How to Find Console-Based Video Game "Cheats" Online

Since the days the first video game was created, programmers have included secret codes in the software. When the code is typed, the player might become invincible, or get special powers, and so on. These codes are all over the Internet.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Internet Access
• Video Games

1. Go to a search engine, such as Yahoo or Google.
2. Search for "Cheats" or "Video Game Cheats." ("Cheats" by itself seems to work better, for some reason.)
3. Pick your game from the lists of sites, and search for helpful cheats.
4. Look on general game sites, too - many of these offer cheats.

Tips & Warnings

• If you have a specific game you're looking for cheats on, search by the game's name (for example, use "Baldur cheats" for Baldur's Gate). This will get you more specific hits.
