Cheat Engine

Considering that games are mostly a means by which we pass the time and relax, it should come as no surprise that sometimes you get tired of being beat by the same boss over and over again. That is when we sometimes feel the need to go all "God Mode" and defeat everything with one hit. That is precisely what Cheat Engine allows you to do, as it is an open source memory scanner, hex editor, and debugger mostly used for cheating in computer games.

Because Cheat Engine uses code that could potentially break a game and even lead to corrupted Save files, it would be advised to follow some tutorials first before attempting to use this app. With this aspect in mind, the first time you open the app you are prompted with the option of following a tutorial about all the basics of using this app. While the tutorials are indeed boring, knowing that after you are done with them you can kill any boss in your favorite RPG with just one punch will certainly make it worthwhile.

Probably the easiest things you could do with this tool is to modify fixed numerical values or use it as a speed hacking tool. For example, if you need to modify the amount of currency you have in a game, just open Cheat Engine, set it to open the game process and then let it scan for the amount you currently have, then replace the value with the one you need, such as replacing 169 with 999.999. One thing worth mentioning is that the "SpeedHack" tool lets you modify more than just the speed of games, it can be used to speed up the play-back times of some video and music players, along with many other types of software.

It doesn't matter if your trying to improve your game hacking skills or are just tired of being beaten by the same boss over and over again, Cheat Engine comes as a welcome addition to any gamer's digital library.
