I miss digging through dozens of copies of Mace Griffin Bounty Hunter and Gauntlet Dark Legacy in clearance bins and finding a single misplaced copy of Imagine Lets Party Babiez and telling my friend Paul "dude I found your game" and him calling me a fag

Sure was fun when all the old games were behind the counter and you had to read off a list, asking if the guy at Funco had a copy of Fisher Price I can Count for your NES collection.

Also I believe at one point, many stores were just 90% copies of WWF War Zone

Digging through the bargain bin and mostly just looking at the back of the box for the system requirements ftw.

Stores that specialize in selling retro games are still like this, other than maybe once a year when they get a copy of like Super Mario RPG and sell it for $200

The real loss is even the few games that have good manuals now are only on PDF instead of print. I'd pay for poo poo like the fallout 1 or StarCraft 1 manual.

i was hoping i could use it instead of the in-game map but, as an mtv executive said after the 1989 VMAs, no dice.

It's really nice! You can get it directly from the fan gamer site for like 40 quid or so I think. Resellers on amazon sell it for 100+ despite it being in stock on the actual seller site. Also the first printing apparently had a binding issue that they fixed in later ones so you wouldn't even be sure you were getting one with a good binding form a reseller
