Tunic gave me that feeling
Or the instruction manual when those were a thing.
Reading the manual on the car ride home from FuncoLand was a rite of passage.
And looking at the one page preview of a “coming soon” game.
“look at that guy and the gun. I’m getting that game when it comes out.”
So relatable
No joke, the manual for the original pokemon games was one of the best gaming manuals ever created. Not only did it explain everything, but it contained a lot of cool art work that really sold the game world to you. I still remember coming home from the dentist, high af from the nitrous oxide, flipping through the Pokemon yellow manual, and wanting to get home as quick as possible so I could try out my new gameboy color!
The best thing about new games was the smell of the new box and of the booklet.
100% relatable
