how did people find cheat codes in older games?

358 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?

The Computer magazines wrote about them. The kids would work hard for those $8 magazines. When that paycheck of 2 cents finally arrived to complete the buy, they rushed down to the store and bought the magazines. The naughtier ones just read the magazines while the clerk looked away.
