I called a few back in the day for clues. Sonic 3, Tomb Raider 4 (I think), Overblood (lol) were a few games that stumped me as a baby child. This was long before I had internet let alone a PC that could connect.

It was something like 5-6 bucks per minute a total rip off to have someone tell you you're a dummy for not looking up and pressing 'A'.

those phone lines got funnier to me when i learned that one of my mum's friends worked one for some extra money

she was a very happily married woman in her 50s who would be answering the line while doing housework when her kids were at school lol
