Cheat Engine is an open source tool designed to help you with modifying single player games running under window so you can make them harder or easier depending on your preference (e.g: Find that 100hp is too easy, try playing a game with a max of 1 HP), but also contains other usefull tools to help debugging games and even normal applications.

It comes with a memory scanner to quickly scan for variables used within a game and allow you to change them, but it also comes with a debugger, disassembler, assembler, speedhack, trainer maker, direct 3D manipulation tools, system inspection tools and more.

For new users it is recommended to go through the tutorial(The one that comes with Cheat Engine, you can find it in your programs list after installing) and at least reach step 5 for basic understanding of the usage of Cheat Engine.

In my opinion, it's the most complete gamehacking suite I've ever used. Good functions and macros. The only con for me is that it is available only on Windows. It could be cross-platform as well. (I.e. such as available on Linux.)

Cheat engine is not an alternative to GameCIH. Cheat Engine will not run on your phone. There are no known alternative's for gameCIH as of this posting.

It's an alternative for Windows only. Please don't erase alternatives like this because of platform compatibility. This aspect is an important part of the way AlternativeTo is organized. Instead please use the platform filter to find compatible alternatives to tools.

Zizoo, It's not an alternative to anything when it has OpenCandy, which is malware attached to it

Now there's a mobile Android version available, but deprecated. GameGuardian is certainly the best alternative to this. Features might not be equal, but it has similar functions. Also, as of the time I'm posting this, they've added the feature to do the gamehacking without rooting your device, as a dual-space simulation method.
