Let’s be honest, even if it isn’t too difficult, some of us just don’t like a challenge. It may be the easy way out, but it works and nobody gets hurt.

Before the Internet age, cheat codes were much coveted artifacts of the gaming world. If you knew a cheat you were the coolest kid in the school. It must have been awesome to have been the first person to discover the legendary Konami Code.
