Instruction manuals died out as video games introduced tutorials instead. But now games such as Tunic and The Banished Vault are bringing them back

I remember Ultima IV had a map, a metal ankh, a spellbook, and like a 160 page manual.
I still have my Ultima VI Compendium and Map, all of the details in them and the game lore added so much.
I think Ultime IV also came with a prequel novelization of the original trilogy, or at least a decently detailed summary. PC games used to be packed it seems.
