The Site Wars: A Dot-Com Story of GameSharks, Site Wars, and a Hacking Community Called GSHI

This is the story of the Game Shark Hackers Index (GSHI), a renegade community of self-taught reverse engineers who used cheat devices not merely for infinite lives, but to become masters of a game's reality. From their humble beginnings on ad-plastered Fortune Cities pages, they rose to become kings of the PlayStation, creating legendary hacks that could unlock developers' secret "debug rooms" or even allow players to take control of the enemies they were meant to fight.
