We all know that a lot of old games had a password function. Quick /vr/ are there some passwords ingrained in your mind still from when you were like 7? I still have one:

Ecco taught me never to play on password screens again

>> No.387797

When I had rondo of blood and super castlevania 4 I never used the passwords except to access the second loop.
I did everything from the start

>> No.387804

I'm fucked, the only games I can remember at the moment use 4x4 passwords.

A lot of retro games had password systems that were fairly easy to crack just by experimenting. I remember crafting a bunch of Mega Man series passwords with impossible-to-get combinations of items. If I ever find all of my notes, I'll be sure to let /vr/ know.

Oh shit I remember accidentally finding this as a kid. What the fuck was up with the name of that file? It was a bunch of random characters.

I >>387889 remember making some on Mega Man X2 or X3 with overlapping armor upgrades that caused some weird glitches. I think Mega Man 7 also glitched up if you made a password with too many weapons from the second set of four bosses before earning the first four.

I remember playing Krusty's Super Fun House and trying out my own name to see if it did anything. OCD forced me to center in with spaces, and BAM! Level select.

Sure. It's been confirmed to be hardcoded, unlike every other password in the game. And it's exclusive to the North American release. NAR Password.

The Metroid password to play without armor isn't actually a glitch, it's a feature available if you finish the game under an hour.
