Oh my God.. this brings back so many memories of sitting around all night, hacking away and discovering new codes for my favorite games!! Oh good times!! :)
Hey, I own a game genie, and I thank it for beating Blaster Master(Better persistence and wits to pwn the Lvl 5 boss), Xexyz, Zelda II: The Adventures of Link, and Batman for NES. The reason I got a Game Genie is because my friend who owns a Turbo Grafx-16 has one.
You know when Nintendo did a new version of the NES in the late 90's, it was half red and white, and you inserted cartridges from the top(not the side)? I found out that the MAIN reason they made that, was because Game Genie wouldn't work on it. They apparently hated the game genie. I liked it though, some games were so hard that even using normal cheat codes wouldn't even help you beat it.
@SpikeLanta Yeah, it's true. Nintendo actually sued Galoob in the early 90's to try to stop them from creating the Game Genie. Nintendo lost the lawsuit, so what they did, especially on the SNES, was they would make 2 versions of a game so that some GG codes would work on one but not the other. You'd almost never know the difference between the 2 versions playing each version of the game. They did it to try to keep Galoob from coming up with codes for their games.
@LeoFan93 because your level of fun affects the pixels of the game that are sent to the tv cathode and cause an explosion from hyper light because you almost saw 2 seconds of your future life
I have little doubt that the guys in this video were inspired by Bill & Ted or at least by the "surfer bum" personality that was very popular at the time ... for some reason.
*TV explodes* AWESOME!!
*the fine print* Now buy a new one.
