how did people find cheat codes in older games?

387 views

Older games had stuff like passwords or the konami code, but i dont see how those button combos could be figured out by one player. Im guessing some official strategy guides had them but if the game didnt have one or didnt include them, did they just spread word-of-mouth from that kids uncle who actually does work at nintendo?

You need a disassembler and the ROM as a starting point. Much more difficult in 1986 than today, but it could be done.
