I really miss the old days where once you buy the game there are several booklets and manuals (original art and characters’ bios..etc) within the box. I used to skim through them to get me hyped for the game. Nowadays those things are considered “collector’s edition”.

Nowadays you only get the safety manual and opening box is not that charming anymore. I remember back when I was in school my mother used to lock our consoles somewhere so we would focus on studying so I used to go through the manuals and get hyped thinking about what to do when I play the game once the school vacation starts.

Frankly enough I was introduced to some great games because of those manuals (for example I knew about Tales of Symphonia from the manual of Skies of Arcadia). So what about you guys?
