Get more out of computer game software, N-64, PlayStation and other electronic games.   You can get higher scores, play unknown levels, and activate features not listed in the game's documentation.

   Many games have hidden options you can activate by completing certain steps and/or pressing a series of buttons.   Codes, Hints, Cheats... whatever you call them, the fact is knowing what buttons to press and when can help you get more fun and more value out of your electronic games.

   For instance, if you own a copy of Nintendo's 1080 Snow Boarding for N-64 there is a special player you can access called "GOLD ICE MAN".   On the Nintendo website it says, "...Gold Ice Man is the game's best racer! To get the 24-karat boarder, select Ice Man, then conquer Match Race on the Expert level. Press the up C Button and then the A Button while choosing Kensuke Kimachi..."

   Game companies post cheat codes on the internet themselves.   You'll find codes for many undocumented Nintendo game features in the Nintendo Code Bank, but there are a slew of websites containing even more hints, cheats, and codes than you'll find on official web sites.
