacks.
I love these kinds of cheats!
Oh my god! The Konami code! That's what I have tattooed down my right shoulder! Around 6 years ago, at my bachelor's party, me, my brother, and my groomsmen decided to get matching tattoos because of tequila-fueled reasons. That code is what we all got. I was too wasted to remember what it was and too embarrassed to ask.
"No! What kind of sick **** gives a man exactly thirty lives?"
I like God mode on Elder Scrolls Morrowind and Oblivion. Just need to get the actual Elder Scrolls and with a few tricks you can become unstoppable. 😁
It's probably good to note that only The Sims 3 (including their console versions) and The Sims Medieval will allow you to have 99,999,999 Simoleons. The rest of Sims PC games will only allow 9,999,999 Simoleons max and most console Sims games even less than that.
That sonic cheat back on the MegaDrive. Aaah memories
Aezakmi, Baguvix, Jumpjet and there goes 3 hours of my childhood just roaming around and bombing npcs
I knew the Konami Code would be #1. Though I rarely play Contra with it now.
I was upset that the NES upgrade years ago included Contra 2, not the original, and no code... disappointed in all you people...
@@mikememine1423 What do you mean?
Not you, but I mean the programmers that brought out the NES classic in 2016 or 2017... original Contra should have been there, not Contra 2... just saying...
@@mikememine1423 Oh.
Why no Missing No. from Pokemon ? I mean it is "only" a glitch, but what you can do with it almost makes it like a cheat. And many people still remember that !
It’s a glitch. So the factor of what it does isn’t a cheat, it just messes with that slot where it glitches extra items. That’s a big difference between it cheat.
i think when it comes GTA, the phrase HESOYAM is the most famous cheat phrase. but that phrase is only known in SA and not other GTAs so i guess that's why they pick the Tank cheat over it.
The Invincibility Code from the R-Type series beginning with R-Type Delta which is now evolved with more cheats of the same code in R-Type Final. Do they have that as well in R-Type Final 2?
As an Aussie I can say I’ve never heard any Khunt call their swimmers as bailey/baileys 😂 not even me old folks have heard it
Not really sure if GameShark or action replay cheats would count but my favorite cheat was being able to steal trainer Pokémon from trainer battles. I would steal the Ace Pokémon from major battles.
I saw the list and before even clicking on it I knew the Konami Code had to be the number one lol. Now question: Did the code ever include "select"? I swear I remember some code for a game being up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, select, start.
@@bacchatusdesiderium603 oh ok, glad to know something did have it though, thank you
The bmx bunny hop cheat in GTA San Andreas was the best by far.
For as long as a player holds a controller, we shall respect the code. Never forget Konami; never forget. -Ancient proverb of the Great Game Genie.
One of my favorite things to do with the tank was combining it with the fly cheat
Heck yeah!
Have the turret facing behind it.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
@@Olkv3D yep lol ah fun times
I'm from Australia and it's the first time I've heard bailey being slang for a swim suit.
I'd add setMindTrick 4 to the Jedi Knight one, as a kind of 10.5 entry, possesing enemies then making them shoot all their comrades before having them leap to their deaths while not very Jedi is very funny, or is that just me? #2 the Master System version had the blood code as well 2, 1, 2, Down, Up I had lots of fun with that back in the day
Pokemon cheats be like: You just started the game, a wild Rayquaza appeared and you catch it with a Master Ball and you are left with 98 of them
Ok .. who thought of the Contra code when they read the title ? 😂
Before watching, I just want to nominate the SNES Double Dribble three-point shot that would never miss from a certain spot above the arc. It wasn't a cheat code per se, but if you knew the secret and the other kid didn't, it was lights out quick and they had no clue how to defend it.
AS THE LATE GREAT WWE HALL OF FAMER EDDIE GUERRERO SAID, "IF YOU'RE NOT CHEATING, YOU'RE NOT TRYING"! 😂😂😂
Mumbo once transformed me into a washing machine without any cheats, he said that was a mistake then performed the correct transformation. I believe this is a random and quite rare event, as I don't remember hearing this from anybody else. I was amazed that they included the transformation as official in the sequence.
Ahh yes the good old days where you could find different better ways to beat games and leading to the birth of game genie and game shark. Now those are deemed wrong and they want us to play like normal I say keep putting in cheats cause you never know when the next great game coder will appear and they will say it started when I found some cheat codes in my old games. Will you do a vid on how videogames will advance in the future and what about Mortal Kombat and street fighter being over 30 years old.
That Sonic the Hedgehog entry gave me an idea. Take Super Mario Maker and turn it into Sonic the Hedgehog Maker
Didnt mention the super mario bros when you can get 100 lives by bouncing a turtle on the 2nd to bottom step.
