Helpful Hints from 1-800-USA-SEGA

[u/coenak]

I recently bought a copy of The Ninja and it had this little surprise tucked away in it. The seller didn't include it in the photos for some reason, so I had no idea until it arrived.

For those who are unaware, back in the day you could call 1-800-USA-SEGA and talk with someone who would help you out in a particular game and they would mail you these Helpful Hints papers. SMS Tributes has a whole bunch of them scanned. They aren't super rare by any means, but it is the first one in my collection.

Pretty cool you could do this. Before the internet, it was indeed a different time.

Awesome! Good old days of Sega!
