RAM - Random Access Memories - Code Junkies Unite!

I fully admit there are games that I love that are in my collection that I could not even possibly defeat without my beloved cheat devices. I say beloved only because they save me from pulling out my hair in pure frustraition over not getting past this part or that in favorite game. Take Rolling Thunder 3 Genesis for example. When I first got that game

I could not even put my finger on what I even thought about that game or if I even liked that darn thing. But the more I play it, the more I like that good example of purest frustraition. A game so hard it is literally impossible to beat it without a Game Genie. Like what could also be said about a lot of other games I own.

 

You might call this a dumb cheat but it certainly saves my ass more than once. I call this trick "Key Saves". Which are points within a game it is either by dumb luck or a cheat device you no longer can use to get something in a game you can no longer get. The latter refers to a off brand Game Shark a friend gave me for my PS1. It was the kind you plug

in to the PS1, well after I had it for a while I soon discovered it had a built in modchip and if you say boot up with any genuine Playstation 1 disc you could put in any PS1 type disc and it would run/ even save games with it. I even discovered a trick which I say only applies to switchable cheat devices. If say you have a code that when you use it

the game either won't boot up or gives you a message that the save went corrupt. The trick is to turn the cheat device off, and do what you have to do to get in to your game, then turn the cheat device back on. You would not believe the number of codes I got to work that way. But getting back to these "Key Saves" and what could not be a better example than a game I am currently playing Beyond the Beyond PS1. It is really a fun game to play, a game with a lot of twists and turns in the storyline and enough puzzles to more than fill a any PS1 game. Near the begining of the game there is this face puzzle. You know the type of puzzle where you have to move pieces around a grid to form the picture. I use to be real good at those types of puzzles when I was a kid. But that was many years ago, and I really don't play those types of puzzles any more and haven't played them in a long time. Then I found Beyond the Beyond about a year ago. I fell in love with this game shortly after it came out, and when this now former friend got rid of his Playstation promised to sell me this amoug other games and didn't. I looked, I did not realize it would take nearly 10 years to find another copy. But it took me 3 1/2 weeks to finally solve that puzzle. There even was a point I planned to post on the board of how I would of paid cash for a save to get me past this point. But now since I got this save, I never have to do this puzzle again, and buy the way this save only by passes this puzzle. Not sections of the game, which say another save does.

 

Since gscentral.com and became gscentral.org and there are such places as ww.cmgsccc.com and their forums by the way I'm Frugam there. If say you have any Gameshark codes that aren't there go ahead and post them there like I did with some Gameboy and PS1 codes I had. Code Junkies beware or have fun depending on how you look at this. There is this code for Rage Racer PS1 called the Darwin Awards JATO car code, it is actually a superspeed code for that game. How and why that code ever game mislabeled might go back to InterAct and those Gameshark pocket guides Prima used to publish but who really knows.
