These days the majority of my Youtube/internet in general time is spent watching gaming competitions such as Let's Races, and one group I follow recently went back to Goldeye for some deathmatches. One thing they were considering before deciding not to was using the Big Head code, aka 'DK Mode' because this one also increases the size of the arms making everyone look like gorillas.
These things were everywhere in the N64 era. Turok had a code that shrunk everyone as well, and another that made the colours all weird. If there were human characters and it was a shooter or sports game, odds were it had a Big Head code in there somewhere. Not that it was a crucial part of a game or anything, but why aren't they around anymore? The heads in Call of Duty and such are still polygon models, just vastly more detailed and lifelike than they were 3/4 generations prior. I guess making them huge like that would make them look less realistic, but people who enter codes like that aren't expecting realism- they want to make things look funny.
Any thoughts on why cheats like that have all but disappeared from gaming? What was your favourite weird cosmetic-altering code for a game?
