Remember when video game manuals were awesome?

Maybe its cause it was PC, but I dont ever remember seeing a REALLY good game manual that "wow'd" me. Probalby the only one I saw that was cool was the Muppets racing one cause it gave you cheat codes in it.

The older C&C games had awesome installers. That ended with C&C Renegade.

I remember this! It was funny how the DOS version had the way cooler installation, with animated machine doohickies and everything. Meanwhile on Windows 95 you just got a background pic!

Yeah, the RA2 install was so cool, and after renegade, it just became a standard, boring, installer.

Fallout 3 had a pretty good manual, if I remember correctly. Had a cool layout and some useful tips, I was happy with it.

Worst manual ever goes to Modern Warfare 2, hands down. 6 or 7 pages of black and white that don't explain anything.

AC:Brotherhood's is worse...its a pamphlet.
The actual "instruction manual" is in-game.

Well you arent being lied to so thats a start...


So I own a terrible copy of a game called RISEN and...

the book is in about ~3-4 languages and is thick enough to kill rats...

RDR had a pretty cool manual
