Remember how game manuals included pages for you to scribble notes in?Let’s talk about that across 500+ posts.
I used to write down boss strategies, sometimes cheat codes too
Literally everything was so much more soulful back then.
>>12397629Notes section were only included because the printing process for manuals would require a certain page number
>>12397757Yes, but they didn't merely leave the page blank because everything back then was better
My 'tism wouldn't let me write in the notes because that would ruin the booklet. So I wrote cheat codes and stuff on linee paper that I cut to fit into the jewel case or game box.
There's some licensed GBA game based on a cartoon that had its manual's note page laid out like a Mad Libs sheet, where what you wrote in the blanks was both useful for the game and lead to a funny sentence when you completed it. The name escapes me, but it struck me as a good idea and it's the one single time I've ever actually used one of these pages.
>>12397758Oh I agree. I'm just commenting on why they were there
