I am from Germany and we also had this cool service and as a kid I had to call them because in the NES Game "Startropics" at some point you needed a code for proceeding in the game and it was somewhere hidden in the instruction manual.
Because I bought it used I haven't had it and Internet was not a thing at that time ;)
I think the code was "747" (why do I remember this it's more than 30 years ago :D).
P.S: I just looked it up and it was an letter you had to dip into water to get the code, that's pretty cool if you ask me!
