The Sega Genesis existed in a beautiful time where games were filled with cheat codes waiting to be discovered and distributed like local legends. Whether it’s something cosmetic like bigger heads or changing the name of the characters in your army, or something more useful like skipping to other stages or becoming downright invincible, there were codes all over the place.

And luckily, with the Sega Genesis channel on the Nintendo Switch Online, these codes live on.

Below is a list of all the various games currently available on the Sega Genesis channel. If there are codes you can just go ahead and click on the game to be taken to the page for it.

If there isn’t, it’ll be listed as “(no codes available)”. But even if there’s no codes, holding down both triggers to activate a rewind mode is an extremely powerful tool that got me through a lot of games I admittedly did not have the skill to beat in my childhood.

Without further ado, let’s get to cheating.

(Note: The games are listed in order of their release date on the Sega Genesis Channel.)

To access the Sega Genesis Channel, you must have a Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership. This costs $49.99 for the year and also provides access to games from the Nintendo Entertainment System, Super Nintendo Entertainment System, Game Boy and Nintendo 64.
