secret combos in old videogames

[FR]

Oh wow; I completely forgot about those.

Plus all the ones that gave you the eggs and everything...I smell a revisit for myself.

I never played the sequel

Isn't their gonna be a third game coming out soon?

Wow, that's a good question. Everything nowadays is either unlockable or an easter egg. There are no actual "Codes" anymore, really. Hmm...that's such a disappointment.

But to contribute to the conversation it was pretty convenient to have Sonic Jam on the Saturn, since it had all four of the 2D Genesis Sonics, and in the Sonic World option you'd find these little TVs that actually gave you the codes for them. Gosh but I can't name even a fourth of all the ones everyone's spitting out >_<.

Supposedly it's supposed to come out in Q4 this year...AND, according to Gregg Mayles on the subject of Stop 'N' Swop, "[…]I'm going to say nothing yet again, although we are considering revealing the truth somewhere in the third game, as some kind of anniversary treat."

Anyone remember Megaman... 7 i think.... where you had to enter passwords as red dots in this bigass grid? The idle screen would usually flash one really fast before playing a demo.

Not combos, but really some of the only codes I remember:

glitteringprizes

everylittlethingshedoes

hatchet

itisagooddaytodie

makeitso

onscreen

My fingers could (and still can) fly on the keyboard when inputting these codes.

WarCraft II: Tides of Darkness.

There's the money cheat, I don't remember the second one, the wood cheat, invulnerability/instagib cheat, fast build, and map reveal.

While we're on the topic, StarCraft:

PowerOverwhelming

ShowMeTheMoney

OperationCwal

ThereIsNoCowLevel

BlackSheepWall

And various others.

But to respond to the first post in the thread, the Debug Mode in Sonic 1 is UP-C-DOWN-C-LEFT-C-RIGHT HOLD A-START until level begins. Or if the level select comes up, pick your stage, and then hold A-START until that begins.
