Hidden game on Game Genie

[Jeffrey]

Ok. I am probably the last person to figure out that there was a hidden mini game on the game genie. And I actually discovered it by accident by just keeping the genies plugged into each other for storage space. Duh. But anyway, here is my question:

It requires connecting one genie to another. How many people back in the day would have had two game genies? It seems pretty obscure to put the effort into programing a whole new game. I am sure it was inspired by the hidden game on the Master System, which I also didn't find until 10 years later.

How many of you actually discovered this trick back in the 90's? It couldn't have been many.

Hehe, this is news to me. That's pretty awesome, is it a maze game? Too bad I only have one game genie.

April 1, 2003, my April Fool's Day joke was foiled by you meddling kids. On that day, I vowed revenge on this can't-be-fooled group.

Plugging to genies together produced nothing but a blank screen. No damage, no hidden-game. So, confess. How many finally fell for the practical joke?

I had close to 200 victims last time.

Well, i beleived you, but i wasn't on my way to get another game genie. Jerk.
