Fun story: When I was a kid, I learned who Al Gore was by using a cheat code to unlock him in NBA Jam. I actually thought it was a code for "All Gore" that was misspelled and was expecting blood, but instead... some boring old man.

Watching snesdrunk feels like being brought to 10 years old again.. Warm and nostalgic

Love seeing your secret-code notebook. It reminded me of Nintendo Power’s “Classified Information” section.

This was really nostalgic to watch. One of my favorite FF6 secrets is how early on in the game, when you first meet Banon, he'll ask Terra if she'll join the Returners, and if you answer "No" 3 times, then the game will still carry on like normal, but one of the Returners will give you a Genji Glove before you go. It's a nifty little secret, because the Genji Glove lets you equip a second weapon in your shield slot, and you otherwise wouldn't get one until much later.

Its awesome to see that I’m not the only person who kept their cheat code books as they got older! I still have a little blue book that I bought at school during a book fair in the early 90’s and filled it up with cheats and passwords! I keep the book with my SNES collection and I will never part with it. (Also nice space balls reference for street fighter 2 turbo)
-
What a fun video. The Street Fighter code also works on SF2, as you may do it while the Capcom sign shows up and it will allow both players to select the same character. I remember this has only been discovered a few weeks after the game was released and I was renting it for like 3 weekends in a row, so when I found out about it I said to my father "well, I guess we'll have to rent it once again!". Fun memories.

Seeing that notebook full of cheat codes took me back to the mid 90s...I used to take a piece of paper and a pencil to the grocery store & write down various codes for SNES & Playstation while my mom was at the checkout. We were built different 😂
-
I liked the codes of Killer Instinct; playing with Eyedol or a specific map to play on, so you can perform the stage fatality.
-
“Genesis Duhhhhhhh” I freaking love that.
-
Hell yeah. You could keep this series going for several episodes. So many cool cheat codes on the SNES
-
In Final Fantasy VI, I always loved using the Vanish/Doom trick while fighting those T-Rex in that forest. I was able to gain so many levels because of that 😄
-
MK3 on SNES actually has 3 secret menus - "Kool Stuff" which you mentioned (Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, A, B, A) but also "Kooler Stuff" (SELECT, A, B, Right, Left, Down, Down, Up, Up) and finally "Scott's Stuff" (X, B, A, Y, Up, Left, Down, Right, Down) which all contain different cheats. There's also a sound test menu that can be unlocked (A, Y, B, X). So yeah that game was packed to the roof with cheats (and that's not even counting the Kombat Codes you could enter on the VS screen).
-
I remember in the first Donkey Kong Country game there's some codes you can enter on the game select screen - there's the "BARRAL" code that gives you 50 lives, and the "BAD BUDDY" code that lets you freely switch characters in a 2 player game, which is total chaos lol.

Cheat codes were one of the most memorable in video game history,and it still does after so many years. The Konami code is one of those famous codes. It’s incredible to see these cheat codes.
-
Always a good morning with your videos
-
It’s not a cheat code, but I watched a friend of mine defeat Culex with Mallow’s star smash. It took forever and he never messed up the timing. Probably the craziest gaming moment I ever saw in person. Guy was sweating, and I wonder if his hand ever started working correctly again. 20+ years and I’m still impressed.
-
In Faceball 2000, the SNES version of MidiMaze, you can unlock the entire Game Boy version's puzzle mode by holding L and R when selecting the number of players at the title screen! When the screen fades to black, then release L and R and the main menu will have a new option called "Cyberscape" to play in.
-
I miss these secret codes. Whenever we were playing a game for the first time...we would just wonder if they have a secret code or other secrets. It just made games so much more fun to play.
-
My brother and I created our own game genie codes for Super Mario World. We had the booklet, and then painstakingly altered the codes one letter at a time to see what kind of wacky results we would get. We ended up with some crazy things. A jump so high that you literally jump over the entire level in one shot, a jump that let you float like one of those dino ghost things, every coin is a 1up... Tons of fun.
