Sorry, I grew up on 1980s video games. Only nerds and losers read the manual.

Your loss. The manuals of yesteryear were amazing. Better than the game, generally.

Spotted the rich kid who didn't buy 40 games on one tape, each with an one-line description

Oh no, mine were fully pirated bootlegs. Even the commercial pirates knew to keep the manuals included though

If I read the manuals, I wouldn't still be saying Mario jumps on mushrooms and turtles and I like it that way.

You didn't read them in the car on the way home?

So did I and everybody read the manual, those who didn't just rage quit after five minutes because games were fucking impossible beyond the most basic racing or sports games.
