Why God mode for that? I would think that playing a game on easy or

When I say exploring I mean doing things like just walking through

I did a bit of googlefoo and the answer seems to be yes. Personally I

Also to explore without having to worry about dying, find hidden rooms
with no entrance, or all the secret areas.  Not having to come back
later with key x to open a door (personally I hate that, but haven't
gone that far.)

That sounds great sometimes.  Which game and cheat do I need? :-)

I'm sure you can look up which, I never used it, it seemed like it took
too much challenge out of games.  I did briefly use wizard mode which
lets you save your game in Nethack, except it didn't help that much
other than with experimenting.  I think sometimes the walking through
walls part is called wall-hack?

Ayep, and why the no talent newbs accuse everyone who kills them of
being a wall-hacker.   Although mostly that's less about walking through
walls as it is seeing through walls to locate your opponents.

I'm pretty sure a lot of console ports have things like that.  I think
at least some of the earlier Doom, and other FPS games did too

IDSPISPOPD and such

Bethesda has a lot of console commands you can use without even using
mods.  Apparently tgm is the command in console to turn on god mode.
hit ~ to open the console.  Then type: tgm<enter> and ~ again to exit
console mode.

I remember infinite ammo/no reloading is a popular cheat/mod in a lot of
FPSs as well.

And similar games, I used to use that in Oni since I hate melee and ammo
was always scarce (plus the magic ammo packs gave you less ammo for the
better guns (and you could only carry one gun at a time.))
