Oh the days when games have manuels

[Raigon]

Looking back in 2003 we had glorious thick manuals with the games we buy which you could spend up to 15-30 mins reading good times we lived in there some examples below 

 

However now we spend between £40-50 pound for a game and all we get is a big case with a disk / cart inside examples from Kotaku and the net..  I do think we have now come to age of download and streaming however companies seem to keep prices same or high even if you purchase and downloaded a video game which does not have a case and manual it goes to show that major publishers are profiteering and their excuse is we want to keep prices fair and balance between a hard copy and a download copy which is bonkers right?  

£45-50 pound for game like below probably £10 is just for the plastic case

What if I told you, a lot of your steam games came with manuals as well

 

[Raigon]

Nothing beats a manual that you have in your hand

Ah just remembering while waaiting for the game you bought is downloading and getting ti read through a colour print manual. The days

 

[Vladic Ka]

In the 90's you could only unlock some games by entering a random word from the manual that the game asked for.......

The original gran turismo had quite the thick manual
