    Video games came with manuals that had sections for notes and people actually put notes in there, this was before youtube walkthroughs.

      There were those printed guides for the bigger games. I remember walking down to the mall and checking the guide when I got stuck in Tomb Raider 2. Gamefaqs has been around since 1995, I wasn't online til, I think 98 or 99.
