What is a Game Genie?
The Game Genie for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) is a cheat device developed by Codemasters and distributed by Galoob, designed to modify game data and enhance the gaming experience. Functioning as a pass-through device, it connects between the NES console and the game cartridge, allowing players to input specific codes that alter various aspects of gameplay. These modifications can provide advantages such as infinite lives, invincibility, or starting at any level, thereby customizing the difficulty and enjoyment of the game.
Upon powering on the NES with the Game Genie attached, players are greeted with a code entry screen where they can input predetermined codes corresponding to desired cheats. These codes directly manipulate the game’s data, enabling effects like increased power, speed, or access to hidden content.
