Hey guys, got a question here. I recently went through some boxes and found my copy of SaGa Frontier for PS1. It's still sealed from when I bought it at Kay Bee toys like six years ago or whenever. It was the last copy they had left, and it was fresh off the rack behind the game counter.
But here's the thing: there's no manual inside. As far as I can tell, it's factory sealed with all of the original wrapping and the barcode sticker. And there's even a subscription or registration card in the booklet slot of the jewelcase. However, the booklet is just straight up missing. I can't imagine someone resealed and return the game without including the booklet.
Has anyone seen this before with a brand new game? I'm sure it's a factory error, but I don't get how it happened. I remember reading an article back in the day about how Nintendo would weigh each SNES game box to make sure they had all of their contents. I figured they'd still be doing something like this, and an instruction manual in a PSX case makes up a significant amount of the weight....
