I keep seeing that post about how modern developers making difficult and obtuse retro games without tutorials are “forgetting that video games used to come with manuals.”
Ya’ll.
Yes. Video games used to come with manuals.
And our parents and older siblings fucking threw the manuals and the boxes out.
By the time most of us got our hands on The Legend of Zelda: The Adventures of Link, the manual that explained anything had been in the landfill for a year.
I promise promise promise you that the people making these games didn’t “only discover them on emulator.”
These games were obscure and mysterious to us because as children we had to figure out what was going on by trial and error.
