I read somewhere that a lot of cheat codes were used during development and testing. It wasn't as easy to test out JUST level 6 without playing through the whole game up to that point, etc. So that's why level selects were so common.
Gotta' wonder how many games were made by people who seldom tested with the game's "normal rules"…and that's part of why some games are so broken or difficult! (not just the "rental syndrome"!)
Strange question, doing consider the LARA password a cheat code in Chrono Trigger?
I don't know why this video reminded me of that and how I don't think I understood that the first time I played the game it wanted me to use the SNES buttons 😢
6:12 OH NO BEES 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝
Modern games should have cheat codes
Zen the Intergalactic Ninja (NES) review?
What happened to your playlists?
I remember "Battletoads & Double Dragon" has a Stage Select cheat code. The only catch is if you beat the game using this code, you won't get the real ending. Just one of those few times a game itself won't reward you for cheating. If you want to see the ending, you'll have to work for it, damn it! LOL
the super turican reverse controls would probably be useful if you are left handed?? idk im not left handed, flip the controller upside down
Man UN Squadron had some great music!
Growing up with 8bit PCs cheats came as BASIC type ins from magazines that you had to type in and save before running the game.
The Yoshi's Island code is revealed in the game. Kill the only chain chomp in the game and you can enter a room that gives you the code.
@Snesdrunk Just a suggestion that may help with views. When you do a video series like this. It might be a good idea to link the previous video's in the series in description. I know in theory that Youtube is supposed have relatable content on the right hand side and in a perfect world that's where your other two videos in the series should be. I know when I see #3 in a series and they're not all released one after another, I tend to forget what was in the past videos so I go back and watch all three in order. It would mean more views and clicks for you. I don't know if that's even an interest of yours but at the very least it would make it easier for your fans to find your work. Best of luck!
That Yoshi's Island cheat is entirely new to me and I cant wait to try it
I really liked the Earthworm Jim debug menu cheat.
With Top Gear 3000 if you jump straight to all the upgrades there is no way you can handle that car lol. You have to gradually race that thing. No way as an adult now could i see it fast enough to navigate
No love for the "Olaf" code on Rock 'n Roll Racing? 💔
Justin Bailey is a code that I learned when I was 6 and will never ever forget.
my goat
The cheat for Yoshi's Island is actually shown in game. In Sluggy the Unshaven's Fort in level 5-4, there is a chain chomp just sitting there all by himself in a room. If you use an item like a POW block, it will kill him, which opens a secret door where there is an advice block that tells you the cheat code.
My favorite cheat codes were for NBA Hangtime for the N64. Unlimited turbo, always on fire, and full court dunks made this game incredibly easy and incredibly fun.
I love that you tried to organize them at least a very well put together video
Ah cheat codes. Back when games weren't greedy trash.
Jesus h Christ there's a harder mode on un squadron? I had to become one with the music to beat it on hard.
I remember just messing around in super bomberman and getting a maxed out arsenal for putting 1 1 1 1 in the password screen
Oh dang- suddenly feel the urge to look for a UN Squadron soundtrack/sound rip…
"and it appears to be a good boy!" 😂😂😂 dead
Props for the Hagane cheat.
Man, I have always looked for a CODE for UN Squadron, but NOT to make it harder. Oh well. I'll just keep practicing. LOL
Best cheat codes, to me, are the ones made for rpgs that maximize exp gains and stop random battles when active. I got into some good rpgs only because some of these exist.
The Star Fox shortcut was published on a tips/tricks cards from cereal boxes I don't remember the cereal though. It had a card for LttP & another game
