Awesome game manual quotes
"Do not attempt any of the operations of this game in real life." (p. 1)
Okami
"Warning: The Wii Remote wrist strap and Nunchuck cord can coil around the neck." (p.5)
House of the Dead: Overkill
(about the director's cut mode, rough translation since I don't have the english manual)
"Until you've beaten this mode, you are not allowed to discuss House of the Dead: OVERKILL on the internet."
Anyone got any more?
I particularly like the Okami and House of the Dead ones. I remember seeing a thread the other day someone posted about the Metal Gear Solid 4 manual having operating instructions for the Dualshocks analog sticks. Something a long the lines of use left thumb for left stick, use right thumb for right stick. Sorry to the person who created that topic I cant remember who you are.
"Wii Balance board: "Do not use while under the influence of alcoholic beverage" (something about that, will have to check) Made me chuckle quite a bit when i saw that. "Humorous yes, but incredibly sensible advice I would have been much better of knowing before hand :P I should read manuals more often.
The Fallout 2 Manual was standout, iirc. I may go dig it out at some point.
This thread has the potential for greatness!
"Trauma Center: Second OpinionOh I remember this...I was like wtf?
"Do not attempt any of the operations of this game in real life." (p. 1) "
"I find it funny that some game manuals have a notes page at the back. Do they really expect me to make a list of notes as I read through the manual. Pointless."Originally them sections were for passwords, but since games don't have passwords anymore, I'd guess most people use them for cheat codes & things, although personally I've never used them for that.

I've used the notes section for one of my games recently. I wrote "Buy more beer." which at the time was true I needed more. I hope someone gets a good laugh if I end up selling that game with booklet :)
"Super Mario Bros 2 (US) manual, on the section about Birdo"He thinks he is a girl and he spits eggs from his mouth. He'd rather be called 'birdetta.'" "I can't believe I forgot that one. Birdo being transgender is the greatest thing in any game manual ever.
