    Something a lot of people forget is that looking stuff up is not something normalised recently, older games tended to have a freaking manual that explained most bosses and areas, it even gave hints!

    I get that you would prefer that, lucky there’s plenty games for both of us.

      There were also printed game magazines with hints, walkthroughs and such.

      It’s okay to look things up.

      Fair point. I always associated those with the fact video games were relatively newer media at the time but you are correct. Some times they would give you maps and instructions.
