10 Most Famous Video Game Cheat Codes
9. Instant Mike Tyson Fight - Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! (1987)
If you've only ever heard one thing about the original 1987 Punch-Out!!, it's probably safe to assume that it's the fact the final boss, Mike Tyson himself, is damn hard. DAMN. HARD.
Not only that, but because he's the last boss, dying to him and receiving a game over will require you to play your way through the whole game again, just to have another crack at him. If Tyson himself didn't make you rage quit, then this unforgiving slog will do it every time.
So, imagine if there was a way to skip all of that and plonk yourself straight back into the ring with your arch-nemesis. Too good to be true, you say? Well, it's not!
Punch-Out!! features many, many cheats indeed, but if you want to beat the game and still feel like you've achieved something, this code is absolutely the one for you.
Simple type in '007 373 5963' on the menu screen, and you'll suddenly be launched right back into the match as if nothing ever happened. And while you've still got a hell of a fight ahead of you, at least now your previous opponents aren't going to get up again every time you lose.
