Mr.FoodMonster Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 at the local gamestop they have 2 GG, one with a red label, and one with a metalic looking one. is it worth 5 bucks, and wich one should i get? i was thinking the metalic one, sense it looks newer and therefore has more codes on it.

Brad2600 Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 Hmm. Mine has a plain label. No metallic or Red label. I dunno dude. Why not get BOTH just for the novelty of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Game Genie is a blank slate. ASSUMING you get teh right code book, the newer one is better. Otherwise, just embrace the internet and download all the codes you'll ever need.

Xot Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 Does it come with a code book? If not, it's largely worthless as last time I checked gamegenie.com no longer had codes on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.FoodMonster Posted September 5, 2003 Author Share Posted September 5, 2003 my first Genie was for N64, it had codes on it, so i figured this one did to. and i was wrong obviously Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasoco Posted September 5, 2003 Share Posted September 5, 2003 They had a N64 GG? Wow.. I musta missed that one. I thought that was the Game Shark age by then. I have the black labelled version of the GG Genesis. The GS has the gold one and I haven't seen the red one yet. I'm tempted to buy the gold labelled one too then get a red one later. Go for them all! Nah. Actually, I haven't had any luck in getting the one I have to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bratwurst Posted September 5, 2003 Share Posted September 5, 2003 Does anyone else notice a trend that the Genesis Game Genies tend to be a little harder to acquire than the SNES/NES ones? I'm still looking for one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasoco Posted September 5, 2003 Share Posted September 5, 2003 I did. I was surprised to find 3 at the store all at once. If you want me to grab one for ya, bratwurst, I'd be happy to ship it to you for the exact amount it costs me. (Don't ask how much right now. The Genie itself is $4.99+Tax vs. the NES GG which is $2.99.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
video game addict Posted September 5, 2003 Share Posted September 5, 2003 I had a spare at one time. It was black too. The one in my collection is gold. I've never seen a red one thou. I've also got a Action Replay, it does basically the same thing, although the code book is only the size of a small instruction manual.

I'm still looking for one. Not true. The Gamestop where I am had 2 or 3 of these puppies. I picked up one for $4.99. I also have the NES Game Genie. Holy shit! I need to crack it out and try some codes on some games!!! Just gotta find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
video game addict Posted September 5, 2003 Share Posted September 5, 2003 Speaking of which, I have some spare codebooks around here, 2 NES and one SNES, if anyones interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.FoodMonster Posted September 5, 2003 Author Share Posted September 5, 2003 oops, i ment Game Shark, not GG, sorry. its the same thing essentialy. i guess il pick up the red one, sense none of you have it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ze_ro Posted September 5, 2003 Share Posted September 5, 2003 Does anyone else notice a trend that the Genesis Game Genies tend to be a little harder to acquire than the SNES/NES ones? I've seen a few Genesis genie's around, but I don't think I've ever seen a SNES genie in the wild (seems to be quite a few on eBay though). I've also never seen a Game Gear genie in the wild, but I wouldn't expect the Game Gear version to be easy to find. Incidentally, I have a Game Boy genie that I bought back when it was new... it's a huge beast that doesn't sit at all properly on a GBA unfortunately... maybe I'll have to keep my eyes open for a Game Shark or something. By the way, anyone know the history behind why they stopped making Game Genies? After the Genesis/SNES, they just dropped off the gaming scene, and Game Sharks started showing up. Are Pro Action Replays still being made? --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasoco Posted September 5, 2003 Share Posted September 5, 2003 Speaking of which, I have some spare codebooks around here, 2 NES and one SNES, if anyones interested. Actually, I could use one of each. But it's not really necessary with the internet. I lost both mine. The NES one got destroyed a long time ago and the SNES one is floating around here somewhere. Intact. oops, i ment Game Shark, not GG, sorry. its the same thing essentialy. i guess il pick up the red one, sense none of you have it Darn. I had a feeling it was the GS. I was hoping for a GG. Were there any other GG's for other systems? Other than GameBoy? All I need is the GameBoy GG and I'll have them all in that case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know, the only Game Genies were for the NES, SNES, Genesis, Game Boy and Game Gear. Since when did they make a Game Shark for the Genesis?

Bratwurst Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 Jasoco, I'll let you know if I find one when I check the Gamestop/Funco store in my area tomorow, also the flea. I'd rather trade for one online though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasoco Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 Better let me know soon. The GameStop is dumping all <32-bit software and hardware. And I don't have much time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 oops, i ment Game Shark, not GG, sorry. its the same thing essentialy. i guess il pick up the red one, sense none of you have itNot really. Game Sharks have codes preloaded. Game Sharks can search for codes. Game Sharks modify RAM addresses. Game Genies have no preloaded codes. Game Genies cannot search for codes. Game Genies modify ROM addresses. In the end the Genie is far more powerful, though the average user may prefer the Shark for ease of use. ... Note that prior to the release of the PS2, Game Sharks were actually just US-released Action Replays. As of now, the makers of the AR and the GS have had a falling out. AR's manufacturers sell it directly in the US, under the AR name. Current Game Sharks are software developed by Interact, and by most counts vastly inferior to Action Replays.

Jasoco Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 Only the small stores and any leftover Mall ones that carry used old games are shipping them out. So check with them. Note that since it's only on a store-by-store basis, the prices sadly will NOT be slashed... yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariDude Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 at the local gamestop they have 2 GG, one with a red label, and one with a metalic looking one. is it worth 5 bucks, and wich one should i get? i was thinking the metalic one, sense it looks newer and therefore has more codes on it. I would get both. This way if one of them breaks, you can always use the other one. By the way if you are looking for codes for the Game Genie, here is a site that I recommend: http://www.genesiscollective.com/ You should download the file that includes a miniature version of the website with info on a lot of Genesis games and codes for the Game Genie. By the way of comparison, I have a game genie that is of a golden color and reminds me in certain ways of Zelda of NES fame. I think the Zelda cart for the NES was gold or maybe I am just confusing it with the gold box for the GBA box for the new Link game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was referring to what Mr.FoodMonster said, but now I realize he was talking about the N64 Game Shark that he had, and not about the Genesis Game Genie that he found. --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
