I usually collect old copies of PC games if I find them cheap at car boots and the like. Most of them are "Sold Out" brand copies from the early 2000s and it seems as if floppy disk copies of old PC games have all but vanished. I'm a bit wary of more recent games because of Steam and the like.
[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;44954031]Maybe it's just nostalgia for me, but that's one thing that is almost objectively worse today in games.
Manuals are non existent/relegated to online PDFs. I remember every game I bought as a kid, I'd read that manual the whole drive home and get really informed about the game and the controls and try and understand things from reading the manual, I always found them fascinating. Shit, some of them were huge like the Kotor manual.
Now, I buy a game like Infamous Second son, and the "manual" is literally a single page folded leaflet with url's to websites. God damn I dislike that. Thanks for not cutting down so many trees but that's just a sad thing to lose.[/QUOTE]
I remember my copy of Turok: Dinosaur Hunter on the N64 and it came with a free comic inside the instruction manual. Was confusing as hell seeing as how Joshua Seed isn't in the first game and Tal'Set is.
I loved looking at the art of the characters in the manuals, especially for the Nintendo games. That art of Link and Zelda in the Ocarina of Time manual were always nice to look at. Star Fox Adventures had a large image of Dinosaur Planet in it's manual with quite the bit of detail and it had names and arrows pointing out all the little different places you could explore.

I thought American isp were notorious for putting on bullshit caps?
the only boxed releases I have which are new must be Crysis 3, Bioshock Infinite, Metro: Last Light and Farcry 3

What, as far as i have heard from pretty much every American is that they have one of the shittiest (no offense :v:) internet there is compared to the prices. As far as the Netherlands go you pay 40 a month for 150/150 Mbit uncapped.

I mean, this is ridiculous for Americans.
Tux Racer really surprised me. I might have to find a copy of it, I loved that game when I was a kid.

$50 a month for 6mbps? I wish, Comcast doesn't even give us that. We pay $65 a month for 3mbps. Can't switch off Comcast either, the only other choice is satellite.
