InterAct Accessories GameShark CDX for Dreamcast

Pros: thousands of codes pre-installed, add new titles and codes, Gameshark.com website access
Cons: tediousness manual entry, some codes may crash/interfere with gameplay, trial-and-error

I am familiar with software like the GameShark through its predecessors like the popular Game Genie for the Nintendo game system. I remember how much fun it was to search recentlessly through the included guide book back then, to discover codes and...

Pros: Unlimited lives, invincibility, unlimited ammo, secrets, unlock inaccessible things, memory card management.
Cons: Pay $60 for each new version, not very durable, hideous, can harm games and system.

Say, aren't you getting tired of being blown up in GoldenEye? Or maybe you'd like unlimited lives in Mario? Or perhaps unlimited items in Zelda? Why should you do all this hard work? After all, it is only a game, and games are meant to be fun, not more...

Pros: Can anyone say "Make your own codes?"
Cons: 8 memory cards do not hold all that data

Okay, let's look at a few things other than the fact that it is a device full of codes used for disrupting the natural flow of your video games in a favorable way(usually).


Now that we have gotten past that, let's look at what this thing...

Pros: V-mem, lots or space for codes, and code maker.
Cons: Freezes up, cause glitchs in the graphics sometimes.

First of all I hate cheating it defeats the whole point of playing the game, but I am going to rate this product by it pluses if you do like cheating. That said the GameShark Pro is a great buy. Here is why I think so.

1. The only reason I...

Pros: helpful and powerful, can add a whole new dimension to your gameplaying
Cons: non-intuitive interface, does not work with all games, not compatible with all GB peripherals.

I'll be the first to admit that I am not much of a gamer. Sure, I like to fool around with the ocassional simulation or dungeon crawl, but spending hours on end playing the same mind-numbing fighter (not that there's anything wrong with that...) just...

Pros: Lots of codes built-in and on the 'net.
Cons: Poor design, not 100% compatible with all games.

I admit it, I cheat. For most of my game playing life I actually never got into the Game Genie, Game Shark, or Game Action Replays. I usually stuck to the standard built-in codes (UUDDLRLRBASelSt) if I ever needed a few extra chances at a game. But...

Pros: I have been able to get countless number of unbelivably cool things in my games
Cons: I have had to get mine fixed 4 times!

I got my first Gameshark 2.2 3 years ago. I was amazed at the options I had. I could make Mario look Mexican, make James Bond fly, or select secret characters in Killer Instinct. Now 3 years later I am finally understanding how to make codes and whipping...

Pros: gameshark
Cons: cheaters paradise

When I got gameshark I couldn't wait to use it because of all the codes that I could never use without it. It didn't take even 10 minutes to figure out how to use it and it didn't even take me long to learn how to write gameshark codes.
Gameshark...

Pros: Um, cheat on some games.
Cons: Very hard to use, will be worse in the end.

This Gameshark is definitely not worth it. You place it into your Gameboy Advance and then put your game into it. You have a few options with the Gameshark on the Main Menu.

You can start the game with some of the built-in codes. However,...

Pros: You get to cheat, and beat most games without having to use any skill
Cons: very user UNfriendly, sporadic, screws up a lot, erases itself a lot

The Gameshark is a good tool if you want to explore different aspects of a game's programming.

If you simply want to use it to cheat, well, things can get boring. I mean the whole point in buying a video game is to have a challenge and to use...

Pros: Makes video games funner then they already are.

I purchased this product because I wanted to see what every one else was talking about. This grand invention lets ordinary people do extraordinary things with their video games.Such as using codes to get infinite ammo or infinite health to get through...

Pros: Capable of playing imports
Cons: The price and times when the game freezes

Finally, the gameshark has hit the sega dreamcast, selling like hotcakes to dreamcast owners, and it's not because you can hack codes into your favorite games, but cause of a feature that was never meant to happen, and that is having the capabality of...
