prepaid phone cards and other things that come with games

[raptor94k]

Just found a prepaid phone card for a hint/tips line in my Mohawk and Headphone Jack for SNES box. It has a picture of the cover of the game on it. I don't have it with me and I can't recall how much it is for. I just thought this was interesting.

Can anyone tell me anything besides the obvious about these phone cards? Did other SNES games come with them or just this one? Any games on any other system? Just thought this would make for some interesting conversation.

What is the weirdest thing you know of that has come with a game?

A prepaid phone card is pretty awesome. I remember that they were a pretty hot insert in the sports card hobby for a period of time in the mid-90s.

I can't personally think of any other games that came with them. Heck, I didn't even know this one did until now

I didn't know it either until I opened up the box the other day to see if I had a manual or not.

I bought a stack of about 75 SNES games from a closing video store about 5 years ago and since they had the boxes on the shelves with all the inserts in them, but only gave the games and the manuals to the people that rented them...almost all of them were complete. So I guess they just left said prepaid phone card in the box for years and I ended up with it.

Ive never heard of this happening before.

You should totally call the helpline and see who you get

Pre-paid phone cards are common with Japanese games - as a pre-order bonus. I actually collect Namco's Tales series phone cards.

The best item I've pulled out of a NA game is the Mutant League trading cards but I'm a huge fan.
