10 Most Famous Video Game Cheat Codes

10. Helpusobi 1 - Star Wars: Dark Forces Series (1995-2003)

The Dark Forces series is some of gaming's best adaptations of the epic Star Wars universe. Starting as a Duke Nukem-esque first person shooter and gradually evolving into a wide-open, force-wielding slash-fest, the classic franchise is as well known for its addictive gameplay as it is for its legendary line of cheat codes.

To access these cheats, you first need to type in the code, 'helpusobi 1' - a reference to A New Hope - into the text bar. After that, the sky's the limit, with literally dozens of codes at your disposal.

There's 'god' for God Mode, of course, and 'give all' will, well...give you it all (weapons, health, ammo, you name it).

From Dark Forces II onward, force powers and lightsaber combat come into play, which adds a whole heap more on the cheat codes front. You can instantly max out your force capacity, learn new saber fighting styles before officially unlocking them...hell, you can even change the colour of your lightsaber!

So, if you fancy force-speeding straight through a level with bright orange lightsaber in one hand and lightning crackling out of the other, by all means go for it.
