doom cheat codes:
IDDQD, god mode
IDKFA, ammo
IDSPISPOPD, no clip i thinkSPISPOPD stands for ‘Smashing pumpkins into small piles of putrid debris’.
Back in the usenet days I remember someone making a crappy freeware game with that title.
That’s right, a cheat code in a game inspired the creation of another game.
The cheat code was inspired by a Usenet meme, could be the game was also inspired by the meme
You could use the IDKFA code in MechWarrior 2 as well.
If you did, it would immediately eject you from the mech and display a message something along the lines of “this isn’t doom you idiot”.
Same in Heretic - IDKFA takes all your weapons and ammo, IDDQD kills you.
And I think both codes do a similar thing in Earthworm Jim.
I don’t ever remember using the last one, but I’m sure I knew a code for no clip.
They changed it to idclip in doom2
I’m sure I remember using it in the first game, but it was a long time ago 👴🏻
obsolete knowledge
doom cheat codes
The second article on games@lemmy.world is about Doom (running on PDFs)
Can I use the cheats on the PDF doom? 🤔
You can’t, but they work in the CAPTCHA Doom.
Unless they’ve removed it from the game, I assume so.
L1 R2 R1 R2 left down right up left down right up
thats definitely a guns cheat from GTA … Vice City?
I believe vice city and San Andreas had similar codes but this one from my memory is San Andreas.
The model codes to 2nd and 3rd Gen Intel I series chips. Made figuring out what processors were in used laptops quite easy back in the day. Now I have to Google them (doesn’t help that their naming scheme is more confusing).
Morse code. Did a science project back in middle school with wires, buzzers and tappers on a board. Then I taught it to my boy scout troop for a badge. Then lost some of it before joining the army in communications (as well as a ton of other outdated means of communication) and then in Iraq, me and another commo guy wired up our rooms for it so we could talk shit about our leadership even if they were in the room. Anyways, after working with it that many times over a stretched out time frame, I’ll never forget that. Or the phonetic alphabet.
It’s not exactly obsolete. The HAMs use it from time to time.
The password to reach Mike Tyson / Mr dream in Punch-Out! is 007-373-5963. Burned into my brain.
In NFS Underground 2, if you place an empty file named “FOOBAR” with no extension in the game directory, you can bypass disk verification and the game just launches.
3.14159265359 (ok the last 9 is actually an 8 but it’s followed by a 9 so I round up).
Not exactly obsolete, but there’s no reason for anyone to memorize that many digits of Pi except for trivia. Number of times it has come up in trivia: 0.
I used to stop there but just beyond it some small palindromes follow, so they’re somewhat easy to remember (and gives even more useless nerd cred)
3.14159265358979323 (you got 535, then the 8 leads into 979, then 323).
Morrowind on the original Xbox came with cheat codes. Put the cursor over the health, magicka, or fatigue bar, enter the codes with the black and white buttons then hold A until the bar fills. If you close the menu before you let go of A, it will continue to refill constantly until you open your menu again.
Health: B, W, B, B, B, A
Magicka: B, W, W, B, W, A
Fatigue: B, B, W, W, B, A
You could actually use the magicka code for all 3, but I liked that there were 3 different codes.
I know most sanitary fittings machining dimensions by heart. Engineer drawings are for pussies.
The 7 names of the antique greek Muses:
Calliope
Clio
Polyhymnia
Euterpe
Terpsichore
Erato
Melpomene
Thalia
UraniaIt wouldn’t be antiquity if the 7 anything were actually 7 would it?
Don’t you complain when you have paid for 7 but got 9! 😉
If you put as your name grm3110 in NBA jam you can play as death
