I had no Internet in the early 90s (it wouldn't have helped anyway) and I have never bought anything that would help me to get through a game faster, I spent my money on more games instead. So my first game where I used a Strategy guide was Secret of Mana because it came with the game. Club Nintendo (Nintendo Power) was free but I never knew about it before mid ninties. All games I played before Secret of Mana were without any help and the first game I played was Tetris I guess. Which wasn't beatable anyway but I finished all games I owned except Spiderman on Gameboy which I almost finished, Endboss killed me of every time I got to him which was twice within 4 years of trying it repeatedly, but I lost the game.
