After just recently discovering the Internet Code feature of Beyond Good and Evil (and subsequently how to use it thanks to the Internet and a little research) I got thinking about how sparse the game's manual really is. Grayscale images, under twenty pages long, no significantly detailed world backstory, in-depth control descriptions, or mention of the official Web site's many integration features and extras. Then I started to think of the full-featured instruction books for Working Design's PlayStation RPG releases (LUNAR, LUNAR II, Arc the Lad).
So what do you say, citizens of DP: what are the best instruction manuals ever? All the other nicities included in some games are great (maps, item lists, strategy guides, soundtracks, puppets, button toppers, controller wrappers, stickers) but what instruction manuals are a treat unto themselves?
