welcome to watch mojo and today we're
counting down our picks for the top 10
hardest games to make you rage cheat
[Music]
for this list we're taking a look at
difficult games that'll infuriate
you so much you might resort to cheating
which games made you so mad that you
resorted to cheating let us know in the
comments below
number 10 castlevania 2 simon's quest
[Music]
the first castlevania was hard enough
with enemies that caused knockback and
send you falling down
pits but castlevania 2 somehow found a
way to make things harder
it wasn't by simply throwing more
enemies on the screen though this time
players had to explore the world and go
to locations in a particular order
unfortunately castlevania 2 doesn't
really give you any hints as to where
you need to go
or how to solve the puzzles so expect to
wander around aimlessly until you
finally decide to pull up a walk
through no judgment if you do

number 9 simcity 2000
[Music]
as basic as they might look at first
glance city management and management
games in general are a lot harder than
they seem
and this is especially true of simcity
2000
part of what makes this title tricky for
players is how you need to get the tax
rate high enough to fund your projects
and low enough to get people to move
into your city sure you can spend your
time
trying to find that sweet spot or you
can use a cheat code that gives you cash
instantly
better be careful if you go the ladder
out however as your chances of facing a
disaster will increase
upon each use
number 8 teenage mutant ninja turtles
the nes teenage mutant ninja turtles has
its moments when it comes to difficult
levels but the most
infuriating of all is that damned damn
level
here you'll have to disarm bombs while
navigating around electrified seaweed
and currents
surely there must be a way to bypass
these aquatic threats and even skip the
level right
well kind of it is possible to rig the
game where the seaweed is totally
harmless
but to do this you would have needed a
game genie or some other game hacking
device
earliest example of pay to win we like
to think so
[Music]
number seven twisted metal black
[Music]
as what could arguably be described as
the hardest game in the franchise
twisted metal black kicked the asses of
many players with its relentless ai
and lethal weaponry do we dare mention
the torment that was the minion and
warhawk boss fights
if you really wanted to see every
character's ending you either had to
play until you were a freaking master
or just press a few buttons and activate
god mode
for the record one of our staff is a
massive twisted metal fan and even he
had to resort to this cheat just to save
his sanity
[Applause]
number six final fantasy 8.
[Music]
one of the annoying things about rpgs is
the massive amounts of grinding and xp
farming that some of them will force you
to sit through can't beat this one boss
that's blocking the progression of the
story
well get comfy because you got at least
a few hours of grinding to do
this issue was especially true of final
fantasy 8 to the point that square enix
thankfully implemented a cheat menu in
the remaster
if you aren't interested in committing a
few hours to doing effortless battles
you can use this cheat menu to save
yourself some time by speeding up the
game
maxing out your hp or getting full atb
and
unlimited limit breaks if only more rpgs
did stuff like this
[Music]
number 5 earthworm gym
earthworm jim is fondly remembered for
its cartoony visuals and goofy yet
groovy hero
something that many seem to forget
however is just how difficult this 2d
platformer really was
those who do remember probably recall
extreme frustration and may have even
resorted to a handful of cheat codes to
make their time
easier there are cheats for giving
yourself extra lives
extra continues refills on energy and
ammo level skipping
level warping and even a debug menu that
grants access to more cheats
hey if the going gets tough take the
easy route
[Music]
number four turok dinosaur hunter
turok was a tough game by design but the
level of difficulty went beyond the
tough ai and unforgiving platforming
no what made turok complicated was the
weird control scheme for which the
nintendo 64's awkward controller design
was at least partially to blame
if you're one of the folks who struggled
to grasp the controls
you probably resorted to taking the free
scripted will away from the ai
and by that we mean a cheat code typing
in the code snfr will activate the
game's disco mode
rendering enemies defenseless and
forcing them to dance
or if you really wanted a power fantasy
you'd trigger the big cheat which
enables invincibility
unlimited ammo level warps the whole
enchilada
[Music]
number three battletoads
[Music]
ah yes the old school classic that has
both amused and enraged players around
the world
battletoads has admittedly reached the
top spot in a number of our difficult
games lists but thankfully there is a
way to make things easier
if you've died too many times on the
speeder bike levels or
fallen at the hands of some basic grunt
you can use a cheat code that starts you
off with a few
extra lives if you had a game shark or
game genie however you could simply get
infinite lives no it didn't make the
game a breeze
but at least the game overs were less
frequent
[Music]
number two superstar wars
[Music]
given the mass appeal of star wars you
wouldn't think that this video game
would be so punishingly hard
but super star wars is merciless because
enemies spawn in at a continuous rate
you progress through levels at a snail's
pace
we may not have known these cheats back
then but there are ways to get past
those asinine levels
you can give yourself some extra
continues or make it so that you start
the level with your lightsaber
you can even access a nice debug menu
which lets you tamper with stage
selection
your health values which weapon you
start with and how many lives you have

number one contra

is not only one of the hardest games

the famous konami code
the ole up up down down left right left
right ba
has saved us a number of times and in
this case it was by giving us
30 extra lives trust us in a game as
maddening as contra with bullets flying
all over the place you need all the help
you can get

infamously tough game

other games as well as movies
music and television
