> The game genie did not give you a menu, you inputed codes which would persistently modify the memory map of the cartridge allowing for things like 99 lives or max Hp. The “menu” you describe was a booklet containing every game and a list of code changes.
Yes definitely, I meant the booklet as the "menu" (just like many restaurants give you a menu that is like a booklet) and decided to call it that so it would be more relatable, but yes it was just a series of codes, but codes you read off the paper similar to a menu (or maybe better, a dictionary or index?)
I never used the knockoff clone, but now I'm feeling some very, very delayed FOMO :-D
