8 Video Game Cheats You Were Forced To Use

I honestly don't get enough opportunities to talk about the sheer joy that is Pocky and Rocky on the SNES.

This game is at once cute as all hell, and hard as Lucifer is himself for people who sin. As you make your way through level after level of bullet hell madness, you'll have your skills pushed to breaking point by the adorable critters that make up Pocky and Rocky, yet the facade drops somewhat when you get to the final boss.

This guy is as cheap and nasty as an open sandwich from Poundland, and will completely destroy your stock of lives in short order with his homing magic attacks and ridiculous health pool. Still, some players discovered a cheat to beat this boss and it's become so useful that it's pretty much become the way to beat him!

All you have to do is make sure you're playing the game in two-player co-op mode, and have one player take damage from his lightning attack while standing in the top left or right corner, from here the game will somehow read that player as being immune to attacks, but also draws aggro from the boss meaning that you'll be able to kill this magic-wielding !*$% in short order.
