I saw a post about Game Genie, and someone said (I think NES_Luke) that a game genie most of the time helps play the games better. (like the games work better instead of a grey screen. I was just wondering, what does a game genie...really do. Thanks!

Yea, for original NES' they help a lot. When the game geinie is placed in the NES, the metal peice that make contact with the opening in the nes are closer. So it allows the NES to read the GG better. A NES game's metal peice does not make as much contact with the opening in the NES. So if you place a GG in the NES, and a game in the GG, the game is more likely to work.

Really. Wow. Thanks. I think I'll pick one up. Thanks again.

They are not easy to find, I reccomend eBay. I wish I never lost mine

A Game Genie was made for using cheat codes in the first place, though.

I hope I get my Genie from Luke in the next days... they're really hard to find.

Really? I have found 2 places to buy one so far.

Seriously? Dang, thats pretty good. I can't find any old pawn shops where I live.

Is ten dollars a good price for one?

I think 10$ is good. Grab it!

Ok, I will. Thanks.

As far as codes for Game Genie, there's two sites I highly recommend.


Has all the official Galoob Game Genie codes


Has a large base of user made Game Genie codes

Funny thing is, i found out that trick about 2 years ago. It's magic!
