TWINE Multiple PS2 & Dreamcast Cheats



This is getting ridiculous now.

We were told a good review would beat a discussion or a cheat. So why do the cheats keep winning? There have been PLENTY of superb reviews happening. This is crazy.

Who's with me?

Ban cheats from winning GAD, make a NEW competition.

By the way - no one has replied to my posts about the GBA - do I get a mains adaptor or not? This service is deteriorating. Diseconomies of scale.....
Also, why don't multiple reviews count? More cheats, more likely to win - I today have posted loads of massive, informative reviews of peripherals, so should they not stand a chance?

I just found what must be the greatest cheat ever.


RAMBO 3 - Commodore 64...infinite lives
Press all the keys to make the star on the Ocean logo stop flashing. Press all the keys again to make the star flash, activating infinite lives.


Press ALL the keys on the keyboard?

Imagine the fun kids would have had trying to press all the keys... before an adult kindly turned the keyboard over for them... only for the kid to turn it back again "because it's more fun that way".

This may be true but I bet they never found these cheats out for themselves. Unless maybe they are passwords. It is more than likely that they copied them out of a magazine or another web page.

I noticed that the people who won with cheats, actually won with multiple cheats, not just one cheat. This is probably the reason they won, and they can't have been bad cheats either. And there can't have been any good reviews or discussions on that day, so the multiple cheats won.

Not a bad idea Super Gohan but just think that if you were bored one day and posted some cheats. Then won. I bet you would want the game of your choice and not a free gift prize. Well at least I know I wouldn't.

I want gameaday to stay as it is, but change the decisions.

Good point. Sorry I forgot to mention that as I thought of it I get all of the current unclaimed prizes. Well there has to be some sort of reward for coming up with an original *hopefully* idea.

I don't think that you should ban cheats. I think that you should tell the judges to have a better think about who is going to win.

No, because if I don't win, I will be very jealous indeed! ;)

Do you know what. I think that all of the unclaimed prizes should be entered into one big competition and once a month the months best post will win all of the unclaimed games for the month. JUst imagine if loads of people forgot to claim their games. I mean you would be in gaming ecstasy.
