What is that one video game cheat code you’ll never forget about?
I’ll start us off with the classic “Explode All Cars” cheat from the classic 2004 game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, as that is one that I remember using a lot for no rhyme or reason:
R2, L2, R1, L1, L2, R2, SQUARE, TRIANGLE, CIRCLE, TRIANGLE, L2, L1

Gives you 30 extra lives in Contra on the NES
This is the one I was looking for. So famous its been used in numerous games.
AKA the Konami Code

Worked in most of the TMNT games too.
I like that you specifically remember 2-player mode
Haha, I noticed that, too. That’s the one I always did - but not the one you’ll see printed on tee shirts, etc.
Is it a “cheat” code if it’s basically required to beat the game…?
It wasn’t required. It was the dark souls of the time.
While I was exaggerating, it and Contra 3 were brutally hard!
