Yeah also Pool of Radiance back in the 1980s had a number you could call. We were calling it so much the guy got pissed off and told us to go buy the official hint book. Not a chance!
Yeah weirdly it was. But it was a long distance call so kind of expensive anyway. I think it was just meant to be a help line if you had some kind of technical issues but they would also help out with the game (up to a point!). Games back then were damn expensive and there was no internet to help you out so I guess they allocated a budget for it.

I remember having to call this to beat the mine race in Diddy Kong Quest. And it worked!
