If I remember correctly, hint books were sold (or included with?) alongside all of these games and if you were a fan of text adventures, you purchased them all.

I remember a few of them with a tiny red filter you had to lay on top of the book to see the text behind it. These were the days where games came in full sized boxes with plenty of cool additions.
- jghn 10y agoI had one for Zork 1 that used invisible ink. It came with a marker which would reveal the text so if you were really stuck you could look up the one question you wanted answered to see what to do without risking seeing other answers.
