I miss the old times of games that came in cardboard boxes with a manual. I have fond memories of buying Icewind Dale and Fallout 1/2 and spending some time reading the manuals. SiN also had a cool manual with a backstory comic that was the coolest shit to me as a kid.

Civ 3 came with a physical copy of the rules/civipedia. It was about 6x4" but was like 300 pages. That book was thicc.

I miss the Blizzard manuals. I spent so much time looking at the art for WarCraft 1 and 2.
