Episode 390,   Aug 11, 2023, 07:42 AM

Remember the joy of opening a game case and finding a detailed manual inside? Sadly, many modern games have left this cherished tradition behind. But thanks to passionate enthusiasts like our guest Rowan Fox-Noble, gamers can once again experience the tactile pleasure of flipping through a beautifully designed game manual. We discuss the labour of love that goes into recreating these nostalgic treasures.
