anyone have any idea how they first got all the codes they put in the first codebooks? when i was little i assumed they had a huge room full of typewriter monkeys entering random codes until one had a discernible effect. even then the idea seemed ridiculous but i was pretty sure developers weren't just handing source codes for their games to some third-party company.
later i realized that disassemblers could make the job way easier but what kind of gear might they have had access to back in '91 to do that?
