Back when the net was still young, an old buddy of mine from high school & college used to supplement his income with game codes. I forget exactly which game, it was either mortal combat or street fighter. What my friend did back then was researched all the codes online and printed code reference booklets for the game. I remember there being many codes, probably 5 to 10 pages of them.

Whenever I was in the local mall, I would stop by the arcade - he was almost always there (with a stack of the booklets he made). The game was the hottest one at the time, so there was often a crowd of people around all taking turns battling it out. I believe my friend charged something like 3-5 bucks per booklet and was selling a bunch of them every day. He even ran out of stock, lol, once in a while and would drive back to campus to make some more copies in the computer lab.
