Item Description

Before cheats lived in menus, they lived in a chunky piece of hardware that sat between your Super Nintendo and the game. Galoob's Game Genie for SNES plugs into the console, takes your cartridge in the top, and boots to a code screen where you can enter up to five codes before the game starts. Each one quietly rewrites part of the game as it runs: extra lives, more health, higher jumps, a different starting stage.

The idea came from British developer Codemasters, and it was controversial enough that Nintendo took Galoob to court over the original NES version. Galoob won, and the Game Genie became a fixture of early-'90s gaming, with players trading codes from Galoob's code books and the pages of game magazines.

Part of the appeal was always experimentation rather than simply winning. Players used it to make punishing games manageable, to break favorites in hilarious ways, and to see what Super Mario World or Street Fighter II looked like with the rules bent. On a shelf of SNES gear, it is the accessory with the best stories attached.
