1 . If you ' re going to shave without a mirror in the shower , do it sober . 2 . Your underwear will never be as white as the day you got them . 3 . Generosity is the purest form of egotism . <| sep |> Have an upvote , because Joust and Combat were the shit on the 2600 for 8 year old me ! Us geezers need to stick together ! I completely share your sentiment , and I think I might be able to help explain the cheatertroll quandry . Look at the video games we played when we were younger , be it the arcade at the bowling alley , or the NES at home . Pretty much all of them were linear to a degree . Do you remember how many Game Over , Continue ? screens did we see ? How many quarters did we drop on that stupid Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles arcade game , just to put that bastard Krang down ? We played and learned from mistakes , and kept going until we won or ran out of quarters . We didn ' t have access to cheats like they did . The Game Genie on NES changed a lot , made games easier , and started the trend of Okay , I died 3 times , time to turn on infinite lives and beat this quick . The cheats added a quick thrill of beating a game , but sacrificed the skill of knowing how to play the game . People started thinking , why work hard , if I can make it easy with cheats ? Oh dear . I ' m ranting . old age and all . Anyways , my point is that we can blame all cheaters one one thing its ALL CODEMASTERS FAULT !
