That's cool and all, but again, those sound to me like they were never standard. Wouldn't special editions of new games still have stuff like that? Yeah, sure, people like fancy manuals too, but that isn't what people are complaining about with games not having manuals.

this was 'standard' for PC gaming. of course it was probably not standard for console gaming. most of these are not special editions, these are just complex games that have complex manuals.

really, it's the internet that ruined this, though. sad as it is, the internet is a just plain better medium to present this kind of information, especially since games evolve way more these days than they used to. back then, a game would be released and stay the way it was released, and there was no internet to look anything up, so if you had a complex game, you needed a good manual. it was a crucial part of the package (for PC gaming anyway).
