I know saves are way more convenient, but there was something to passwords that felt special... it feels similar to the difference between physical and digital media, the latter being way more of a convenience, but the former had that feel to it, a special feeling of putting the cartridge in, to me it was the same for passwords, especially if they were short and sweet, progress was satisfying...

I especially loved it the password screen had its own OST and/or artwork, it made if feel so nice to input, when they weren't long, it's something saves can't replicate, despite still being superior.

One title that stuck out to me was Spider-Man on Game Boy Color, it's nothing special, though the OST in the password screen, alongside the art... it has this dark atmosphere that pulled me in a lot.
