What is that one video game cheat code you'll never forget about?

I'll start us off with the classic "Explode All Cars" cheat from the classic 2004 game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, as that is one that I remember using a lot for no rhyme or reason:

R2, L2, R1, L1, L2, R2, SQUARE, TRIANGLE, CIRCLE, TRIANGLE, L2, L1

Porkcharsui in the original pc version of Grand Theft Auto. If you named your character this, you had an overlay with coordinates so you could find your way easier, you'd get all the guns and the possibility to toggle a kind of sped up mode.

Oh and howdoiturnthison in Age of Empires 2 to get an AC Cobra with machine guns

Down up left left A right down to get the cheat menu on Mortal Kombat on the Sega Megadrive.

On Revenge of Shinobi set the number of shurikens on the Options screen to 0 and wait 20 seconds. The zero turned into an infinity symbol, giving you unlimited shurikens.

The one from the sims I it was β€œkatching” one and the other was β€œmotherlode” maybe the spelling is not correct but I will never forget those codes.

Surprised nobody mentioned "motherlode".

Something like 50k simoleons in The Sims 2. Absolutely essential to any save file.

I had San Andreas on PS2 as a kid, only played it on PC a little bit as an adult; but, the fact that you type the cheat codes on a keyboard means they kinda make words, so i forgot the PS2 ones and i remember some PC ones.
