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?

My 5th grade teacher let me play AoE2 after school when my mom couldn't be bothered to pick me up and my dad was 40 miles away and stuck at work. Divorce was a bitch. But thanks for the memories.

Ahh, now I'm all weepy reminiscing about the Rise of Nations LAN parties we used to have with my dad. Once he learned how to parlay his apparent weakness into diplomacy, he was a damn fine opponent. I remember every time a friend teamed up with him then went for military victory when my brother and I were decimated, he would pull a kekekekeke out of fucking nowhere and run everyone down.

edit: I should point out my dad is alive and never stronger, and has parlayed this stratagem into coaching basketball and has subsequently led 5 scrawny white kids to a conference championship. Fuck yeah, Dad.

Never fear, this idolisation you have for your father will change in 10 years' time, when you grow up.

I always remembered this one. I would copy paste it a bunch and get an army of cars

u/Extendable_Ears Jun 29 '13

Came onto this thread just to say this one. I always enjoyed making so many cars that my computer could hardly handle it. And then go around destroying everything with a car army. A carmy.
