The all guns cheat in Goldeneye is also an amazing sheet although I guess it's not really a famous One unlike the DK mode. It's so cool to start a mission with every single weapon that the game offers and you'll see ones that are just not normally in the game like the regular shotgun as opposed to the automatic shotgun that you get at statue Park and tavern, but also a taser that never appears anywhere in the game. Someday I would like to unlock the all weapons cheats in perfect Dark because I consider perfect Dark to be a huge improvement over GoldenEye. Also perfect Dark had their own version of a DK mode cheat but they just called it big head mode.

It's not necessary a cheat code but a possible glitch in software. For the early Mortal Kombat story modes (1-4) you could just spam one move to get a flawless victory. Whether it was an uppercut, leg sweep or just spamming "Get Over Here!" endlessly it seemed to always work.

This seems pretty much all console driven, but there were a few arcade cheats worth noting in the same era. Street Fighter 2 had several for Guile for example, such as the phantom throw or the game lock (ax kick both middle buttons) and the "star to star" 4 strike combo. Mortal Combat had several too, like Johnny Cages infinite kick combos. But these were all arcade (mame) cheats or hacks.

It was this "sweat" that could be changed from grey to red by entering a code.
