I haven't done this myself, but has anyone ever called the old phone numbers for like ColecoVision tech support that were published in user manuals and the like?

What is actually more fun, IMHO, is visiting the former buildings where these companies were located. Most are just uninspiring office buildings, but it is still fun to visit the places where the games were developed.

You are right about having uninspiring office buildings. I recall passing the old Canadian headquarters of Commodore and it was definitely so.

I tell ya - using these reverse phone number look ups on the Net is yielding very little results...

I'm just gonna have to get aggressive and actually dial the numbers...
