- endgame 12y agoEver try typing those into Heretic? Was Sega not very big in the US in that era? Most of the old gaming references I see online are NES-based (or at least Nintendo), but the first cheat code I learned was Up, Down, Left, Right, A+Start.
- qbrass 12y agoUp, C, Down, C, Left, C, Right, C, A+Start was cooler. Sega was pretty much unknown in the US until the Genesis came out, and never really beat Nintendo in popularity.
- endgame 12y agoI'm also disappointed that cheat codes don't seem to make it into release builds any more. (Or do they? I haven't seriously played anything modern for a while now - I'd love to be proved wrong.)
- Retric 12y agoSome companies realized you could charge money for them and thus was born the pay to win version of free to play games. Consider Contra's 99 lives cheat code vs candy crush's extra lives for cold hard cash. Though by far the most popular is a version of starcraft's instant build cheat coupled with a persistent RTS game. As to traditional cheat codes, there more common in RPG's. Skyrim console being a great example of a classic cheat codes.
