Instruction Booklets: a Retrospective Gaming Analysis from Gaming Introspection
7Craving a retrospective on video game manuals? Embrace your retro gaming nostalgia and check out tons of Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, PS1, Game Cube, and other samples of the best and worst instruction manuals in history.
Gaming booklets have undergone a drastic change from the early, pre-internet years of entertainment. What used to be a time-honored craft with real artistry and commitment has slowly devolved into nothing more than a simple website link to give the gamer more work to do! This retrospective keys in on the elaborate storytelling and visual spectacle that helped gamers get past crude graphics, preparing them for the quest they were about to embark upon and engaged their imagination. They have slowly become slimmer and more bare bones until, today, gamers need to stay glued to their phone or laptop to access a digital manual that takes a lot of the experience away.
I hope you join me for this introspective and retrospective look at a retro gaming past time, and let me know, which instruction manuals did you enjoy, or are you glad they're gone? Thanks for watching, have a great weekend, gamers!
