I remember using cheat codes for the GTA series, my mother saying to me "why play the game, if you're just gonna cheat?" I never cheated to get past any mission, I only typed in cheat codes because it was fun, and I wanted to cause chaos.
Yes, there are two types of cheat codes: - Codes used to actually cheat, to get past challenges and to beat the game easier. - Codes used to have fun, to change things around, to play it in a different way. The second is fun codes, not cheat codes. For example, I used a lot of fun codes in Brawl, because it allowed me to play the game in new ways. Be it allowing spawning multiple smash balls at once (which worked as long as the item was part of the moveset and not spawned in, like a Landmaster), modifying the moveset, removing limitations in stage builder and so on. - But I did also use initial cheat codes; unlock everything. Already had unlocked everything in the past, so no need to do it all over again.
@@Liggliluff Same man. When I was little my friends and I would come over to play midnight club 2, and I would always enter the unlock everything code and a code that attaches rocket launchers to your car. Man those were the days, explosive jousting with jet propelled cars along the streets of Paris.
@@Liggliluff I only used cheat codes once in my life to go through a level that I couldn't finish in normal ways because I couldn't kill the last enemy even with the most powerful weapon I ended up not knowing how to disable the cheat and ended up ruining the last levels of the game
When I got a game shark as a kid (on my game boy) I pretty much ran a trading scam behind my school at recess. I would charge every kid a dollar for five minutes with the game shark and their game boy. But if they didn’t have a game boy I would let them use mine with it for an extra 5 dollars. Once the teachers found out I had to go behind a tree, and make sure people didn’t make a line like they used to. Then the teachers found out again, and I couldn’t bring the game boy or the game shark anymore. So my dumb ass tried to start the scam again at my house and on the bus after school. I let that run up until I was in 7th grade, then I stopped for some reason I can’t remember. By the time I was done, I made enough money to buy at least 5 more game boys. Lol
I loved using the cheat codes in Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga, they were quite fun to use. Also nice how accessible they were, all you had to do was find an obscure location to unlock them.
I remember when you were the hottest shit for having the cheat code books from the scholastic book fair in elementary school. That’s where I learned that Luigi was a playable character in new super mario bros ds.
I felt like god getting that at the book fair. Me and my friends would spend hours looking threw that thing and seeing how much of our games it has in it
Games being taken more seriously really did ruin some of my favorite parts of games that ran on silliness. Like look at the first God of War game: you beat the game once, now for no extra cost you can replay it with Kratos in a cow suit with massive udders or a fish costume. I don’t see the PS4 game giving me my udder suit.
I remember having an action replay for DS as a kid. I always used it after I beat whatever game I played to see how much I could break it. The action replay didn't really have a big life span breaking in a matter of weeks.
Mine broke too. I always thought because I put it in the wrong ds. I got my worth out of it though. I will never regret cheating to see the events of diamond and pearl after they had passed
I think the reason you don't see many cheat codes these days is that back in the day, cheat codes were mainly built in so the devs could test stuff to see if the game would work properly. Because it'd be way too time-consuming to play through the game each time to do this, they put in stuff to select levels, so they could test stuff there, or invincibility, so they could see if everything in the environments was good without having to worry about getting killed by enemies. But they'd just leave them in because who knows what could break in the game if they took out the codes with a bunch of stuff layered on them. Nowadays, testing stuff is easier, and if something broken is found later, they can just release an update... couldn't do that before. This wasn't the case for every code, some were put in just for fun, but this is probably a large reason for it.
Knee Snap Actually it is. Don’t you realize how far we’ve come from the NES era of games? The tech we have now makes debugging far easier than it ever was before, therefore the need for cheats suddenly dropped.
@@charlescampuz5812 I work on modding / compiling old games, mainly Playstation 1. The debugging tools available were just as advanced then as they are now.

The LEGO games have found a sorta middle ground, where you have to earn the cheats by doing a quest of some sort or collecting enough studs. I always found this sort of cheat system much more satisfying as you have to put a bit of effort to get them, and I’m so glad they are still doing them
I'll be honest, those cheat books were honestly a huge reason for me wanting so many games as a kid. I thought they were the most fun you could have with games at the time.

