Beemer, I am curious. How's the rest of the packaging on the games? Meaning the inserts, instruction booklets, etc. Rob had shown me Gradius and Castlevania's boxes and I was blown away by all the cool collateral that was included.
Depends on the game. Being computer games, there were no rules really. Some games even came with special controllers and adapters needed to play them in the box. Konami's giant plastic bricks were from '93 which is quite late in the systems life. YsIII came with a ton of shit like a mousepad. Marble Madness came with an actual marble, etc.
The most insane one imo is Midgarts, which includes a 200 page manual setup like a DnD book with stats like STR/INT, etc for all the characters, plus pages and pages of history. But the game itself is a straight-forward horizontal shooter. None of that stuff affects the game. In fact the actual instructions is a tiny half page leaflet just thrown in the box lol.
