Since somebody shared this nice comic about manuals in games in another community, I was thinking about them myself.

My most cherished game manual was the Diablo 2 one. The way they created a little story for each single ability was such an atmospheric wonder and probably started my fascination with lore instead of story. They were also probably the main reason why I took the necromancer and started to feel bored, when necromancer are automatically evil in a setting. Get creative!

My father had Falcon 4.0 and that was "just" a technical manual in itself. 5+ cm thick and full of schematics of the cockpit. I was in awe as a child about the complexity of that thing.

Pretty much all of the Uniracers manual. I even made a post about it.

Jesus I remember how hard that game got towards the end. The trick puzzles definitely never got finished.

Yeah I think I only got maybe halfway through but I don't really remember.
