I used to feel pretty clever copying the codes from those “1001 Cheat Code” books and taking the codes home without buying the books.

GameFaqs.com was one of the most used websites in my home for a while…

GameFAQ, ctrl+f, information found in seconds.
Now you have to sit through someone shouting like and subscribe until they tell you.

Absolutely loved GameFAQs in the day.
I’ve just been replaying Freelancer (2002) for the first time since then, and it’s SO refreshing to find comprehensive guides on GaneFAQs which are just plain written text, not even any images.
If you want to find tips on a modern game you basically have to scan through a bunch of YouTube wikis, unless the game is popular enough to have a fleshed-out wiki (versus a placeholder wiki on fandom where basically every page is just enough of a stub to come up in search engine results despite having no actual useful content)

Still is here. RetroArch and a few torrents makes it trivially easy to play everything I didn’t get to as a kid on systems I didn’t have. But I’m not gonna grind.

When I was a kid, we would just go to the local library and rent out the books and make copies at my leisure. If they didn’t have the book, the request for it was pretty simple and fairly quick.
Support your local library !!

Too much realism.

I found out after many years, from my younger brother, that GTA: SA had a campaign. I thought that you only put cheat codes, steal cars, destroy stuff and fuck the police. Oh and make your hair, it had the best barbershops.

I wonder where those sheets are now, that we all had written down inserted into the case in front of the instruction manual.

MTX kills my enjoyment in games very fast. Played a game with them before and just gave myself like £50k worth of premium money because it was easy. But the game wasn’t fun after a few minutes of that.

Never forget Contra, though I have forgotten the Mike Tyson code. 😭

I download my cheats for free if the game’s on PC.

I’m making a little indie game and I’m definitely putting in a cheats console, just for the nostalgia

Make sure you add big head mode.

Like for real? Because I’ll buy.

Yeah but it’ll be in dev for another year at least. It’s just a little push-your-luck dice-based roguelite dungeon crawler.
