 Yeah. This added a lot of depth to the game, and there was a lot less

That would still be easily defeated these days.  Besides most games don't even have a manual or book, and if they do it's in PDF or only on their website.
It's all about online required sign up and verification now.  Sucks if the internet is out though.
