crazy to think i had a harder time playing goldeneye with cheats as a kid than I did playing it legit as an adult.
no amount of invincibility or ammo can stop you from failing an escort mission as a 10 year old.

I remember reading a Smash Melee cheat that said you could unlock David Spade.

i bought an N64 transfer pak for 2 reasons:
Pokemon Stadium and this 'cheat' i saw repeatedly for years.
I sat down, put in banjo-tooie and the transfer pak, re-read the instructions and instantly knew i was an idiot falling for fanfiction.

the pokemon ones were the most rampant about this, i still remember the most obvious one in red/blue about "pokegods" where it was telling kids to open their game up and remove the black chips as those were "limiters" from pokegods appearing

rare witch project had threads about this on occasion. and they always went the same way.
>have you guys seen this 'cheat'? any validity?
>no

>no, the guy who wrote that posted here apologising for the lies ages ago
>no
>no and that isn't remotely a functionality of the transfer pak

why did boomers print off entire web pages like this? didn't they know about cropping? you could fit way more on the page that way and not waste so much ink
>>
>>735957207
back then cropping a website may have erased bullshit on the sides but it was a lot more work to crop out the crap AND maintain a bunch of info on the page.
simply getting the fucking printer to work was a task that could eat up 30 minutes easily. i'm still not used to printing shit reliably.
>>
>>735957207
People still don't know about cropping or just taking snapshots of what you want with built in windows tools in this very day, you expect them to know about it 25 years ago?
>>
>>735957207
i was like, 8 years old. i'd right click and hit 'print' and get a hard copy. my parents would praise me for being good with computer before going back to teaching me nothing.

yeah i wish i had a different upbringing but I didn't and I feel lucky to at least have nostalgia for those hard copies of cheats

>>
>>735958973
while we had a pc and internet and all that shit early compared to the average person where we lived, i didn't own a color printer until 2015. if i NEEDED to print in color i did it at school or work or at the library.

My friend told me you could unlock the blues brothers. (The runaway five from earthbound that can be seen in the melee intro)

Either that shit didn’t exist, or I didn’t know. I just hit the print button.

I still remember a cheat about Digimon World where you had to do some ultra specific stuff and then Angewomon would give you a blowjob.
I knew it was bullshit, but a small part inside me wanted to believe it.
Thinking about it was so hot.
