Chapter 8. Playing Everything Else

Hacks 94-100

One book—100 hacks—can hardly do justice to 40 years of games and the clever ideas people have developed within and without. Here’s a heaping handful of hacks that didn’t fit in elsewhere but were too good to resist.

What would you give to learn how to beat any shoot-em-up? How about how to play Japanese games without speaking a lick of Japanese? Maybe you’d prefer to dig out your old DOS games from 1994 and play them on your PowerBook or increase the framerate of your Nintendo 64.

Crazy? Yes. Worthy hacks? You bet.
