    Why, back in my day, kids got a Nintendo with Super Mario Brothers and no manual!

      Actually, I feel like back in the day we actually got manuals with tons of story content and artwork and such. Game manuals seem to have mostly fallen to the wayside now.

        I got my NES and games used, so I didn’t get any manuals. It took 10-year-old me forever to realize that I wasn’t supposed to shoot the unarmed targets that popped up in Robocop 2’s shooting range, and I never did figure out what the goal of Fester’s Quest was.