When I was a kid we all had a gizmo called "Action Replay" which gave access to tons of cheats in most games... Edit: JUST after I posted my comment you started talking about it... nice

one nostalgic thing abt this, is that my dad and mom (who played video games when they became popular, like the originals) actually knew game codes, and it would just BLOW my little toddler mind, and thought they were the coolest
The 1st cheat code I remember using was the Atari 2600. Specifically Space Invaders. Hold on the reset switch down while powering the unit on. Release the reset switch and you'd get a double laser shot instead of a single shot. You could only fire one shot at a time till that shot hit an alien or completely missed before firing a 2nd shot. Now you could fire 2 shots at once. Don't even know how we found it. No internet in the 80's. Dont think there were game mags then either. Funny what we thought was cool at the time.
I remember renting the game genie for NES from Blockbuster. It came with this thick book of all the games and different codes and their function. I had so much fun with that thing as a kid.
I personally think it's really cool that a lot of the cheat codes from the original Crash Team Racing appear in the remake, even forcing you to unlock Penta Penguin by entering his original cheat code! I wish more modern games did stuff like that.
I remember my elementary school had a video game cheat code book in the library and I was able to memorize a couple of them. That's the story of how I got a Walmart car in Nascar 09.
@@Chad_Eldridge > _"Except those require you to have the money for proper software and hardware as well as the technical know-how. "_ Depends on what platform you are on. On PC, in some games, it can be as easy as download the file, and just place it inside a folder. For example in The Sims games, you place a .package file inside a specific folder to have more items available in the game. In other games, you can replace one of the level files with a new level (you should preferably backup the old level). Other games you have to dig into files, sometimes using hex-editors, to modify the code to accept the new files. - So it ranges from really easy, to very advanced. Depends on the game.

0:43 There are really two reasons you don't see cheat codes nowadays. For cheats like infinite lives/health/etc., developers would use those cheats themselves so they could more easily test games. Now, developers have access to much better debugging tools so there's no need for those cheat codes to exist. As for fun cheats like Big Head mode, to quote Ask a Game Dev, "we have so many people on the team and so much scope already that asking people to work even more has a very real human cost that we aren’t as willing to pay. If we’ve got the energy for bonus extras, why not spend that effort improving the core game experience itself?"
I can't imagine adding a big head mode would be that more taxing. Texture files are just image files that can be modified in most image editing software, so they can just balloon them up while expanding the the head of the model.
@@SgtTwilight You gotta let everyone know you're adding it, gotta add a way for players to access it (menu option or whatever), gotta test it to make sure it's not buggy or crashes the game under one of the many circumstances games can have now. There's always the temptation to add one more small feature to a game, and sometimes you just gotta draw a line in the sand, dude.
@@kjl3080 I meant you need to let the people on the development team know. Adding things to a game without letting people know is pushing your luck at the best of times. In terms of either letting players access it vs find it themselves, lots of publishers would ask why you would put so much effort into something such a small fraction of players will ever know about.
I still remember most of the codes for Rogue Squadron. Things like flying the Millennium Falcon and imperial shuttle were mind blowing when I was a kid
I downloaded my own platformer game on some school desktops so my friends could play it at school and the reason they keep playing is because of the cheats. At first, I was kind of mad that two of my friends were abusing them to get through the game I designed so carefully but overall, they were just having their own fun. Sometimes is fun to test the limits of a game and just play it in new ways with cheats. Cheats add so much replay value and I think people stopped adding them in their games because you could get past every obstacle effortlessly with them. Even with the inclusion of cheats, there's nothing stopping you from playing a game as normal and some people just enjoy games more with cheats which is why I'll include them in probably every game I ever make

The LEGO games have found a sorta middle ground, where you have to earn the cheats by doing a quest of some sort or collecting enough studs. I always found this sort of cheat system much more satisfying as you have to put a bit of effort to get them, and I’m so glad they are still doing them
I'll be honest, those cheat books were honestly a huge reason for me wanting so many games as a kid. I thought they were the most fun you could have with games at the time.

Hearing about the Justin Bailey code made me tear up that was my dad's name before he passed away last year 😢 he never wanted me to spend my time on games saying that it was a waste of time ik he wouldn't care about it but just hearing it means so much to me knowing that the name that diffined his life I'm so glad to now know that gaming Something that I love has an attachment to someone I lost when I was 13 years old and had guided me threw life until then this made my day

I remember being one of the few people with an action replay for my DS back in Elelmentary school. I was giving out hacked shiny legendary Pokémon like it was candy. People started giving me stuff, even extra copies of Pokémon games they had like crystal and gold for the game boy.
Those people who gave extra copies had absolutely no idea how much you could make from them in the future 💀

