  • As others have already mentioned, IDKFA for Doom and didn’t it work in Doom 2 as well?

    I only ask because when ID Software released Heretic, a swords and sorcery style Doom game, I remember typing in IDKFA, expecting the same results. It was the Doom engine after all. Except typing in the classic code kills you instantly!

    Another isn’t strictly a cheat code. On the old 8bit computers the UK, you could enter some programming code to change the memory before loading in a game. (This is over simplified.)

    Because of the altered memory, it would effect the game in some way. E.g. infinity health or lives.

    I found a listing in a magazine which you could type in to help with the ZX Spectrum version of Batman: The Movie.

    In this platform game, with the cheat, when a bad guy tried to climb a ladder, they would freeze.

    This was very helpful and worked wonderfully all the way through the game. That was until you reached the very end whereupon the Joker was on a rope ladder attached to a helicopter.

    The code interfered with the end of game boss in a way it wasn’t expecting and the game would crash.

    Thanks.



  • The 8 bit guy. I loved his retro computing channel and then one day, he acquired a rare IBM computer and promptly destroyed the power supply by sticking a screwdriver into it (if I remember correctly).

    For some reason, I googled about this and discovered he’s a gun nut. They’re videos of him going grocery shopping with his rifle on his back which apparently he does this knowing it will annoy people.

    Unsubscribed from the channel and never looked back.
