I will be speaking at PAXAus with three other Sega Masters


Recommended Posts

If you gone know me already, my name is Tim!

 

I used to work for Sega back in the early 90's on the Hotline!

 

If you were stuck on a game, you called me and my colleagues to tell you the cheats and walk throughs for all of the Sega titles for the Master System and MD.

 

Me and three other "Sega Masters" will be talking this Saturday the 12th of October at 11am Melbourne time at the EB Live Theater.

 

We will talk about what it was like working for Sega, what our role involved and allot of amazing and funny stories we want to share!

 

If you cant make it, it will be streamed live on Twitch on the PAX3 channel!

....a little off topic....

reading that you @gadzooks worked on the Sega hotline.....you brought back a memory, being stuck playing Alex Kidd where I could not work out how to 'duck' to get under certain areas......but to get help on the hotline you had to have a membership, I didn't, so on the phone I'd get, I'd say my payment was in the post could you please help me out, I'm so frustrated?

and the help, gratefully received, was that Alex had to run then you had to push in the downward direction to make him............. slide under. So easy when you told.

Ah yes...bloody Alex Kidd...did you know it was the most common call we got for a game?

Usually it was the last room where you had to run over the symbols.in this order

Sun, wave, moon, star, sun, moon, waves, fish, star, fish.....this would complete the game :)

Actually no...we for me I didnt mind....it was my first job! I still say to this day I peaked way too early...LOL!

 

At first it was a local/std call so you were charged at those rates, then it went to a 0055 then after the hotline got sold off, it went to a 1902 number...but when it went to 1902 the service dropped because they got rid of all of the original staff, they got people that wernt passionate about Sega and the staff were not allowed to play any of the games...so you could imagine how that went!
