The Konami Code is perhaps the most well-known cheat code to ever exist, but I'm curious if anyone still retains memories of codes from other games.

I personally remember the Sonic 1 Level Select code - Up, Down, Left, Right, A + Start. You had to input it pretty quickly too, since the window of time was the title screen.




To this day I sometimes find myself inputting it from pure muscle memory while games load and stuff.

Bonus points if you remember any codes from the past decade. Do any even exist?

I will always remember some of the Sims cheats, like motherlode giving a bunch of money.

Not that I needed it, but every time my friend came over he'd just run through everything and die. Eventually had to find this to get him past the first level.
