Cheats

     Cheats, the lowest one can go to get help. But hey, it's a living for some people (personally, I don't like to cheat unless I've beaten the game already). Just click on the link to get to the codes you want, or scroll down the old fashioned way.

     P.P.S. Let me just get it out of the way. The Konami code is UP, UP, DOWN, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT, B, A then select, start (for 2p) or start (for 1p). This works for games such as Contra, Lifeforce, Gradius, and more. Enjoy!
