Probably my most-memorable manual of all time. This era was next-level with the manuals. With Police Quest 2 (pictured), you couldn't access the game without the manual, as it'd show you a mugshot and you had to match the picture to the name in the manual:
Back when DRM was fun
I dunno, it could be annoying. I played an indy 500 game that asked history questions from the manual and was a pain to find the page with the answer.
