Re: Talking Point: Do You Miss Instruction Manuals?

Whitestrider

Back in the days manuals were almost a must read because the game itself didn't explain much of the game mechanics or even its story: I remember reading the plot for Strider Hiryu from the manual, just a few linea, but they were impressive for the 10 year old me. Nowadays you don't really need them, everything is usually well explained in the game, if you need more informations you can find them online anyway.

Re: Video: Why Do We Buy And Collect Retro Video Games?

@TheWingedAvenger well, technically you may be right, but there are people that collect every kind of stuff since forever, like coins, banknotes, stamps, more recently comics and so on, and nobody would really say that those people have an addiction, it's just a hobby. Of course it can become an addiction in some rare cases.
