Hi Dark, Personally, I think cheat codes should only be generated after the player has completed the game normally first. One reason I feel that way is for the fact there are those types of cheaters who never play a game without cheat codes, and have the audacity to say the game was too easy,

Hi Al, Hahaha. I love your description of cheat code based play, and in many ways it is apt. The whole point of cheat codes is, I think, it is a way to get some amusement or added fun out of the game. As long as the person doesn't take them too seriously they can be used to create some fun

Hi Dark, That's actually the reason I don't offer cheat codes in my games. I want people to appreciate my games as they are intended to be played. I generally take my game play seriously so see no need to add special hints and cheats into the games. I do, however, recognise the type of humor

i personally use cheat codes more in mainstream games than in audio games, and usually either to compensate for a sight problem, or lack of a particular feature. I for instance use level select or skip codes in many Snes games to serve the function that passwords and saves serve later,
