Doom. There's something immensely satisfying about being invincible and shooting rockets left right and center. It's just a shame I needed to type idkfa EVERY TIME i needed more ammo. Still, gibletizing everything in your path is pretty cool.
What was the first game you used cheats on?

For me it was Age of mythology when I was having trouble in one mission where you had to keep Prometheus and his forces at bay until you could rescue your allies. I kept losing so I spammed the titan cheat and had like 20 titans holding the forces off. It was fun to watch.
That game was one of my first, right up there with the game that usedLongshot said:

Anyone? Anyone? Name that cheat code.
Holy hell, spot on. It was Civilizations 2 for me as well! I must've been young as hell, since I didn't understand a single mechanic of that game.Zechnophobe said:
Yep. Didn't they actually have them in the manual?kannibus said:
For me it was Mechwarrior 2. I could probably remember some of those codes if I wanted.
Yeah, that's probably it for me too. Doom's creepy atmosphere scared the crap out of me (at the age of 9 or 10), and the codes made me feel safer. I think it took me over 6 years to stop using cheat codes with my games.chimpzy said:
EDIT: On second thought, it might actually have been Sonic 2, but it's not like I didn't also play that game legitimately.
Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction.
Portable Air Strikes, Infinite Money, and Han Solo. What's not to love?

EDIT: the first game i beat on GBA
I always remembered spispopd with this little acronym: "smashing pumpkins into small piles of putrid debris."Soylent Bacon said:
In doom 2 they just made it idclip, i think, lol.
Nope, but you ninja'd what I was going to put. Even though I really don't remember, I was gonna go with that since I don't think I cheated in games before that.JohnnyDelRay said:
DNCORNHOLIO was also godmode, and I used DNSCOTTY all the time. which reminds me of idclev, but whatever.kannibus said:
I think that was 1000 food for age of empires 2...Manicotti said:
But yeah, uhh, really not sure.
I do remember getting my dad to help me use a hex editor to make like a super-undefeatable base in X-Com: UFO Defense... I even gave my soldiers 127 and 255 everything that I could, and the game was still hard (I was really young...)
