This makes me feel old because I think of the days when there was a chunky manual inside with controls, maps, and lore.
33I would always try to remember all the controls so i could jump right in as home
7I think I flipped through the manual of the Legend of Zelda on nes multiple times. The artwork in that thing is so great and all the lore and information that was in there was awesome.
I really miss those things.

And they had little books with info and pictures.
24Pffft they came on cassette, there was no room for books! Mastertronic and their 99p games were amazing, the picture on the front was always the biggest lie ever
4That and a picnpix from Woolies was life!

and copy protection codes. Please enter the 5th word from page 19 of the manual.

I miss when PC games had flaps on the box, and they'd be full of screenshots and art from the game.
16And big fucking tomes for manuals.
9Not a physical manual tome, but this Prima Guide for TESIV: Oblivion is something that is enough for me to convert to pdf.

I remember when you had to spin the wheel to get the current code to unlock the game. No, I don't miss that.
What I miss is having less responsibilities, while at the same time I don't want to have less (and I always wanted to get older as a kid to be more in control, so I doubt I would like it now).
5Now I work a bit to hype myself up about games. The game's wiki usually has a good synopsis and some wallpapers. There are promo videos, and often a promotional website. And the flow of memes and *ahem * fan art coming from new game releases is often also helpful.
