Another gaming moment I remember…:
PS2 times, I was playing GTA San Andreas on the PS2 with my friend. On the playstation 2 version there were multiplayer pickups around the map, and one of them not far from the Grove Street.
In advance, I would have all cheat codes for the game pre-printed out on multiple A4 pages from some cheat sites (i do recall gamefaqs was one of them, and a German one spieletipps).
We would then first spend like 5-10 minutes activating all kinds of crazy cheats like flying cars, drive on water, ammo, riot in the entire city, etc. Tbh i dont recall all the cheats available. I do remember memorizing a lot of them due to pressing the cheat code sequence so many times.
Remember this is the pre-smartphone era, thats why we had all those cheat codes printed out.
Then we’d pick up that multiplayer and just go fully bananas. It wasn’t even all that great, because in this multiplayer, the two players had to remain in the same screen at all times, so if the camera zoomed too far out, thats as far as we could go.
So the scene that i clearly recall is this:
My friend was driving this firetruck that could obviously fly and hat nitrous equipped and enabled. We had at least a 5 star wanted level, but i think 6 stars so military jets were chasing us in this flying firetruck ![]()
And then this happened:
My friend nosedived from the sky into the city Las Venturas (the GTA version of Las Vegas) and unintentionally flew perfectly upside down into a railroad tunnel, nitrous boost still enabled, jets flying after us and crashing, and us spraying them with the water cannon from the firetruck

It was so absurd, we fell to the floor laughing and couldn’t stop for minutes on end… ![]()
Remarkable, really remarkable. Fully hilarious. Incredible fun.
So many hours into this game alone. Brillant.
