It was really sad in those days when you had to call a hotline and get charged for a long distance call just to get unstuck in a game.  I was playing D&D Pools of Radiance for the Mac in the mid 1990 and was stuck in the last maze right before the last boss.  Because there was a Nintendo version of the game, I called the Nintendo hotline right out of the old Nintendo Power magazine for advice to escape the maze.  But when I told the guy on the other end I was playing the Mac version, he wouldn't give me any tips, using the excuse that the versions might be different and didn't want to misled me.  So we hung up, I called the hotline back, lied that I was playing the NES version, and got to the then of the game. HURRAY FOR NINTENDO POWER!!!!  I wonder if those guys still have a job.
