The manuals as well. Loved the WarCraft III and Diablo II ones. They were legitimately part of the game experiences as lore was told there. Now the publishers don’t even bother to include a single sheet.

Heck yeah, when WC2 had just come out (and I didn't have it yet because I had a Mac, and the Mac vers came out like 8mo later), I remember poring over the manual and getting all up to speed on the game while anticipating the eventual Mac port. I was enough of a geek to scan some of the awesome artwork from the manual (we had a 300dpi scanner!) and print it out and then color it with felt pens. I still have my colored Death Knight kicking around somewhere (this artwork: https://wowpedia.fandom.com/wiki/Death_Knight_(Warcraft_II)?... )
