Vintage 1991 Lewis Galoob Nintendo NES Game Genie Pass-Through Cartridge (Loose - Tested & Working)

First released by Lewis Galoob Toys in 1991, the Game Genie revolutionized home video gaming on the 8-bit Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). Designed by Codemasters, this iconic pass-through device plugs directly into the NES console slot between the system and any standard NES cartridge, allowing players to manipulate game code in real time. By entering alpha-numeric cheat codes at boot-up, gamers could unlock infinite lives, invincibility, level skips, and custom movement physics across hundreds of classic titles. It stands as one of the most famous and culturally significant video game accessories of the 8-bit era.
