Do you miss pass codes? you know these codes you inputed on NES generation games without a battery saveslot?

They had a couple of advantages:

_ Your saves couldn't be errased

_ Your saves were not console/cartridge dependent

_ You could crack the code and give yourself extra amo/life

_ You could have saves unlocking easter eggs

_ You could get a save past the point where you're stuck

They also had disadvantages:

_ You had to write them down

_ You could lose your piece of paper

There is some sort of resurgence of pass codes, 2 recent example of which are the following:

_ SSF43D codes to redeem figurine for spotpass (Tokyo Game Show Chun-Li: zAAkcHVbHk)

_ Mii Bar codes for the3DS :

One thing i'm sure off is that some games could really benefit from using these... I got stuck on the first PSP tales game... the first batch of UMDs had a bug where you'd freeze 100% of the time on one of the mandatory sequences halfway through the game.... kind of a game breaker ^^

Then again for an RPG nowadays you have so much inventory that a code would be very long.

Hell, no.

Nothing more annoying then losing your password book/paper.

The occasional "password hacking" attempt was all fun....

but they were just sooo much more annoying then save games.

No. Are you crazy?

That transfer code for Golden Sun, that was bloody long. I wouldn't wish that on anybody.

They were annoying and you think you have lazy ports now? I used to have Lemmings on the pc, running from hdd (10mb hdd at the time!), using pass codes....

Hell no! I still remember how hard was to introduce the codes of "Super Monaco G.P." on my Mega Drive/Genesis (4 rows and 16 cols of numbers and letters).

Hell no...
