What was the first game you used cheats on?

[catalyst8]

I remember entering the cheat code for infinite lives on Jet Set Willy on the ZX Spectrum. It didn't really make any difference to winning the game, since you'd inevitably trigger an infinite death loop.

 

[F'Angus]

DOOM 2 To get all the guns and god mode

 

[peter-lavalle]

Every PC one at some point. I usually play them without cheats and then will dick around with them when I get bored

 

[VaudevillianVeteran]

Either on The Sims 2 with the trusty BoolProp or Motherload cheats or Saints Row after completing it, Evil Cars, Milkbones, etc.

 

[Shaegor]

Doom 2, god mode...
I still remember it after all these years, iddqd.

 

[Poopster]

Contra! the famous 30 lives cheat!

 

[Redingold]

GTA III, I think. SO MANY ROCKETS!

 

[Blue Musician]

I used every cheat on Age of Mythology.

 

[Dash85]

Super Mario Bros. Game Genie FTW

 

[UnataSingu]

I'm 26 years old.

If you do the math, it can only mean one thing: ^ ^ v v b a b a start, 40 lives.

 

[Prince Regent]

The very first Prince of Persia.

I think it was shift M or something.

EDIT

I was wrong, it was shift L shift T and shift w.

 

[ethaninja]

Doom my lord IDDQD FTW!

 

[ethaninja]

Doom 2, god mode...
I still remember it after all these years, iddqd.

Damn, ninj'd

IDKFA would have been my second favorite then

 

[LiftYourSkinnyFists]

Pokemon was my first.

Curse you, Missingno!!

Same, and I learned... cheating never pays but it gives you a khanghaskan...

 

[Trolldor]

IDDKFA
IDDQD

Chainsaw massacre time.

 

[MetalDooley]

Probotector(that's Contra to you non-Europeans).The good old Konami code was probably the only reason I was able to beat that game

 

[Folksoul]

Sonic 2

All chaos emeralds

 

[SalamanderJoe]

Probably Pokemon Red. Was going up and down the coast of Cinnabar Island and fighting MissingNo. a cheat?

 

[TheBlueRabbit]

Up up up left down down down left up up up left right
up down left down left down down down left right

who remembers these?
one hint it was on the ps2 and was freaking awsome!
also i was a little kid and had no reflexes at the time so i had a legitimate reason!

Goldeneye. N64. Yes.

Also, my most used for shits and giggles, from memory:
Up, down, left, down, down, left, down, down, left, down, down, down, left, right.
Up, up, up, left, down, down, down, left, up, up, up, left, right.

Super cookie to anyone who knows what they are and for which game.

These were the Infinite ammo and Invincibility cheats for Battlefront 2. I use them regularly to just slaughter some rebels once in awhile.

OT: I think the first game I really used cheats on very often was probably the original Starcraft. It's a fun game, but I suck at RTS's.
Power Overwhelming for the cheese win.
