I remember reading "The Dark Wheel" when I finished I was ready for my space journey.
The wire framed GFX was filled by my imagination. |

I'm not talking about the Amiga specifically, but I really miss those old manuals inside the boxes of console games. They were great to pass the time, or during those bathroom sessions when I ran out of batteries for my Game Boy

Another book/manual sniffer here. Ringbound manuals are great I agree and seem to last longer as there is no stress on the spine every time you flatten it. Digital hardly ever gets read but when you do need to find something it is easy to search.

Yes, sometimes manuals are awesome, E-ink readers sometimes help but few of them are color. That said color seems to be slowly creeping into more and more e-ink devices.

Sniffing stuff is a long term memory trigger.

Do we need to move this to 'Kinky Amiga Stuff' now?

I'm just saying, smell processing happens in a part of the brain strongly coupled to long term memory. Smells trigger deep memories and nostalgia.
Smelling some of the food being prepared at my kids primary school can take be back 40 years in an instant and I'm literally there, for a moment (specifically it's a gravy smell. I hope to God the rest of the food is better!) Last edited by Karlos; 24 July 2024 at 14:16. |

Or, just hear me out, you could just READ them. I mean manuals. I guess sniffing manuals is fine, but that's not their main function. You are actually supposed to absorb information from them. With your eyes.

Read and sniff. That way you'll help create a strong long term memory of the text in your mind so that you don't need to check the manuals as often. You know, so that you can wrap them in something airtight to preserve that special aroma.

Infocom included scratch and sniff items with some of their games (mind you separate from the manual), so I guess there's a point about this olfactory discussion.
