"Unlisted Cheats" is the Unsung Hero of the Retro Gaming Community.

 

@new_cheat_news  is breaking retro ground.

    It's rare, but sometimes new cheats are discovered for very old games, and when it happens, it's always a buzz on the internet. Remember when Narpas Sword was discovered in Metroid? Insanity. Most games have hard coded passwords not seen by conventional password checks or Hex editors. Well, that was true until Unlisted Cheats blew up on twitter. 


    All it took was an insane discovery in Super Punch-Out!! for SNES to blow the retro gaming community open, and transform what we know about cheat, hints and secrets in general. Skip to any one fight, new two player mode, debug mode, warp to chosen ending, sound test, and a few more. Any one of these codes would be a crazy discovery, but to find so many and all at once is just absurd. Is he done? Oh no. 

Top Gear 3000 - Only SNES game to use the DSP-4 Chip.

Previously, only two passwords were known to have any kind of advantage, and no one had found any more. How many did Unlisted Cheats find? If you guessed 17, you would be correct. Check out the links above, give the guy a follow as he breaks open a series of Game Boy games, finding 20+ year old easter eggs and hidden modes.
