No, though I do kinda miss it. It was like an event or something to look forward to at times, since you'd go in, smell that familiar smell that was almost uniform due to the plastic. Then you'd look at the shelves and see all the shit you wanted was rented, so you ended up picking up some weird ass game and having a "I have no idea how to play this, because Clocktower on PS1 has weird controls and there's no fucking manual WHAT AM I DOING!!!"

I for real never got out of the starting office room, because of this very thing. Best damn rental ever.

I used to work at Blockbuster Video and can tell you that we purposely removed instruction manuals from game rentals because they were never returned when they used to be included. Though, at some point, basic instructions were printed on the back of the rental box for each game.

I miss seeing movie boxes. I've forgotten so many movies I've seen by now because I never owned them and I can't look at a box and be reminded of it.
