If all the players have been exposed to some classic games in the early days, so many will know some cheats, right? The so-called cheats refer to changing the game process or content in an "abnormal" way in the game to reduce the difficulty, such as increasing life, invincibility or jumping levels, all of which belong to the category of cheats.
Most of the game cheats are added by manufacturers to test or add fun, and some are detected by players for untested bugs in the game, which make the game easier to complete. To use a cheat, players usually have to enter a specific series of keystrokes in a specific situation or screen, or get a specific special item.
In the early days, due to the difficulty of obtaining information, some of the cheats were misinformed or fabricated between the store and the player, and some were fake cheats deliberately leaked out by game magazines. Whether it is true or not, it made the players at that time spend a lot of painstaking research, and even became the topic of small talk after tea and dinner. This time, I will analyze some of the long-standing secrets to explore the authenticity of these secrets.
Super Mario Bros. -1 level
Super Mario Bros. is Nintendo's signature game, and naturally there are countless true and false cheats flowing out. Is the long-rumored -1 level between players real or fake? After flipping through various reference books and challenging them countless times according to the rumored steps, you can indeed enter the -1 level. As long as the water pipe before leaving the underground world at 1-2, knock out the penultimate bricks in the state of the big Mario, half of the body crouches outside the water pipe, and then jumps to the junction of the last brick and the water pipe in a crouched state, if successful, the body will be embedded in the wall, and then slide to the right, enter the jump pipe on the right and enter the -1 level. However, the cassette version only loops infinitely at the -1 level, and you must play the magnetic version to enter the -2 and -3 levels.
Double Dragon gets the Demon King's machine gun
In the arcade version of "Double Cut Dragon", the boss with the machine gun must be defeated in the end, and the early players who played "Double Cut Dragon" in the game hall should have heard of the secret book of the machine gun. Rumor has it that as long as you can reach the stand where the leader is standing, you can get a machine gun hanging on the wall, and the use of machine guns can kill the enemy with one blow. After painstaking verification, people can indeed be thrown into the stands, but the machine gun cannot be taken down even if it exerts the strength to suckle! Therefore, this cheat is only a rumored fake cheat, but the player's fantasy about the powerful machine gun.
Street Fighter's unique moves such as a yang finger
Street Fighter was one of the most rumored games in the early days, and the most widely circulated among players was the "one-hit one-yang finger". According to rumors, at the beginning of the game, you must start grinding the rocker hard, and when you grind the joystick very hard, you can use a yang finger when you press six buttons at the same time. However, my rocker grinds to the skin of my hand, and the button is pressed to elastic fatigue, or I can't use the legendary Yang Finger. In fact, the so-called special moves such as yiyang finger, thousand hand Guanyin and red wave fist are all fake cheats, but the game hall owner at that time fabricated it and deliberately made up a trick to make everyone pay more "tuition".
Doraemon uses the song of the Fat Tiger to destroy enemies
If you have an original Japanese Nintendo Red and White machine at home, have you ever noticed that there is a volume-adjustable microphone above the 2P controller? In fact, in addition to singing when bored, this microphone can also be used as a weapon to defeat the enemy in the game! Taking the game "Doraemon" as an example, after the Demon Realm chapter rescues the fat tiger, as long as the microphone is turned on and shouted in an emergency, all the enemies on the screen can be eliminated at once.
In the Undersea level, players can also use the microphone to call Doraemon at a specific location, and take the four treasures at once, eliminating the trouble of running around. Although this cheat is so simple, it has also been rumored to be a fake cheat. This is because most of the domestic players' red and white machines are not original Japanese products, but small overlords, so there is almost no microphone function, and it is impossible to use this unique skill.
The Slam cheats of Sparrow Academy
"Sparrow Academy" is an "important youth memory" for many players, in addition to playing mahjong, there are also eye-catching pictures to see after completing the level. However, the treacherous store will set the difficulty of the game to a very high level in order to make the player invest more coins, causing the player to always hit the button after firing the gun. Combining anger and error, this Slam cheat was discovered and tested to be usable. As long as you press and hold the "I, K, N" buttons at the same time when introducing the character at the beginning of the screen, the card will appear a full combination at the beginning. With this invincible cheat, even if the boss is cunning, the player can still play through the level as much as possible, and then press the H button of the machine to explode.
