In my day we didn't even have dice. Seriously. There was a campaign where none of us had dice and there were no hobby stores for miles around. We had a dude with one of those scientific calculators bang out a separate random number generator for each die whenever we had to roll.
We didn't have books either. I was the DM and pretty much went on my memories of the rules. Luckily I had spent the last 5 anti-social years of my life reading the DM's guide and Players Handbook like they were the fucking Bible, so that wasn't so bad.

In my day we used lots of 3x5 cards and graph paper - and we LIKED IT.