Rip creator of the Konami code :(
I wonder who made the Konami code. If only it was in the name, then I could remember
Rip Konami also, no more games from them
Yu-Gi-Oh! Is fueling the company at this point. Seriously someone buy Yu-Gi-Oh! From them, even Yu-Gi-Oh! Can’t take much more from Konami. In fact, just buy Konami’s entire digital entertainment division.
@@firewolf950tfwgaming7 If I could bend reality, one of the early things I'd do is force Konami to give Metal Gear to Platinum Games via ten trillion disposable dollars.
@@fakuri913 You spoke too soon
one nostalgic thing abt this, is that my dad and mom (who played video games when they became popular, like the originals) actually knew game codes, and it would just BLOW my little toddler mind, and thought they were the coolest
The 1st cheat code I remember using was the Atari 2600. Specifically Space Invaders. Hold on the reset switch down while powering the unit on. Release the reset switch and you'd get a double laser shot instead of a single shot. You could only fire one shot at a time till that shot hit an alien or completely missed before firing a 2nd shot. Now you could fire 2 shots at once. Don't even know how we found it. No internet in the 80's. Dont think there were game mags then either. Funny what we thought was cool at the time.
5:22 I need this bookmarked

How did it go
scott when are you reviewing pacman world 2 you cant just tease us like that
you can't tease a boy with his childhood dammit!
I remember renting the game genie for NES from Blockbuster. It came with this thick book of all the games and different codes and their function. I had so much fun with that thing as a kid.
I personally think it's really cool that a lot of the cheat codes from the original Crash Team Racing appear in the remake, even forcing you to unlock Penta Penguin by entering his original cheat code! I wish more modern games did stuff like that.
2:51 I DID THAT EXACT SAME THING

I remember my elementary school had a video game cheat code book in the library and I was able to memorize a couple of them.

Depends on what platform you are on. On PC, in some games, it can be as easy as download the file, and just place it inside a folder. For example in The Sims games, you place a .package file inside a specific folder to have more items available in the game. In other games, you can replace one of the level files with a new level (you should preferably backup the old level). Other games you have to dig into files, sometimes using hex-editors, to modify the code to accept the new files. - So it ranges from really easy, to very advanced. Depends on the game.
Knowing Scott, he'd probably interrupt talk about game mods to bring up his Mac again.
DLC ruined cheat codes! There I said it!
Brett F idk they're can be DLC and still some cool little cheat codes. Idk why people don't do it anymore.

4:07 Stop, you violated the law of gravity
0:43 There are really two reasons you don't see cheat codes nowadays. For cheats like infinite lives/health/etc., developers would use those cheats themselves so they could more easily test games. Now, developers have access to much better debugging tools so there's no need for those cheat codes to exist. As for fun cheats like Big Head mode, to quote Ask a Game Dev, "we have so many people on the team and so much scope already that asking people to work even more has a very real human cost that we aren’t as willing to pay. If we’ve got the energy for bonus extras, why not spend that effort improving the core game experience itself?"
I can't imagine adding a big head mode would be that more taxing. Texture files are just image files that can be modified in most image editing software, so they can just balloon them up while expanding the the head of the model.
@@SgtTwilight You gotta let everyone know you're adding it, gotta add a way for players to access it (menu option or whatever), gotta test it to make sure it's not buggy or crashes the game under one of the many circumstances games can have now. There's always the temptation to add one more small feature to a game, and sometimes you just gotta draw a line in the sand, dude.
Lozicle C. Actually you don’t need to let anyone know. People will figure it out eventually. Like the guy who found the Konami code
@@kjl3080 I meant you need to let the people on the development team know. Adding things to a game without letting people know is pushing your luck at the best of times. In terms of either letting players access it vs find it themselves, lots of publishers would ask why you would put so much effort into something such a small fraction of players will ever know about.
Lozicle C. It probably would be added in as a joke. After all, can’t they have fun?
I still remember most of the codes for Rogue Squadron. Things like flying the Millennium Falcon and imperial shuttle were mind blowing when I was a kid
I downloaded my own platformer game on some school desktops so my friends could play it at school and the reason they keep playing is because of the cheats.
At first, I was kind of mad that two of my friends were abusing them to get through the game I designed so carefully but overall, they were just having their own fun. Sometimes is fun to test the limits of a game and just play it in new ways with cheats.
Cheats add so much replay value and I think people stopped adding them in their games because you could get past every obstacle effortlessly with them.
Even with the inclusion of cheats, there's nothing stopping you from playing a game as normal and some people just enjoy games more with cheats which is why I'll include them in probably every game I ever make
