lol your bother is a douche bag. what kind of cigarette wants to cheat so hard he breaks the game completely? no point in even playing.
I remember, for a majority of my gaming life, he'd walk into the room on me and go "Come on? You're cheating! Stop that." Which is why it surprised me so much he even bring up the subject of it.
Old games like this are easily breakable, even without cheats, as you know. But, in fact, the game was compensating for the cheats before that. Just before the freezing scene, the first time, I actually had Kid in my party. Kid started yelling at kid dialog naturally... So apparently they have some parts in there...
But the problem seems to be me, playing as Lynx, having Kid in my party selection when she should be with my original body, Serge. I need Action Replay codes to remove characters... I'm sure you can, but I think someone will have to create them, themselves... Help?