YESSIR!!!
I do appreciate the attempt to bring back the Tank in GTA 5 by introducing the Kanjhali, but it just isn't the same
Me and my father used to play video games. I used to beat him on Mortal Combat by using the cop to shoot and throw grenades. I only beat him because I am a button pusher and figured out the sequence by accident.
A really fun game shark code for Parasite Eve to keep your custom made gun for the Chrysler building replay.
The Konami Code and Mortal Kombat code better be at the top.... upon finishing video. They are. List is now High Value approved
The cobra car cheat in age of empires 2 is so much fun
theres 2 rumored cheat codes i never got confirmed that may have been myths but idk. one was that in Tekken 2 you could get Lei to use his gun. The other was a special attack in Marvel vs Capcom that includes every single character in the game. were these real or bs?
Goldeneye and Rogue Squadron I played on N64 as a kid.
Lol seen perfect dark and knew it be insanely good
Impulse 101 and Impulse 9 in the console window for Half-Life couldn't be beat.
Starcraft? Operation cwal? Food for thought? Power overwhelming? FTW.
Didn't know Little Mac's coach was Stanley Hudson from The Office. 2:42
9:00 Did he just say beating the runaway level? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I played "GTA" when I was little and didn't know there was a cheat in the game! That game was so much fun! I didn't know there was a cheat in "Sonic the Hedgehog 2" or in any other games on this list! There are some games on this list I'm not familiar with. The other games I haven't played look like fun! I had no idea there was blood in "Mortal Kombat". It's scary how Lara Croft explodes in "Tomb Raider II"! She's good-looking, by the way, and I like her accent!
I love Star Wars cheat codes they are amazing good to have as Star Wars collection to collect
Remember:
Cheats are FOR FUN ONLY, not for toxic gaming behavior...
Entering passwords aren't really cheats. There's so many *actual* cheats you could've chosen from. Nostalgia saved it for me here though, so thank you for that. 😉
Dark Forces had some great codes
Immediately the ball crosses the line, before the the score is counted, PAUSE and go to Replay...
For everytime you go to the replay, ANOTHER GOAL COUNTS!!!
Best cheat ever for one of the earlier PRO EVOLUTION SOCCER Games!
Man, I miss the Big Head code. We got it in Arkham Knight but it's sadly lacking in most other modern games. All those boring cutscenes might get a bit more entertaining when everyone is a bobble-headed freak.
Ah yes, the good old Doom/Duke Nukem/Wolfenstein/GoldenEye days.... (suddenly feeling old).
Wish games still added fun cheats to mess around with.
Not sure where you got your info from, we either say togs or bathers in Australia (well unless there's more words now days). As I've never heard of 'Justin Bailey' / 'bailies' or whatever else for a bathing suit.
God of Wars 1 and 2 has one of the best and popular cheat codes ever in PS2 to unlock everything in the game.
I never got codes for doom computer games till way later in life
You missed one the earliest I know and best for its time, Atari 2600 Space Invaders Double Shot. With the console off, press and hold the reset button then turn the power on while still holding reset then let it go. Now you shoot 2 shots at a time.
Flying cars in San Andreas was better than the tank.
Having the Deluxo's wheels turn sideways when over water was the best.
25 YEARS OF GTA.
Your entry on Mortal Kombat in not correct.
-
The version for Sega Genesis had an no blood by default, but could be turned on without a code having to be entered.
It was the SNES version that had no blood at all; instead, it had a grey "sweat" that came off of the characters when attacked.
It was this "sweat" that could be changed from grey to red by entering a code.
3:21 Did anybody notice that washing machine banjo looks a lot like Spongebob Squarepants?
is the first thing that came to my mind
R.i.p 6 star wanted level, you are truly missed
In final fantasy 8 pc version at least there was a levitation cheat that was hilarious and in the ps4 port you can turn on infinite limit breaks and invincibility
I was never too interested in the Justin Bailey cheat. Instead, I have been wanting to know who the hell Chris Houlihan is.
Ah Rosebud I miss that code lol
Less blood code for the MK video game.
No mention of the Pokemon cheats?
I never played NBA Jam… do I put it on my NBA Toast?
What about Atari "Adventure"...gain the secret color- changing square, take it behind the wall ( with the bridge), and see the creator's name...yea...early 80's cheat...
Im an Australian and I've never heard anyone call a bathing suit a "Bailey".
No love for "BewareOblivionIsAtHand" from Turok 2?
Used to use it all the time as a kid since I was rubbish at the game.
