The fun in such video games is the challenge. You take that away when you continue the game indiscriminately. If it is a game you like you should start from the beginning every time. As you get better, you will enjoy the satisfaction that comes with achieving higher and higher goals with each play. The same goes for cheats; what fun is it to just make the game easier?
Like another poster mentioned, if you just want to check out the end of a particular game, feel free to stuff the game full of credits but if you care about the game, it will just ruin the experience for you. That's probably why fighting games became so successful and extended the life of arcades for a few more years. They managed to retain the aspect of the challenge by allowing you to play other people, while at the same time getting quarters from players at an alarming rate...
