I found this ad in an old comic book, does anyone know what this is? What does that bit about real gold mean?
>>98415288Honestly it might be one of those scams where they charge you insane phone bills per minute
>>98415288This was created by the Fighting Fantasy guys, so I'd suggest you search along those lines for more info.
>>98415292I think so too, it doesn't say "toll free" anywhere.
>>98415292>>98415444Your both right, the bottom says "All calls charged at $.60 per minute. You can also "store your character in LIMBO" by pressing 9, so presumably you would be playing for more than one day.
>>98415292>>98415502I'm not sure if this is more or less pathetic than those phone sex hotlines that used to exist.
kill jester.
Anyone brave enough to send for a FISTing kit at that address?
As >>98415333 hints, it was essentially a Fighting Fantasy book over a phone call. You needed a new-fangled touchtone phone rather than a rotary dial (yes I'm old enough to know I shouldn't be here still), and it was very "press 1 to go east, 2 to go west" etc. The gold coins thing I can't remember, but I'd assume a monthly draw to win a small commemorative coin. I doubt they were giving away krugerrands at the time.
>>98415586The comic I skimmed it from was from 1988, no fucking way that building is still there.

>>98416398It's a high rise built in 1972, still there. Of course, the tenant of that office is LONG gone.

>>98415566>>98416689Such a classic.
