Famista '92

Famista '92 is notable for being the first Famista game to use digitized voice samples. Outside that nothing has really changed under the hood.

Test Menu#

At the first title screen, before the "PUSH START BUTTON" message appears, press Left nine times on Controller 1 and Right twice (in any order), then press Start.

There was a simple cheat to enter this test menu, but it was disabled in the final release. Use Game Genie code PEKNSTAA, then hold A + B at the title screen and press Start.
