I remember pre-internet when Nintendo also had a “tip line.” My 6 year old brother and I called it a number of times when we were stuck on something in a NES game, and then my Mom lost her mind when the massive phone bill came. lol

It’s easy to forget that 900 numbers were big back in the day. And many of them were scams targeted at children until the FTC prohibited it.

It’s crazy to think what people had to do back in the day, before Internet was widespread.
I wonder how many games were left unfinished simply because there was no way to google that one piece of information without which you couldn’t progress further.
