I remember having a pile of gaming manuals about as towering (and top-heavy. And collapsing all the time) as my pile of school books. These days, I count myself lucky when I don't throw a new game's manual out because it just happened to fall in the take-away menu and you-have-won-a-free-world-tour vouchers pile.
HAHAH! MAN I remember the Civ manual! The main ones I were thinking about were the Wings over Europe/Pacific games, and then the best flight sims ever made, the Janes.EA ones like USNF, ATF, Longbow, etc... Also reminds me of Earthsiege, etc..... *sigh* You're making me feel ancient all over again...

Fortunately, I saved quite a bit of the boxes from the games I bought, AND I have a full plastic tote bin of all my old game manuals, key bindings, goodies, you name it. Both mom and Mrs. Whacker tried to make me toss them on more than one occasion, that always ended in tears and bloodshed.
