Lol I was partly joking around but we were the same with the cheat codes! I remember a friend showing the first one to us and we were amazed. It seemed so much more fun back then, when every advance was so hard won. I don’t recall if there were any Nintendo magazines available here, but if so, we didn’t have any. There used to be premium rate phone help lines if you got stuck on a game, but otherwise you were on your own.
Were you in the US, by any chance? I know the NTSC cartridges were different (PAL here), so maybe that’s why our ‘technomagical skills’ differ.