Contra adds 30 health
Contra is a super classic game that every man, and even every player has to play several times in their lifetime, and the game's cheats "up and down, left and right BA" may also be synonymous with the most well-known cheats. Although this cheat is so common, I often hear many netizens complain that it is a fake cheat. After careful investigation, it turned out that it was because of its age and the secret techniques were too complicated, and there were erroneous versions such as "up and down left left right BABA" in word of mouth. This cheatbook is also Konami's signature cheatbook, and many games produced by the company such as Space Cruiser, Crazy Shooting, Castlevania or Metal Gear Solid can use this cheatbook.
How Super Mario Bros. 9-1 entered
If you've played Super Mario Bros., you'll know that after completing the 8-4 level, you'll cycle through the game from 1-1. However, there is a secret book circulating that Super Mario has a special way to go from 6-3 or 8-4 to 9-1, respectively. However, according to the rumored cheats field test, the 6-3 shells will indeed appear white lines when stepped on, but Mario o'll not be able to climb up. Similarly, 8-4 can jump to the ceiling with bugs, but when they reach the end, they will get stuck and cannot continue to move forward, let alone jump off the water pipe.
The Qiankun throw cheats of "The Legend of the Paladin Sword"
It is said that in the "Paladin Legend" generation game, as long as you continue to use the "Qiankun One Throw" to throw less than 5,000 yuan of money, the money held will soar. But many players reported that after they threw their money into pennilessness, the money on their bodies did not surge, and the result of exhaustion had to turn the protagonist of the game into a beggar. Based on the results of my actual investigation, this cheat is indeed valid, but why can't some people use it? It turned out that the "Paladin Legend" generation was very popular, in addition to the earliest DOS version, there were also CD versions, Windows 95 versions, and new remakes. Although the game's levels and flow are similar, this cheat can only be used in the DOS version, and it is no wonder that players in other versions have to complain bitterly.
Double Dragon uses the hidden character Guo Xiongjun
"Double Dragon" is a very popular arcade machine, which has been transplanted to many platforms, and the well-known blood series is also developed by this company. Therefore, there is a rumor that there is a kind of cheats, as long as you pick up the 2P microphone and shout "Kuniyojun" (Japanese) during the title screen, while holding down the A button of 1P and pressing the start button, the game will appear after the game starts. Guo Xiongjun was originally a master of fighting, if it can really be used in the game, it must be like a tiger, but unfortunately this is fake.
Beautiful music hidden in the Game of Little Bees
Little Bee is a well-known classic shooter, but it's simple to play and doesn't have any background music. According to an ancient "Cheats Book", as long as you press and hold the A and B buttons of the 2P controller, and then continue to press the Reset button of the host computer dozens of times, if you succeed, a series of flowing numbers will appear on the screen and you will start playing beautiful music. After field testing, this seemingly unreliable cheat does exist, but this beautiful music sounds a little sad.
"Devouring Heaven and Earth 2" Zhang Fei's butterfly fall and grass sword
Devouring Heaven and Earth 2 is a classic arcade machine familiar to arcade players. In addition to the basic moves and common weapons in the game, players also rumor that Zhang Fei can use the "Butterfly Fall" move, and in a certain level, he can obtain the "Grass Sword" that can cut the enemy in two. According to my field operation, Zhang Fei is at a distance from the enemy just to hit with his fist, turn a circle + punch button, you can use the parabola type of rotation throw move, this is the legendary butterfly fall. The legendary Grass Sword is hidden in the upper left fence at the beginning of the last level. Just light K in the middle of the fence, you will drop a treasure chest, and open it to open a super strong grass sword that splits two pieces.
The above is the true and false cheats of some classic games that I have compiled, so in addition to these, what game cheats do you remember? Leave a message in the comments section to discuss with everyone.
