> A lot of the cheats were added by the code team

I’m still amazed at how long it took for the cheat codes to become known. I remember scouring the early internet and finding nothing but guides. It wasn’t for years before I saw they existed. Other games had their codes published in magazines almost the same day they were released.



Were there other codes than the time based? Because if I am not wrong, they would be found by most people (given that they beat levels quick enough).


There were button sequences you could use, they worked in multiplayer, and in singleplayer didn't count as "cheating" it like activating a time-unlocked cheat did.

Real button-sequence cheat codes! Isn’t it wild how long it took for them to be known?


I believe they were discovered after one of the button codes (more characters in multi) was officially released on the Goldeneye website.

Banjo Kazooie has the same thing, a ton of things in the game are accessible by entering special codes in the... sandcastle? Sorry it’s been a while
