Cheatbook was founded in 1996 in Hamburg, Germany, with a simple mission: give every gamer free, instant access to cheat codes, trainers, and walkthroughs — no sign-ups, no paywalls, ever. The first cheat code collections were distributed through an AOL gaming community and Hamburg’s classic dial-up BBS scene — players connecting with their modems to download the latest codes. What started as a small community effort grew into one of the internet’s longest-running gaming databases.
Unlike many gaming sites, we don’t hide content behind sign-up walls or subscription fees. Everything you find here has been freely available since day one — and always will be.
