10 Greatest Video Game Cheats Of All Time

6. Exploding Lara Croft - Tomb Raider II

Tomb Raider 2How It's Activated: While playing any part of the game, sidestep Left, then Right, then Left, then hold the walk button and step forward, then step backwards. Then, turn Lara around three times in any direction you please, and jump forward, before pressing the roll button while in the air. What It Does: If executed correctly - given that it's one of the more intricate cheats on this list - Lara will spontaneously explode into a mass of body parts that fly through the air and hit the ground. Though, like the Assassin's Creed cheat, this is nothing more than an inside joke, it's most famous for being the cheat people would give to their mates in schoolyards, claiming that it was the much-discussed cheat to turn Lara nude. As it turns out, that one was a bunch of hooey (much to our hormonal frustration).
