This makes me feel old because I think of the days when there was a chunky manual inside with controls, maps, and lore.

Pffft they came on cassette, there was no room for books! Mastertronic and their 99p games were amazing, the picture on the front was always the biggest lie ever

and copy protection codes. Please enter the 5th word from page 19 of the manual.

I miss when PC games had flaps on the box, and they'd be full of screenshots and art from the game.

I bought that (and still have it) when I got Oblivion, expecting to need it like I did for Morrowind. Definitely did not need it.

I had it while playing the game all those years ago. I didn't have much access to internet back then, and although I don't remember the specifics, I remember looking up some deadra/Mehrunes Dagon oblivion planes for some stuff. And a few of the annoying quests, like Glarthir's Paranoia quest in Skingrad.

Nevertheless, it was a fine thing to skim through even without needing/wanting to find something specific. The page background, layouts, font and colors all being in sync with tbe game still adds a ton to the immersion of that game.

I remember when you had to spin the wheel to get the current code to unlock the game. No, I don't miss that.

What I miss is having less responsibilities, while at the same time I don't want to have less (and I always wanted to get older as a kid to be more in control, so I doubt I would like it now).

Now I work a bit to hype myself up about games. The game's wiki usually has a good synopsis and some wallpapers. There are promo videos, and often a promotional website. And the flow of memes and *ahem * fan art coming from new game releases is often also helpful.
