Won an original Link's Awakening Game Boy manual on a Goodwill charity auction. Had to share the nostalgia.

I can smell it. I can smell now the difference between Nintendo booklets and Sega booklets and PC booklets (Christ, trying to type in the Age of Empires 2 cd key).

I have 1000 games on Steam, and I know a lot of them come with some sort of PDF, and I'm not saying things aren't better, but I can miss that one aspect of the first half hour of experiencing a new game being reading, touching, smelling its lore and artwork.
