Players Guides are where Graphic Design Peaked

I miss the comprehensiveness of old Player's Guides where they were often writing the guides in tandem with the developers actually making the game, usually with late localization prototypes so they'd have basically all the info about the game.

These pages have so much personality and practically work as extended player's manuals in and of themselves.

Here's a picture of the Donkey Kong 64 player's guide I've had since childhood that I took pretty decent care of. The amount of detail, care and attention that went into writing this guide is insanely great.
