One thing I never understood is why cheat on a video game. I mean a video game is supposed to be challenging and when you beat it or advance to the next level you’re supposed to feel a sense of accomplishment. If you cheat like people did with Genie what’s the point? So Game Genie was developed during the 90s so cheaters could have the ability to cheat with ease. Mind you yes it was developed during the 90s and not 80s but Nintendo NES was a product of the 80s so Game Genie deserves a spot on here. I’m sharing an interesting article about it below.
