    I feel old. It wasnt just dev mode, Many games legit just had codes you could enter in a menu to unlock special features/modes/weapons temporarily. Hell in pokemon Gen 3 through Gen 5(?) That was how you unlocked the mystery gift menu. “Everybody happy wireless/WIFI connection”.

      I know what they are lol I grew up with an NES. The codes came about so devs could quickly do things in game.

        That’s how it started, but then they sometimes grew to their own level of features too.

        I don’t believe that Age of Empires II needed shooting convertibles for debugging.

        I miss fun stuff like showing off cheatcodes to friends in couch games. And couch games in general. And friends. ☹️
