/vr/ - Retro Games

I use infinite lives cheats in every single retro game that uses that system. Because game over is an outdated mechanic which only purpose is to artificially extend the length of the game by making you replay all the parts that you already mastered to get you the part that is giving you trouble. I feel no shame for this whatsoever and when I do this I enjoy these games substantially more because the stress of having to start from scratch is gone. This is the definitive way to play these games and you should try it too. The challenge that the game presents remains intact, and so does the satisfaction, it's not the same than using save-states, the only difference is that you don't have to play the entire fucking game again in case you happen to run out of lives.

Pic unrelated btw.
