Cheats you remember?

[Macca]

I was just thinking that nowadays many games have trainers rather than actual cheats you enter from the keyboard. In years gone by I still remember lots of cheats:

Cyberdyne Warrior - C64
Plug joystick into port one then up, down, left then right and press fire for infinite energy.

Batman - The Movie
On the title screen enter JAMMMM (just keep pressing M until the screen flips for infinite lives.

Treasure Island Dizzy
When playing type:
icanfly (to fly funnily enough)
eggsonlegs (for invulnerability - still get caught by traps though!)

Turrican 2
Enter the music menu then press 1 then 4 then 2 then escape twice for infinite lives - but you get no score!

Shadow of the Beast 2
Run to the East then press A to ask a question enter ten pints to have inifinite energy - but you can still get stuck in traps and not be able to finish the game.

Those are just a few of what I recall - do you have any favourites?

Rings Of Medusa
Enter DESOXYRIBUNUKLEINSAEURE as your name

(it's burned into my brain )

[s2325]

Amiga
James Pond 2
Type littlemermaid on title screen, press enter in game - infinite energy, vehicles hidden under keys

Jim Power
Type PVELOUP in game - infinite lives

Plague and Shadow of the Beast I - hold left mouse button while loading - inifinite energy

Car-Vup - press fire on red screen - unlimited lives but I didn't know how to beat boss

Atari 8-bit
Duch/Ghost - type mirage on title screen to be immortal

Meh, every 10 years such a thread pops up on the forums:

Hired Guns:
- amiga (easy to remember )
- christina
- applegate (so with the previous code, you have Kelly Bundy from Married with children)

My all time favorite space strategy game "K240"

Go to asteroid map view - Press {Enter} Type "LOADSADOSH" Press {Enter}

You now hear a short bleep accompanied by 10000 credits.

EAT LEAD FUNNY MUNSTER.... that didnt work...

[Rob 1]

I remember The SOTB2 one too

And Super Cars 2 They were "Big country" fans so you had to enter album names "The Seer" and "In the Big Country" as player names

[Bamiga2002]

"Best Kept Secret" for infinite energy in Robocop.
"CHEDDAS" in high-score screen in Ninja Warriors for infinite credits.
How could anyone forget JAMMMMM in Batman the Movie (only losers use it though ).

And MAI for player name in Nitro for 50 money!

[Predseda]

Also 5x Help in pause mode for Rodland ;-)
And 'Fantasy on the burning tree screen...

[Bamiga2002]

I never did get "SUMITA." to work in R-Type.

[demolition]

The classic 'FUND' cheat in Simcity.

Edit: I see that one is also mentioned in the old thread linked from here.
It's not really for the Amiga, but I never forget IDKFA, IDDQD, IDSPISPOPD etc..

[Bamiga2002]

Wasn't IDKFA for XTreme Racing along with "turbo nutter bastard"
New Zealand Story had something like "motherfuckenkiwibastard" ...

Yup: http://hol.abime.net/1616/cheatcode
I preferred IDFA (in that certain non-really-Amiga game ), as it 'only' refreshed your ammo and didn't give you any keys

Do you know if those cheats are also implemented in the Amiga ports out there?

[TCD]

I've only checked ADoom (and that a while ago), but I'm 99% sure they are also in all Amiga ports

[Shoonay]

CHEATERCHEATERWIMP for a game I've never played called A-Train.

I found the code years ago in the very first gaming magazine I've read, found it funny and somehow remembered it.

from what i remember you had to play long enough to enter it into the high score table.

[amiga_Forever]

I think i would never remember an cheats if their not spelt in english ....

Usually, i'd just look them up online. ( ...... things don't change now-a-days)

[Tiago]

SWIV had the "NCC1701" code. It was the number of USS Enterprise from Star Trek

[Sektor 83]

For some reason I never forgot the cheat code for The Addams Family for extra energy: B919R. I've forgotten many, many things about various Amiga games over the years, but bizarrely that particular cheat just wedged itself deep into my brain somehow. I didn't even play the bloody thing that much!
