Today we rely completely in the internet.
Many get down and dirty and scour through code to figure out values and whats needed to unlock things etc.
But thats today..with computers and lots of software and access to it.
But how the hell did someone figure out up up down down left right left right etc...
How did people figure out that pressing up in some random part of mario bros 2 where theres zero identifying mark would transport them or kill them ?
Was it all trial and error or did some small group of people back then hack these games and look at code then to ?
Im convinced that devs just leaked the info to magazines and people just to get callers to there help hotlines.
