If you've never heard of the Nintendo Power Agents you probably shouldn't even be viewing this site. These guys worked for the Nintendo 1-800 tip hotline back in the 80's. The hotline was something like $1 a minute and when you called in the agents would give you hints on how to get past whatever area of a game you were struggling with.
For years this page has been a barren wasteland, but since I recently got an email from a former Nintendo Power Agent I figured I'd turn it into a "where are they now" kinda thing. So if you used to be a Nintendo Power Agent, go ahead and send me an email.
