Life before smartphones: In 1992 in San Francisco I wanted some cheap computer games. I found a discount software ad in a paper computer magazine for a software store at an address in Union City. The BART (subway/transit) map had a Union City stop, so I got on and rode there. Looked at a bus map in the Union City station to orient myself, started walking. 25 minutes later I found the address in a scary industrial park.
Bought a DOS copy of Reach For The Stars for $3.00.
