I can still remember the fun I’ve had using cheats in games like Age of Empires 2 (the sports car!) or GTA San Andreas (making cars fly and everyone fight each other!). They were available so you could mess around and have a laugh. Nowadays it almost feels like games are “serious business” and cheats are never included anymore. At best, you can unlock a few after stringent requirements like finishing the game / finding all secrets first or something. Or else go find some trainer or use Cheat Engine. I wish more games included fun, crazy cheat codes like in the past.

Note I’m obviously talking about single player, multiplayer is a separate issue.
