In light of Ubisoft's decision to remove printed manuals from their games, I thought perhaps a discussion of our favourite manuals is in order? (or perhaps the lousiest?)
 
The first one that pops into my mind:
MDK2, written in the form of a mad scientist's diary.

" Game makers are completely missing the point as usual.  The game manual can be an incentive to buy the legitimate product, by making the manual a "must have" art piece in itself.  Downgrading the product to a commodity level just removes the "special" element attached to games.  Next we will have very basic discs with no colour, just a name - as well.  Stupid if you ask me as it is a missed opportunity. "

Yeah I don't miss the manual as much as the trend.
How long before we're buying unpainted disks in a plastic sleeve?
How long after that before we're paying 10 dollars more for an unpainted disk in a plastic sleeve? 

Like Evercaptor mentioned: I bet Ubisoft will still be flying people all over the world to promote these games and printing out millions of "buy it new" code coupons to put in the boxes. I do appreciate the idea of "going green" but they have to do more than remove manuals to convince me.

I like the early Star Fox games on a game play level - I've always thought it was a shame that they're linked to such a lame franchise and characters.
