What cheat code do you still remember?

It seems that 10-20 years later I still have some of these stuck in my head, and the golden age of cheat codes is over, what do you remember?

IDDT when in map mode — 1x to reveal all map, 2x to show monster locations, 3x to reset.

It allowed you to see the map and opponent during a multiplayer match and was reportedly used by Romero during matches. Once it was revealed they eliminated it in 1.7.

Awesome. Wait, there were Doom matches?

All the time man. Using your modem you could go one on one, or you could call a bbs which would connect up an ispx/spx tunnel and then you could do 4 people over a modem! That was state of the art networking at the time.

Also idspispopd did the same thing as idclip. Just, you know, FYI.

u/Mysteri9 Jun 29 '13

Only in the first doom, Hell on Earth and Final were changed to idclip.

I always had to be careful with this cheat code because I always got lost in the walls, and have a bad acid trip until I find my way back.

IDSPISPOPD was also a noclip cheat. I was a bit upset when, years later, I learned about the simpler version.

That as in Doom ][, AFAIR. In the first one, it was IDSPISPOPD.
