Yes.  Those were the days before cybersex.  You had to get those numbers when watching infomercials in the middle of the night or in the back of girly magazines you'd buy from gas stations at 2 in the morning.

I remember those, the commercials were on all the time.
Tips hotlines...and books of tips. You had to buy books specifically with the game you wanted in them. I still have a few.

Erm, strategy guides? They still make them. :) Almost every major title has one. They're so fun to read, I just love them. Come to think of it, should order a few.

I know about them too, have a few myself (even in Croatian!), but you wrote "You had to buy books specifically with the game you wanted in them." which was kinda confusing.
