GameShark Returns—and It’s Bigger Than Ever (Thanks, Kickstarter!)

Remember those magical little devices that let you fly through walls in Super Mario 64 or unlock every character in Street Fighter Alpha without the grind? Yeah, them. The legendary GameShark is making a triumphant return—not as a hardware hack, but as a hardcover book.

Led by Todd Hays, the original creator of GameShark, GameShark Returns: The Complete Cheat Code Compendium is now fully funded on Kickstarter. Priced at $60, the hardcover promises cheat codes for 100 iconic games plus insider stories from the devs and creators behind GameShark, GameGenie, and Action Replay.

But here’s where it gets cool: While the book covers the “top 100,” backers will also get access to an online vault with 500+ more games, regional code variants, hidden tips, and even weird edge cases (yes, there’s a whole section on “glitch codes that accidentally work better than intended”). Think of it as the ultimate cheat archive—part nostalgia trip, part technical reference.

If you grew up typing “UP, UP, DOWN, DOWN…” or wrestling with 16-digit codes to cheat your way through gaming’s golden age, this is the book you’ve been waiting for. 🎮✨
