“hey everybody, an old man is talking!”
Original tagline of C-Span

And there was a cheat-code to unlock them all immediately, in case you got the game to play with your friends. That way you could skip grinding the single player campaign to unlock characters for multiplayer.
Or if you were like me and just wanted to see what would happen when you turned on every cheat at once, including games that don’t have them using GameShark.
I didn’t understand how it worked at first and was worried the GameShark was going to brick my PlayStation one day because it made some of my games crash.

Medieval II: Total War didn’t try to sell you Poland as DLC.

And if you don’t have time to play, they add a cheat code to unlock everything.
and sometimes you didn’t even have to use a cheat code, you just press a key and open a console

I bought a game and paid for the dlc as part of one of the tiers. When I started the game, all the unlockables that I usually grind and pay for with game money, were unlocked as part of the tier i bought. I was so disappointed, I felt robbed of like a good 30 hours of gameplay that I no longer had to do. Just let me unlock the shit on my own, why would anyone pay to unlock everything? I just wanted the extra characters that aren’t in the base game

madden ultimate team takes this to another level by having you pay and also grind at the same time and then a year later your progress gets reset

Back in my day we unlocked characters by pressing a series of buttons in a specific order and at the right moment

We had to, because your progression was deleted except for the score on the leaderboards between rounds. We also had to put coins in to play.

I really miss cheat codes. It was a special kind of fun to explore all the cheats, clip through everything, be invincible. I hate it when developers force a certain experience on me. I bought it, I should be allowed to play however I want.

Back in my day, we unlocked characters by meeting a specific list of obscure criteria, which are only possible at random times, during gameplay that are only ever hinted at through a cryptic set of clues hidden throughout the game.

Back in my day, we had to use cheat codes to unlock characters and secret levels because there wasn’t actually an unlocking system.
Like, you didn’t unlock Reptile in Mortal Kombat. You had to use a cheat code to play as him.
I completely forgot that doing all the bullshit for Reptile was just to fight him and get a 10 million score bonus for defeating him, not to actually play as him.

“We picked princess to float two and a half screens. Then we would defeat birdo, and play a slot machine which we called a one-arm bandit on account of the crank being made from the old fake arms they gave civil war amputeeeees.”

It felt rewarding.
Was just playing Sonic Triple Trouble 16bit and unlocked Knuckles at the end, which not only allows you to play with him but the levels/story line is unique. Pleasant surprise!

I think most people probably aren’t looking at the community name. Confused me too.
