Cheat codes were such a nice option for games with highly questionable difficulty or progression.

A lot of newer games have "story mode" or other accessibility options for an easy playthrough.

But yeah I really miss cheat codes, especially the wackier ones.

I miss them too. I would never use a game genie these days, but one of the coolest things I did was with Super Mario Bros. I accidentally put an X instead of a Z at the end of a code that was supposed to make Mario always stay big, but it ended up making Mario always stay small, even with mushrooms or fireballs. My sister and I were elated!
