I bought Asheron’s Call (after a friend raved about it when I was in 7th grade) the day before we left on a family roadtrip. I brought the manual with me and fondly remember the discussions of different monster races, human networks and towns, weapons, and magic. Really set up for a great time that I might have missed if I had just installed the game and played. Those older games were pretty notorious for only showing those details in offline materials.
