Cheaterz! What games have you not beaten without cheats?

[The Metamorphosing Leon]

Well apparently it's cheaters week. I know we had the poll and that it's almost over, but why not make a topic.

Sometimes you just meet that game that seems impossible. Before you know it you're on cheatcc, or wherever, looking up the codes. So, what games have you not been able to beat without cheats? Be honest.

Me:

Double Dragon II
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (NES)
Contra (first two)
Star Wars: Dark Forces (the first one)

and that's all I can think of atm.

I've needed a walkthrough for a few games. I can't think of any off the top of my head, though.


I cheated a lot with GTA just for the change character/street riots etc. I also used the health and weapons cheats but they definitely took the fun away. By the time San Andreas came out I didn't bother with cheats.

Using the warp whistle(s) in Mario 3 if that counts.

I sat here for a good 5 minutes trying to think of a game that I was completely unable to beat without cheats, and every game I thought of I realized that I eventually managed to beat it without cheats.  The only games that come close anymore are the Star Wars games for SNES, but I haven't played those for more than an hour total, so I don't really count them.

Doom for the PSX. There was one room on the second to last level that I could not find a way out of. I used the walk through walls cheat. That's the only one I can think of.

Contra is the only one I can think of.

The original Contra. Ironically I beat Contra 3 on Hard mode.
