Cheats in the old days were cool. If you played games, you cheated. The lack of a save feature brought this about. I remember playing Ninja Gaiden on the Gameboy when it first came out and guessing level passwords so I could skip that freakin jumping level.
I sometimes cheat after I've finished a game nowadays just to play around in the console area, and like SM70 I've been known to consult a walkthrough when stuck, especially when I'm trying to finish a game before buying a new one!
