@pup_hime@toot.cat It gets worse too, because sometimes a game would expect you to not just read the manual, Some old games were built with the idea that you'd have to read something like Nintendo Power to figure out how to beat the game. I think Simon's Quest's Red Orb Tornado is one of the more infamous examples of this.

Oh yeah, and there were sometimes misprints in Nintendo Power and co too. Those were good times, I am sure.
