Fighters Megamix
is a 1996 fighting video game developed by Sega AM2 for the Sega Saturn. It is a video game crossover of various 3D arcade blockbusters by Sega, from the complete cast of ''Virtua Fighter 2'' and ''Fighting Vipers'' to Janet from ''Virtua Cop 2'' and the Hornet car from ''Daytona USA''. It allows gamers to play as the bosses of both ''Virtua Fighter 2'' and ''Fighting Vipers'' without codes. Intended as an introduction to ''Virtua Fighter 3'' (which was announced but never released for the Saturn), ''Fighters Megamix'' utilized the concept originally used by ''The King of Fighters'', whereby characters and styles from different games were mixed together. The open ended rings from ''Virtua Fighter'' are present (but with no ring-out), and also the closed cages from ''Fighting Vipers''. ''Virtua Fighter'' characters have new moves taken from ''Virtua Fighter 3'', including the dodge move, which allows characters to sidestep, avoiding a dangerous blow and opening at the same time ...

Cheat Code
Cheating in video games involves a video game player using various methods to create an advantage beyond normal gameplay, usually in order to make the game easier. Cheats may be activated from within the game itself (a cheat code implemented by the original game developers), or created by third-party software (a game trainer or debugger) or hardware (a cheat cartridge). They can also be realized by exploiting software bugs; this may or may not be considered cheating based on whether the bug is considered common knowledge. History Cheating in video games has existed for almost their entire history. The first cheat codes were put in place for play testing purposes. Playtesters had to rigorously test the mechanics of a game and introduced cheat codes to make this process easier. An early cheat code can be found in ''Manic Miner'', where typing "6031769" (based on Matthew Smith's driving license) enables the cheat mode. Within months of '' Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Ov ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
