If you're following me on X / Twitter (@memory_fallen) for my posts about reverse engineering retro games, check out RINGS OF SATURN, my Substack blog. Each week I take apart a different game and report my findings.
This week I'm examining Critocom, the not-terribly-well-received fighting game from Kronos Digital Entertainment.
There are five known cheat codes for the PlayStation version of this game, but only for the Saturn version. What gives? I decided to see whether I could find the missing ones.
Good news — I did find them. You can use them to upgrade your characters' ranks, watch the ending sequence, and play as the game's boss. Details are in the Substack article!
For the weekend bonus article, I looked at Grandia II for Dreamcast - one of my favorites from the year 2000.
This game has a hidden debug mode with lots of cool features. It lets you warp to any location, speed through the overworld, alter display parameters, and more.
I made a patch to enable it and wrote up notes on how to use it:
Get the patch from SegaXtreme
Get the usage notes from my Substack article
There are lots more reverse engineering articles in the archive. What games should I be looking at? Tell me, and I might add them to my list.
