She's super excited to see all the scorez I'll be bringing in. Of course we have a different definition for "score" :D


It's quite a few pages, but if there's demand sure, I'll do it. I'm starting a poll to see :)

The Poll is missing the option: "I'm so crap at games, that nothing, including this book would be of any use to me".

Hardware cheating is possible in some very rare cases. Back in the 80's I built a special "Daley Thompson Joystick", just to beat the Decathalon game. It consisted of a handle you turned with 16 switches. One turn of the handle was equivalent to moving the joystick back and forth 8 times. It not only meant that Daley easily ran at full speed, but it also saved my joystick from an early death.

It's probably still in a box somewhere in Ireland. It wasn't pretty though. It was made of three pieces of wood and 16 nails with wires attached. Its design was inspired by a local "Wheel of Fortune" at a fair I had been to and it sounded like a football rattle when you used it. Not my proudest hardware moment I must admit.
