No one is going to comment that it's upside-down...

Driving me mad

Took me longer than I’d like to admit to finally turn my phone around and read it easier

Wit and Courage Have Served Thee Well. Thoust has gained an upvote!

[u/JerzK276T → u/ryan2stix]

Amazing game. Likely what got me hooked on the genre.

[u/edernest → u/ryan2stix]

I received that game by subscribing to Nintendo Power magazine back in the day (a free bonus at the time). It was an incredible gift that I played through several times, and one of many reasons Nintendo managed to make me a lifelong fan.

Surprised Faxanadu ian't nestled in there as well!

My childhood NES games were Final Fantasy, the MB/Duck Hunt duo cartridge you got, TMNT, and a not too mainstream called XEXYZ. Good memories, I tell ya.

That have genie manual unlocked a core memory for me. I spend so much time trying to type in different random things to see what it did.

[u/taboo8614 → u/Fluxdada]

I would always “accidentally” enter wrong characters just so I could press B and watch them explode into pieces

[u/Total-Khaos → u/taboo8614]

OP, you're fired for not rotating the box...

[u/xbearsandporschesx → u/Total-Khaos]

some men just want to watch the world burn

[u/Madmanmelvin → u/Fluxdada]

Best random code I ever got was one that turned all the Goombas in Super Marios Bros into Bowsers.

[u/Fluxdada → u/Madmanmelvin]

Game+ mode unlocked

[u/tunachilimac → u/Fluxdada]

I didn’t know what it was called at the time but I taught myself hex with the game genie by changing codes to see what happened.

[u/Astrojef]

A box of games from "our" childhood. ))

[u/karmaquarter]

Cobra 🐍 Triangle is underrated

[u/steelhorizon → u/karmaquarter]

Came here to say this, glad I'm not the only one.

[u/tango_41 → u/steelhorizon]

Right here with ya.

[u/Robber_Crab]

Cobra Triangle... makes sense having the game genie for that one

[u/taboo8614 → u/Robber_Crab]

I think I exclusively played Cobra Triangle with the Game Genie

[u/half_flush]

Didn't even look at the games after seeing the Game Genie and remembering all the time wasted on that fun little thing.

[u/MicMcDev]

Cobra Triangle was and still is my jam. The music was AMAZING.

[u/crzapy]

Man, my NES got sold at a garage sale eons ago.

This makes me sad and nostalgic.

[u/edernest → u/crzapy]

Traded all my childhood memories (several in this photo from OP) for a PS1 in late 90s. The PlayStation was good for what it was but what a waste in retrospect.

[u/EZ-PZ-Japa-NEE-Z]

I played the fuck out of Dragon Warrior.

[u/taboo8614 → u/EZ-PZ-Japa-NEE-Z]

I was terrified of some of the monsters

[u/raz0rbl4d3]

looks like some rare carts in there, felix the cat fetches $100+

[u/MankeyMeat]

Two copies of Track & Field ll; one must have stopped working or something.

[u/uncleshady]

When you absolutely cannot get enough A S T Y A N A X

[u/Dr--Duke]

Wow that game genie case brings back great memories.

[u/BoomBapZapp]

Oh my God I got the Game Genie as a Kid too

[u/xjdhd]

After my own heart, are ye?

[u/Snargleface]

Thanks for reminding me how awesome Astyanax was

[u/GhOStedY0U]

Game genie - the original and first ever micro transaction that every kid had to have

[u/Earthwick]

I always look for The Three Stooges game and Little Nemo. Rarely see those but I played the heck out of them.

[u/ChanceConfection3]

Heck yeah I see Abadox

[u/Born_Pension_8210]

I love Astynax but why two copies?
