- "In today's world of gaming, a big complaint from old-school gamers is that the video games of today often hold your hand through their single player, offering very little challenge. Back in the days of Nintendo, Sega, and, to some extent, systems like N64 and PlayStation, games were much more difficult. Thankfully, with difficult games came cheat codes, Game Genie, and the like. With that in mind, I give you guys my top five games that you needed cheat codes to beat."

Description[]
Top 5 Games that need Cheat Codes with Sohinki
List[]
- Quake: The "nightmare" difficulty setting is nearly impossible to beat, but a downloadable add-on existed that would summon Cujo, who would follow the player around and attack enemies, easing the overall difficulty.
- ToeJam & Earl: The most difficult part of the game was the fact that players could fall off one level down to a previous one (or, in some cases, players could fall down multiple levels), but a cheat code existed to help with this.
- Super Contra: "Amazing and amazingly difficult" to beat with only the three lives players were given, Sohinki remembers that the "Konami code" did not work with this title; rather, a different set of inputs were required for a certain cheat code.
- Bubble Bobble: Sohinki does not consider this game to be particularly difficult, but you had a limited number of lives to get through all 100 levels; however, there was a cheat code that allowed players to skip straight to level 99.
- Vectorman: Sohinki remembers this game as "extremely difficult" and recalls a cheat code for extra lives that involved running and jumping around the Sega logo during the opening screen.
