Cheats for Nintendo NES

The Nintendo Entertainment System was released in North America in 1985, and constituted the company's first foray into the home console market. The system revolutionized the video game market, and many of Nintendo's primary franchises -- such as "Super Mario" and "Zelda" -- had their home console debuts on the NES. Unlike subsequent systems like PlayStation 2 and Xbox, players could not save their games continuously. As such, many games were tough and the inclusion of cheat codes in games were welcomed by some players.
