Abstract

GameShark Magazine (originally known as Dangerous Waters) was the official newsletter for the GameShark line of video game accessories. The magazine featured a small number of reviews and previews for current games but was mainly focused on the hacking community for the GameShark cheating devices, including tips for writing new codes and upgrades for the broader GameShark accessory line.

Subscriptions to GameShark Magazine were solicited through registration cards included in GameShark products.
