Indeed. I think the angels cry every time I switch from ā3 cards at a timeā to ā1 card at a timeā when I get stuck in Solitaire.

The point of a single player game is to have fun. Breaking the rules doesnāt cheat anyone, other than possibly yourself. If giving yourself an edge you wouldnāt otherwise have makes you happy, what harm is there?

Itās worth noting too that a lot of games (computer and console) have cheats built in and accessible within the game itself. Iām just speculating, but the origin could have to do with people complaining about āunwinnable levelsā in certain games and giving them a way to complete them and move on to the rest of the game.
On some games, itās also not so much of a ācheatā as much as a ārewardā too. I remember some Bond games will āunlockā stuff if you reach a certain level (like big heads
), and I think in Banjo-Tooie (just to give an example of something I remember) you had to literally collect ācheat pagesā before you could unlock them. Sometimes they can make the game more fun (like unlimited ammo in Goldeneye), and the primary purpose of (most) games is to have fun.
The only thing Iād think would be bad is if cheating in a game spilled over into the real world and encouraged someone to try and take an āeasier pathā instead of playing fair like everyone else. For most people, this shouldnāt be a problem because they can separate their real life from their āin game lifeā.

Yes, those Goldeye cheats were darn hard to unlock, though! And you could only use them on levels you already beat. The one cheat I could never unlock was the Cavern level. It will always remain a blemish on my otherwise perfect record.Itās worth noting too that a lot of games (computer and console) have cheats built in and accessible within the game itself.
