I was wondering how long you folks keep your game manuals for. I was doing a little cleaning of my bookshelf the other day, and I found a bunch of old ones that I'd tucked away and forgotten about.
I had the manual (and the strategy guide...) for the original NES version of Final Fantasy, as well as the manuals for FF2 and 3. The old Breath Of Fire manuals, and all the extras that come with stuff like that, maps, monster posters, etc. I ended up throwing it all away (I couldn't tell you where in the world my SNES is anymore, and my NES stopped working months ago) but it got me wondering, as I looked at the various computer game manuals I've got.
Pretty much the only two manuals left in my apartment are for WarIII and WoW.
Do you guys actually RTFM, too? When I first got it, I skimmed over the manual for WoW, and then I took it to work last night and read every word. The WarIII manual I looked over the controls, and didn't bother with the (long and good looking) story in the back.
So what about you folk. Use the manuals? Keep them? Toss them? Skim them? Use them (these days) as paperweights?
