Back in my day, we had to use cheat codes to unlock characters and secret levels because there wasnโt actually an unlocking system.
Like, you didnโt unlock Reptile in Mortal Kombat. You had to use a cheat code to play as him.

I paid sixty bucks for Cammy, Fei-Long, T-Hawk and Chun-Li.
That was after paying every time I lost and paying-to-win in a whole bunch of games.
Man, you donโt want to know how much cash a single four player playthrough of TMNT could cost.
Chun Li
You mean Dee Jay? Chun Li was in the original release. Everyone else there came in the new challengers.

But how is this an RPG meme? Surely you actually did pay, for new character supplements etc.

But grandpa, how did you earn a sense of pride and accomplishment if you didnโt throw real money to the business men for every little thing you do?!

And if you donโt have time to play, they add a cheat code to unlock everything.

I just remembered that a couple games i played as a kid didnโt have save system so they just gave codes that needed to be entered the next time to go back there in the game XD

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 donโt have them using GameShark.
I didnโt 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.

and sometimes you didnโt 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 arenโt in the base game

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.
