Back in my day we unlocked characters by pressing a series of buttons in a specific order and at the right moment
Up, up, down, down…
We had to, because your progression was deleted except for the score on the leaderboards between rounds. We also had to put coins in to play.

And if you don’t have time to play, they add a cheat code to unlock everything.
and sometimes you didn’t even have to use a cheat code, you just press a key and open a console
It felt rewarding.
Was just playing Sonic Triple Trouble 16bit and unlocked Knuckles at the end, which not only allows you to play with him but the levels/story line is unique. Pleasant surprise!
I just remembered that a couple games i played as a kid didn’t have save system so they just gave codes that needed to be entered the next time to go back there in the game XD
maybe the community name should be ttrpgmemes
I think most people probably aren’t looking at the community name. Confused me too.
I bought a game and paid for the dlc as part of one of the tiers. When I started the game, all the unlockables that I usually grind and pay for with game money, were unlocked as part of the tier i bought. I was so disappointed, I felt robbed of like a good 30 hours of gameplay that I no longer had to do. Just let me unlock the shit on my own, why would anyone pay to unlock everything? I just wanted the extra characters that aren’t in the base game
Oof ow ouch my old bones
madden ultimate team takes this to another level by having you pay and also grind at the same time and then a year later your progress gets reset
But how is this an RPG meme? Surely you actually did pay, for new character supplements etc.
“We picked princess to float two and a half screens. Then we would defeat birdo, and play a slot machine which we called a one-arm bandit on account of the crank being made from the old fake arms they gave civil war amputeeeees.”
