Two things that are very important to me have come together: vintage cheat codes (about which I wrote a terrible, and often way off-topic, Wii Fanboy column back in the day) and Ray Barnholt’s SCROLL Magazine.
The latest issue focuses on “Codes of Our Lives,” a historical feature about famous cheat codes, including a Game Genie sequence for high jumps in Super Mario Bros., Metroid and Kid Icarus passwords, and even the ubiquitous Konami code (in a writeup about its ubiquity.)
It’s beautifully written and beautifully laid out – so beautiful, in fact, that it makes total sense for Ray to start selling art from the magazine as standalone prints, including the above typographical Slime.
