Poll of the Day > Did you ever use devices like GameShark and Action Replay back in the day?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Yes.

I had a Gameshark for the N64 and an AR for the Gamecube. I never used them to "cheat", per se - just screw around with things like zero gravity or wonky physics for a laugh (doing things like the eternally-growing stalchild glitch from OoT).

I also had a Gameshark for the Saturn. Didn't use that one for cheating, though. On a totally unrelated note, I had a few games from Japan in my Saturn collection. Shame you ordinarily couldn't play those on a North American Saturn.

Also bought a Game Genie for the NES long after the fact, but I have yet to actually use it.

I had one for the NES, Genesis, SNES, PS1, and PS2.

Game Genie for NES and SNES and Game Shark for PS1 and... I think I might've had an Action Replay or something for PS2? I don't really remember using that much.

But yeah used the others a lot, especially Game Genie for NES. NES was the newest console I had until like 1998 so got a lot of mileage out of it. >_> Sometimes if a friend was over we'd use it simply to cheat with infinite lives or health or whatever to just get through a game for fun, but I mainly used it just to do weird things like always have the Hammer Bros. suit in SMB3 or be able to jump in the air, etc.

Game Genie for the NES and GameBoy. Never used the latter much, but I used the hell out of the NES version.
