"Flash" jumped in two days later and named all five cheats with 100% correct information. (The discrepancy was in the fifth cheat. The cheat I listed actually <i>unlocked</i> Invincibility in the Cheats menu. A completely different code was used to make the player invincible during gameplay.)<br /><br />I considered offering a sixth cheat as a tie breaker, but I didn't want either participants to feel, if you'll pardon the expression, cheated. After much deliberation, I have decided to call this one a draw.<br /><br />So here's what I will do: You will each receive the prize offered, but the first to name this sixth cheat will receive their prize first.<br /><br />Ready? (I decided to go with one I've been using a lot recently):<br /><br />↑ ↑ ← ↑ ↓ SELECT"MasterClaw"https://www.blogger.com/profile/16945446810293025752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6118214353661924405.post-41930340186601780702010-08-23T10:22:05.251-07:002010-08-23T10:22:05.251-07:001.

But this code was also in Operation C (Stage Select)! And Shattered Soldier! And Neo-Contra! And Contra 4! (Weapon Power Up) (Can you tell I like Contra?)<br />Also, I used the Konami Code LIBERALLY in TMNT: Turtles in Time to expand my max lives to 10.<br /><br />2. Street Fighter 2 (SNES), allowed players to play against each other as the same character. Entered at the Capcom Logo. I always forgot and had to press reset. :-X<br /><br />3. Mortal Kombat Genesis BLOOD CODE, Entered at that intro screen with all the text. You'd know it was entered because you'll hear Scorpion Yell "Get Over Here!" and the text turns yellow. I might say this was my first ever memorized cheat code! This WAS the first game I ever preordered, and I didn't own an SNES yet. I was lucky.<br /><br />4. Donkey Kong Country song select code. Enter this code at the file select screen highlighting "Erase Game." Then, press select to change the song! Thus shows my early admiration for video game music!<br /><br />5. Goldeneye Invincibility Code, entered AT THE CHEAT MENU, makes the option appear. Might I add that I NEVER got this one right? I HATED it. I'd spend an hour entering this, then All Guns, then Infinite Ammo. I hated turning this game off.<br /><br />I wholeheartedly agree with your statements; as long as achievements are out. After all, sometimes I just want to fool around on a rental, and being invincible really helps!<br /><br />On the other hand, I have never beaten World Tour Mode on Rock Band [1], and I DID unlock all of the songs...maybe it was because I did all instruments on Solo Play?<br />Beating World Tour on RB1 is one of my goals for the future, though. I might have to Voxtar it, if my wife doesn't step up.Flashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17260422221023344254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6118214353661924405.post-76303792760037015502010-08-21T08:35:37.823-07:002010-08-21T08:35:37.823-07:00First is the infamous Konami Code.

In Gradius III for SNES, it actually destroyed the player's ship.<br /><br />Second is from Street Fighter II for the SNES. It enabled character vs. same character play in two player versus mode.<br /><br />Third is from Mortal Kombat for the Genesis. It unlocked the gore and the bloody fatalities. It also enabled this version to outsell the graphically-superior-but-bloodless SNES version two-to-one.<br /><br />Fourth is from Donkey Kong Country for the SNES. When entered when the player highlights "Erase game" on the menu, it starts a music test.<br /><br />Fifth is from GoldenEye 007 for the N64. Made the player invincible.<br /><br />As to the use of codes and such, it depends. For most games, I don't mind checking a walkthrough long enough to get a nudge in the right direction whenever I'm stuck. However, there are times where I'm completely and utterly stuck. Good example is the original Mega Man for NES (played via Mega Man Anniversary Collection on GameCube). I could never get past the big yellow monster in Wily's stage until I learned about the pause trick (fire Elec Man's weapon, then pause and unpause the game repeatedly, increasing the number of hits on the enemy), which I then used to finish the rest of the game.Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08680134900180172839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6118214353661924405.post-42036780104864405612010-08-21T07:37:21.446-07:002010-08-21T07:37:21.446-07:001.

My favourite was in Contra for NES, where it gave you 30 lives.<br /><br />2. Street Fighter! Opens up most of the playable characters.<br /><br />3. Blood in Mortal Kombat!! I loved how they actually made a cheat code to allow for this. <br /><br />4. <br /><br />5. I think this one is for Duke Nukem 64 for the level unlock, but im really not sure.<br /><br />Thats all I can really think of. And I mostly agree with you about all this. I think cheat codes are an art lost on our next-gen systems. The only games that really retain them are the ones that had had them before(the fighting games and adventure games). I think the disabling achievements while cheats are running is reasonable. Cheats are more meant for fun in my opinion, rather than getting around things that you can't necessarily do. I think more games need a good difficulty changing system.<br /> This would allow for people to adjust certain challenges to their skill level. This is a system I've encountered mainly to the best effect in Mass Effect. You can adjust the difficulty level on the fly so that you can complete challenges that are just too hard at that time.Coreynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6118214353661924405.post-84344727888235429802010-08-21T00:52:33.321-07:002010-08-21T00:52:33.321-07:00Winner will receive a game of their choice for any...Winner will receive a game of their choice for any system, current or classic, from either Game Nutz store, Sherrill or Canastota, valued at up to $20 USD pre-tax retail price, subject to availability.
