I think due to the prevalence of codes, some tenacious gamers would spend untold hours hammering away randomly, and would stumble into stuff. Look at how much time and energy soeedrunners put into breaking games these days. It's not far off.
For the mere mortals, we used gaming mags for sure, but there was also word of mouth. You'd compare notes with friends at lunch during school, and there's always that one person who has the inside scoop. You'd run home to try it, and 95% of the time it was total BS. It was a magical time!
