Great accessory... for cheaters The Galoob corporation, best known for being the producer of Micro Machines, decided to try its hand at something a little different in the nineties - video game enhancers. What they came up with was an accessory called the Game Genie, which allowed gamers to enter codes for different abilities in games. One of the systems that saw the release of this enhancer was the Super Nintendo. Read on for my review of this accessory.
PROS: -The accessory easily fits into your gaming console, and your game easily fits into the top of the accessory. -Just about every Super Nintendo game out there has some codes. -You can have up to five codes entered at once. -If you're having trouble in a game, more than likely there is a code that will get you around it. -Since the unit is no longer being produced, you can snatch one up for a good price.
CONS: -As another reviewer stated, this doesn't work with the newer, smaller Super Nintendo gaming consoles. -You can ONLY have five codes entered at once. -Some codes actually require more than one code to be entered, limiting the unit's effectiveness. -The unit can cause unnecessary glitching in your games (fortunately this is very rare.)
OVERALL: If you've got a Super Nintendo and you absolutely have to cheat at a game, you may as well cheat using the most trusted name in game enhancers! Pay a visit to your local used games shop, and they'll probably have some of these; they aren't that tough to find.
must have it is a must have if you like to cheat at games a lot
Does Not Work on the Smaller Snes units This is a really cool device to gain an advantage for a bunch of old but awesome snes games. Unfortunately Nintendo put a lockout chip in the last version of the Snes they released ( the smaller one with a push button reset switch )( It works on just about all of the older units with two large purple slider barswitches ) [web page] has a bunch of codes for just about any game you can think of, it also loads quick and has very little advertising.
Enjoy beating the **** out of all the games that used to be soo tough. There's even a code to beat all the Bosses in Chrono Trigger with one hit!!
Great as the next cheat thingie This is one of the oldest cheat thingies that I know of! Even though you may not have one of the systems ( SNES,Sega,Etc...) It's can really help your friend or cousin that still holds on to their old systems out of really tight spots! They could even give you something in return! Anyways, one of the main reasons to get this old cheat thingies is that it's almost just like gameshark! It can give you unlimited lives, unlimited sheilding, invicibility, etc. but you can have a great time trying to beat a really old (but really good!) game that is really hard!
