This reminded me of how I spent multiple nights re-rolling my party on my Mac port for Wizardry I. I eventually hit a point total that allowed me to start one character as a ninja, which apparently must have been a bug because that was supposed to be impossible.
My cheesiness knew no bounds however. At some point I acquired a shuriken, which would increase your total HP by 1 every time you equipped it. I did the righteous thing and spent a few more nights unequipping and equipping it, which left me with some outrageously high HP.
Feeling that even this munchkin level insanity wasn't enough I fiddled around with the save game and figured out how to clone my character. Finally my party had a front line of 3 ninjas with unassailably high HP totals. Finally, Werdna was mine.

- seanp2k2 9y agoSame but with stuff like Diablo 2 and D2Edit / Jamella. Gameshark Pro was also fun stuff. It's honestly sad that you can't gameshark modern consoles since it was so much fun to mod games in ridiculous ways. Mod support for PC games is what keeps me buying PC games. Edit: excited for the potential mod support for FFXV on PC.
- swozey 9y agoI no longer have time to dedicate to games like I did as a kid so cheats are a huge deal to me (single player only). They don't "ruin" the game for me at all. I only play games a few times a month but my steam library contains hundreds. So on that one random Saturday I've got the free time to dedicate to 5+ hours to gaming I want to get as far as possible in a couple of games. I've been playing the Witcher 3 seemingly forever. I have a Ps4 and a few big games for it, Yakuza, etc and I've played them all once or twice because of the time investment required to get through the story. I WANT to enjoy the story. It's really unfortunate. I'd love to speed up my progress, instead I'm forced to watch Lets Plays of those games.
- thatguy0900 9y agoEven with games without mod support, you can always use cheat engine http://www.cheatengine.org/ http://www.cheatengine.org/
- jghn 9y agoOh I did. I don't think 40-something me could spend the amount of time 10 year old me did but I played the hell out of that game.
- pavel_lishin 9y ago> At some point I acquired a shuriken, which would increase your total HP by 1 every time you equipped it Dear god, why does such an item even exist?
- kazagistar 9y agoA bug?
- jghn 9y agoNope, that was legit. They probably didn't count on people doing that for hours on end.
- pavel_lishin 9y agoHow does someone writing an RPG game not have any friends who would do exactly that?
- cryptonerd2212 9y agoDisclaimer - I know nothing about this game. Is Werdna a boss? Cause Werdna is just Andrew spelled backwards.
- jghn 9y agoWerdna is the final boss, and is indeed Andrew spelled backwards, Andrew was one of the developers [1] [1] http://villains.wikia.com/wiki/Werdna http://villains.wikia.com/wiki/Werdna
- elevensies 9y agoThat reminds me of a PC Hockey game, NHL 2001 or something like that. On regular season mode you could trade a player for a slightly better player. Half an hour of trading later you could have an all-star team, without even playing a game.
