This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Not to mention that at that time, games shipped with an instruction booklet that told you the controls.....

I liked the FFVII manual that gave you bios of all the characters, along with telling you that Cid is "old".

He's 32.

he's old to 13 year olds. And young enough to 40 year olds to want to sacrifice himself in the name of space flight.

And also young enough to piss off his wife.

some of them used to be really cool and detailed and they should still be a thing TBH if you're buying a physical game. my boomer opinion

I really liked the illustrations in the game guides, too. Yet another thing that Fandom stole from us 😩 /s
