For some reason I thought I had remembered reading about pressing the button for extra lives, or for clipping, but not having the game it was for, when I was reading about it at the time.

Incidentally, Game genie and Gameshark were the first time I realized I was committing piracy (or any crime), when I was asked to leave a store for writing down a code that was in one of those 10,000 Game Codes books. It's been a long sordid tale of hidden algebra notecards and microscopic formula sheets ever since.

This life of crime chose me.
