DOH! I forgot, but I shouldn't have.
The original Magnavox Odyssey had a whole ton of materials without which most of the games would be useless. Either Cards, Overlays, Gameboards, Tokens. Hell, even the instructions were absolutely necessary because the "videogame" part was in no way intuitive. You really don't know what you're supposed to do unless you've got a manual telling you what's going on.
Chronogamer. Every game. Chronologically.

Unless, of course, you're a pilot.
Well, I did a little research after this came up the last time, and the startropics map was not meant as any kind of copy protection. If you lost the map, they would give you the code on either the Game Councellors line or the Customer Service line. Makes me wonder if some didn't come with maps or something...

even with the map I can not get past the 60 level. Is the map wrong for the last level or something? I;ve played through it (3 hours) and then lose at the end. Decided I'm not doing that again untill I find out my problem. Can't imagine finishing with out the map and instructions included with the game.
the 3 swordquest games on atari required the comic books to be able to decipher the clues.
I spose you could bump your way around but the comics gave you hints to get the next clue.
man those games were frustrating ;-)
As hard as it is to believe - there's a 2600 game that you need the manual for : Activision's Space Shuttle.
You need it to understand what the status codes mean (usually when the game ends because you messed up) but it also tells you how to perform a deorbit burn so that you can land again.
Of course, that game came with the lovely overlays for the 6 and 4 switch versions of the console
